Southwestern Stew

3 Potatoes peeled and cut into chunks

1 10oz pkg Frozen Sweet Corn

2 Carrotts, peeled and cut into chunks

1 Onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves of Garlic, minced

1 12.5oz Jar Salsa

1 can Green Enchilada Sauce

1 1/2 tsp Cumin

1 tsp Chili Powder

1/2 tsp Pepper

3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (can also use Frozen Chicken Breasts)

2 cans Chicken Broth

1 can Chili Beans

Place Chicken Breasts in Slow Cooker and add in all ingredients.  Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.  Before serving, remove Chicken from Crock Pot and shred with a fork.  Add back to Crock Pot and mix well.  You can also add 4 6inch tortillas cut into strips, or the crunchy tortilla strips sold in the salad topping section of your grocery store.

Topping ideas: cilantro, cheese, sliced avocado, pico de gallo, etc.

Tuna and Sauteed Veggies

I got this Recipe from a good friend of mine. 

Sautee mushrooms, frozen green beans, and chopped Red and Orange Peppers, and tomatoes in a non-stick skillet sprayed with non-stick spray. (Or veggies of your choice).  Once Veggies are done, add tuna. Cook a little longer until Tuna heated thoroughly.  Sprinkle lightly with cheese.  Super fast. Super Easy and Delicious.

*Can also use Canned Chicken Breast.

Cauliflower Pizza

*Steam fresh or frozen cauliflower until tender, but not mushy.  Drain and let cool.  Once the Cauliflower is cooled completely, use a cheese grater to grate the Cauliflower.  You will need 1 cup of grated Cauliflower (not packed). 

*Mix in 1/4 cup of EggBeaters, 1/2 tsp of Oregano, and 1/2 cup Low Moisture Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese to the grated Cauliflower.
(For a simpler, and much easier method, add heaping cup of steamed cauliflower, egg beaters, seasoning, and cheese to magic bullet and puree.) 

*Spread mixture onto a cookie sheet sprayed generously with a Non-Stick Spray into a 10"or so circle.  Bake in a Pre-heated oven at 440 degrees until top is brown. The edges will look slightly burnt.

*Remove crust from oven, and top with 3 tablespoons of no-sugar-added pizza sauce and 1/2 cup of Low Moisture Part Skim Mozzarella cheese.  Add additional toppings according to taste.  examples: turkey pepperoni, olives, peppers, mushrooms, onions, or diced tomatoes.

*Bake in oven until cheese is melted.
