https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Qt1ASZ9EHsgQQtqNe8pLl3hsQ1K6995k 

This is one of those wonderful one pot easy prep meals. No chopping! I made a less lactose version because someone in our family has a sensitivity. Use full lactose items if you feel so inclined

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs. uncooked chicken
  • 1 - 32oz. chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 - 28 oz. can green enchilada sauce
  •  Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 - 14oz. can of corn, drained
  • 1 - 14oz drained & rinsed can of white beans
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup almond milk (Or use all whole milk)
  • 1 cup of soy yogurt (or green yogurt or sour cream)
  • 2 oz. cream cheese or cream cheese alternative (cubed and softened)
  • 4 oz. green salsa verde
  • chopped white onion
  • chopped cilantro 
  • tortilla chips

***You could top with chopped avocado.

Recipe:

  1. In a crockpot add the chicken, broth, and enchilada sauce, Salt & Pepper. Cook on low for 7 hours.
  2. Shred the chicken. Add the beans and corn. Stir
  3. Add the cheese, milks, yogurt, cream cheese and salsa to the crockpot. Stir as you add the milks. Cook for another hour or until the cheese has melted.
  4. Spoon out and top with white onion and cilantro. We enjoy eating this with a side of tortilla chips.

***** You can make this in an insta pot as well. Cook the chicken with 1&1/2 cups of broth on high pressure for 8 minutes. Do a quick release after 10 minutes. Shred chicken. ON saute medium add the broth, chicken, enchilada sauce, salsa and heat until warm. Add cheese, milk, and salsa and stir until cheese is melted. Use Salt & Pepper. Pour in to bowls and top with cilantro and onion, or any other toppings.

In the midst of it all

Parenting lately has been a little rough.  I have a toddler, who is cuddly, independent, and stubborn, a daughter who can be helpful, and dramatic when she is hangry and tired, and a Kindergartner who is smart, knows it all, impulsive, and thoughtful.  These personalities make for interesting days, and that's not even mentioning my personality traits (which some would say are a little on the "feeling" side).  And in the midst of it all...

At the Ready

Sometimes there is nothing I can say or do to help you. Vastly different from the prelude of the season of parenting is where we remain now. Before you’d simply run to me with open arms when you were hurt, weren’t sure of the safety around you or uneasy of emotions that billowed inside. Now I stand here, ready to catch you as you fall, but it seems to me you feel less inclined to share. What stands in your way, baby girl? What keeps you from falling?  And then, just as the wind changes, with my arms outstretched and tired from the endurance of patience, you land ever so softly. As you get older, you have all the words, but for some reason your silence is the loudest. So for now, in this season, I will stand waiting, even annoyingly nudging you, because this is my calling. My roots are grounded deep so that I can sustain the impact. Saddened is my helping heart not be able to fix everything and make it all better, but blessed is my heart to hold the honor of being the constant s
