Yay - that's more like it!!! 

Liz - the salsa chicken is one of my favorites. It's easy, low fat and delicious! It's cooked in the crockpot, which keeps the chicken super moist and tender. For those of you who have issues with chicken breast, TRY THIS! I guarantee you'll be able to eat it with no problems.

Crock Pot Salsa Chicken

2 lbs. frozen chicken breast (no skin or bone)
1 jar of your favorite salsa (16 oz)
1 8 oz. brick of fat free cream cheese
Cumin (to taste - maybe 2 - 3 teaspoons?)

Optional additions (I use all of them!)
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can yellow corn
1 small can diced green chilies

Put chicken breast in your crockpot. Top with all other ingredients EXCEPT cream cheese. Cook on low for 7 hours. Shred chicken with 2 forks and mix everything well. Top with cream cheese (just put the whole block right on top), cover and cook on low an additional 1 hour. Stir everything together and serve.

This is great plain, with rice, corn tortillas, or over salad. I usually just eat it plain. It also freezes very well, so I freeze leftovers in 2 cup containers and pull them out when I need quick lunches.

You can't go back and make a brand new start, but you can start from now and make a brand new end.

ooohhh.. I  love making chips out of Lavash bread. 

And I wish I could get 0% fage here.   All the stores stock here is the 2%.  boo hiss.

Oh that sucks!!!  Well it's not much better here...even though they do SELL the 0%, it is always sold out due to the new greek yogurt craze.  I liked it better when not that many people knew how awesome it is.  LOL  Now it's like a hot commodity around town!
