Looking For A Quick And Easy Dinner? Tostadas

Quick, easy, and good... Tostadas are not only good to eat they're fun to make. Once you have everything prepped, everyone can load their tostada up to their own tastes. They're a big hit at our house for the young and old(er).

With all the pre-prepped food that is available at the market these days if you are in a real hurry you can purchase already fried corn tortillas - onions - tomato - peppers - lettuce - cheese - etc... Personally I like the prep work - it doesn't take too long to do and it keeps your knife skills up!

In the video recipe below you will see we used:

*Fried corn tortillas
Refried beans
Shredded Mexican blend cheese
Tomatoes
Red onions
Shredded lettuce
Hot sauce

It really couldn't be much easier...

* If you don't want fried corn tortillas or are looking for a healthy alternative, try baking up some Tumaro's tortillas in the oven until stiff and using them. They're the best tortillas I've ever used and they come in a variety of interesting flavors. http://www.tumaros.com/

Green Chicken Curry - Again...

You might be asking yourself, why green curry again? The answer is quite simple - I love it!

Now I prefer fresh green curry when I have the time to make it, but when that's not the case the CurrySimple green curry is a really easy alternative. At the market you can find pre-diced just about anything you need to make this dish. The chicken, cilantro, and the lime are the only things you really need to cut yourself if you want it that way. When I need a quick meal that's not from a fast food place - I'm all good with using pre-cut items to speed up dinner...

1 pound chicken tenders (or any type of chicken you like
1 medium red onion diced
1 cup bell pepper (green, yellow, and red) diced
1 cup squash and zucchini sliced
1 package CurrySimple green curry
1 lime
cilantro

Brown chicken in a spot of oil. Half way through add the onion. Cook until the chicken is done. Add the bell peppers, squash, and zucchini - cook for a few minutes. Add the CurrySimple green curry and bring to heat. Serve with rice, cilantro, and a nice squeeze of lime... Eat & Enjoy...

Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup

When you have someone who is not feeling well chicken noodle soup is the best thing to make for them. This is my almost homemade chicken noodle soup. It's almost homemade because I went to the store and bought a roasted chicken and used canned stock. Even with that it turned out really good...




1 roasted chicken - meat taken off the bone
2 large cans chicken stock
1/2 red onion diced
1 cup carrots diced
1 cup celery diced
1 bag of egg noodles (I used about 2/3 of a bag)
salt
pepper
a dash of love

prep the veg and put them into a stock pot heated to medium high. Add a few good pinches of salt and sweat for about 5 minutes. Remove all the chicken meat from the bones and add the meat to the pot once the veg is done. Add your stock, and egg noodles and bring to a boil. Once the egg noodles are cooked to your liking the dish is done. Eat & Enjoy...

Bon Appetit...
