Steak Tacos


Your slow cooker makes Mexican-style magic, turning flank steak fork-tender and infusing it with irresistible flavors for the best steak tacos you ever ate.



Ingredients
1 lb raw lean flank steak (I use semi-frozen steak)

1 packet Taco Seasoning Mix

1 medium onion

4 oz chopped green chilies

½ cup (or more) sliced bell pepper

1 point tortilla

Directions

Cut steaks in half; rub with taco seasoning. Place in a crock pot coated with nonstick cooking spray. Top with onion, bell pepper and chilies. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until meat is tender. Remove steaks and cool slightly; shred meat with two forks. Return to crock pot; heat through. Spoon about ½ cup meat mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with cheese, tomato and sour cream. Fold ends and sides over filling.

Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps


For a lighter alternative to taco shells, these lettuce taco wraps are fabulous!

Add your favorite toppings like reduced fat cheddar, light sour cream, chives, tomatoes or whatever you like on your tacos. Making your own taco seasoning is a healthier alternative to buying packaged taco seasoning, and uses less sodium, no sugar, no preservatives and no msg. It also saves you money if you are on a budget. If you prefer to use the package seasoning, simply replace it with the spices listed here.

Asparagus Soup


This creamless but still creamy soup is a great lunch or summer-night dinner on its own - but you can also spoon it over lump crabmeat, cooked shrimp or cubed tofu for a heftier meal.

Make Ahead Tip: Prepare the soup (Steps 1 & 3), cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Top with prosciutto just before serving.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth

1/4 cup water
1 yellow-fleshed potato, such as Yukon Gold (6 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried savory or marjoram leaves
1/8 teaspoon salt
12 ounces asparagus, woody ends removed, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Tip: Hot liquids can splatter out of a blender when it's turned on. To avoid this, remove the center piece of the lid. Loosely cover the hole with a folded kitchen towel and turn the blender on. Better airflow will keep the contents from spewing all over the kitchen.


DIRECTIONS

Place broth, water, potato, shallot, garlic, thyme, savory (or marjoram) and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potato is tender, about 8 minutes. Add asparagus, return to a simmer, and cook, covered, until the asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes more.


Meanwhile, cook prosciutto in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until crisp, about 5 minutes.


Pour the soup into a large blender or food processor (see Tip); puree until smooth, scraping down the sides if necessary. Season with pepper. Serve topped with the crisped prosciutto.

i've never thought about adding blueberries to chicken salad, i usually add grapes :) i'll have to try that!

and i finally made spaghetti squash the other night!! it was SO good! i am seriously considering never making real spaghetti ever again lol

here is that recipe if anyone wants to try it!


Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli

1 pound boneless chicken, cubed
1 cup sour cream
1 cup chicken broth
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
12 ounces frozen broccoli cuts (fresh is also acceptable)
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon arrowroot
1 tablespoon water

Rice, pasta, or biscuits for serving (I served over spaghetti squash)

In a greased crock, combine sour cream and chicken broth (I used my 4 quart).
Place chicken cubes in crock.
Sprinkle with garlic and salt.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
At the 5 hour mark, add broccoli.
Cook until broccoli is tender (frozen broccoli was ready after an hour).
Stir in cream cheese and cheddar.
Cover and let melt.
Stir to combine.
In a small bowl, combine arrowroot and water.
Stir into chicken mixture.
Cover and let thicken (about 5-10 minutes). Serve as desired.
Yield: 4 servings

Spaghetti Squash Recipe

Cook at 350. Halve the squash and pull the seedy insides out. Put squash cut side down in a baking dish that's big enough (or even a cookie sheet). Add about 1 cup of water to the pan. Bake 1 hour. When done, you can take a fork and pull the insides out. They'll come out in strands like spaghetti. If it doesn't strand easily, cook it a bit longer.
