Cooked Out....

Starting with Tuesday night, I was just worn out - a long day at the job, then to the grocery store and errands, clean up the house, and finally - cook dinner... it was after 8 p.m. when I got the chance to make dinner....

So...

I made up a concoction that was inspired by a few more involved recipes... using ingredients I had in the house:

Shredded up the rotisserie chicken
1 can of drained/rinsed black beans
3 cups of Whole Foods Organic Frozen Brown Rice
1 bag of shredded Cheddar Jack cheese
1 container of refrigerator fresh chunky medium heat salsa
1 packet of Spicy Taco Seasoning

Preheated/cooked at 400 degrees in a small square 8X8 casserole dish

I mixed up the chicken, seasoning packet, beans, half the cheese, and all the salsa
Rice in the casserole dish first
Then topped it with the mixed ingredients
Topped the rest with the remaining cheese

Baked it for 40 minutes till it was very bubbly and the cheese was crisping

When served - we topped it with guacamole and sour cream

There were NO Leftovers

I am now craving that dish again.....

Yesterday I woke up feeling terrific... today - I feel even more wonderful!!!!!  No aches, No Pains, No complaints... energy level is high... mood is high.... and I owe it all to taking vitamins, eating lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, and having cut out sugar, starch, potatoes, and junk food...

Snacks have consisted of nuts and berries - I sound like a squirrel!!!
