Chicken Tacos

Tonight I tried a new recipe for chicken tacos.  I get People magazine and they always have a recipe or two from different celebrities.  I usually don't think they sound like something we'd like but in the last one, Sheryl Crow used a recipe from her new cookbook for chicken tacos.  They sounded yummy so I gave it a try.  They were delicious!  Here's the recipe:

1 1/2 c. chicken stock

1 1/2 c. mild salsa

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Shells (we used soft)

Shredded Cheddar

2 c. shredded lettuce

In a sauce pan, combine the chicken stock and the salsa.  Bring to a boil.  Add the chicken, cover and simmer on low heat for 1 1/2 hrs.  Remove chicken from pan, reserving some liquid, shred chicken with two forks.  Pour reserved liquid over chicken to keep it moist (you don't need much because it's very moist already).  Create your tacos!  This is definitely a recipe I'll use over and over!!!

Sleepy

Today was nice but felt incredibly long!  Lauryn and I were up most of the night last night and even though I did fall asleep for a little while on the couch while she was taking a nap, I still felt whooped most of the day.  I vacuumed, did the dishes and made dinner...that's about it!  I used some of the roast I made for dinner yesterday to make shredded beef tacos.  I just added some garlic and some cumin and they were really good!  I made Mexican rice and of course, guacamole to go with it.  It's been a few hours but I think I'm still stuffed.

I should really head to bed.  Wish me luck that me and my sweet pea get a good nights sleep!

Just Waiting

Today we're getting new doors put in on the front of the house and in the kitchen (that goes out to the back porch).  Now I'm just waiting for the guy to come and install it.

No big plans for today.  The house is pretty clean, no one is coming over and I just have to run to the bank and the store.

Making tacos and guacamole for dinner tonight :)
