tasty tuesday's

i've got another good one for you...

man, oh man, is pinterest making cooking fun for me again!

i have found tons of new recipes to try and can't wait to share every single one of them with y'all! :)

but let's take this one day at a time, shall we?

for today i have a delicious, easy, cheap, healthy(ish)

slow cooker recipe.

my fave.

seriously, who's not going to love delicious, easy, cheap, healthy(ish) AND barely any cleanup or work. who?!

no one. that's who.

i found this recipe via pinterest, but it originally came from a wonderful lady named Mel, over at her blog,

thelarsonlingo.blogspot.com.

follow along with her 

(she has pictures),

 follow along with me 

(i made a few changes that i liked better + i'm hilar.),

 either way...try this recipe!

so here you have it.

Crock-pot Salsa Chicken

what you need:

- frozen chicken pieces, i used 4 thighs w/bone and skin because i think it's yummier than chicken breast

- 4oz cream cheese (1/2 a block)

- can of black beans, drained and rinsed

- 1/2 jar of salsa, or whatever you have on hand, like rotel or corn salsa...something tomato-ey with a kick!

- corn, i used frozen because the cans have gluten in them but you could use a can...she did!

what you do:

dump the chicken in

then dump in the cream cheese

next the beans, salsa, and corn

cook on low for six hours, stirring it occasionally.

it will be kind of soupy at first, but if you let it sit for about half an hour before you're ready to eat it, that helps.

we ate it with rice (recommended by mel) and that definitely helped soak up the juiciness.

i also typed all of these ingredients into my 

myfitnesspal.com recipe maker and came up with these stats.

yours may vary some depending on ingredients you used and brands and all that, but this is just a good ballpark for you!

calories 246 

(per serving, not including rice)

carbs 21 

(all those yummy black beans!)

protein 13g

pretty good, right?!

alrighty, that was it!

see...i told you it was delicious, easy, cheap, and healthy(ish)!

now go make this for dinner...you won't regret it! :)
