Favorites Recipes

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm here to share a few of my favorite recipes with you and a bonus is they are all pretty fast and easy to make!

White Chicken Chili

2 cups shredded chicken ( I just shred a Costco rotisserie chicken)

1/2 medium onion, chopped

2 tblsp. oil

1-2 tsp minced garlic

2 cans of great northern beans, drained and rinsed

1 can chicken broth

1 small can chopped green chiles

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1 cup sour cream or greek yogurt

1/2 cup whipping cream

Add oil to stock pot and cook onions, garlic, and chicken. (This is why I love the Costco rotisserie chickens, because you don't have to wait for it to cook)

Add beans, broth and seasonings and bring to a boil.

Simmer for 30 min.

Add sour cream and whipping cream.

Salmon Tacos

2 lbs salmon fillet

Salt & Pepper

Cumin

1 3/4 cup mayo or greek yogurt

2 tblsp water

2 tblsp vinegar

1 seeded jalapeno

1 tsp minced garlic

1/2 cup cilantro

Salt & Pepper

2 Limes

Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper

Shredded cabbage

white corn tortillas

fresh salsa or pico de gallo

Sprinkle salmon with salt, pepper, and cumin and bake at 375 for 17 minutes (or until fish flakes easily with a fork) I always watch fish closely, because you don't want to over cook it!

Combine the second set of ingredients in a blender to make your sauce.

After you remove your fish from the oven, squeeze 1 of your limes over the top.

Squeeze the other lime over the top of the cabbage and toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Now just assemble your tacos and enjoy!

Turkey Meatloaf with Sweet & Sour Sauce

2/3 cup bread crumbs

1 cup milk

2 lbs ground turkey

2 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

6 tblsp brown sugar

1/2 cup ketchup

2 tsp dijon mustard

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine first 7 ingredients and press into a greased loaf pan.

Combine last 3 ingredients in a small bowl and spread over top of meatloaf.

Bake for 1 1/2 hours.

Delicious!

20 Weeks

I will be 20 weeks with baby #2 in just a couple of days. Baby boy #2 that is! Half way! I'm finally getting around to taking a picture of myself and writing down a little bit about this pregnancy. It's definitely been different this time around both emotionally and physically. Of course I have another child to attend to so I can't nap whenever I want, I felt more sick this time around and it lasted longer, and worst of all for me is the teenage acne I've developed. I don't intend for this to be a sob story, but I've never been the girl that everyone says "You're so pretty" to and I've never been the skinny girl. But I have always had really great skin. To be honest, most of my confidence in my outward appearance is because I have my mom's skinny legs and I have clear skin and a natural tan. Well these days I literally cringe when I look in the mirror. I've NEVER had acne. I've always had the occasional breakout tha...

Another Week, Another Hike

My aunt, mom, and I headed up Holbrook Canyon last Saturday to take in more of Fall's goodness. This canyon is just above the Bountiful, Utah Temple. The last time I hiked it was ages ago, so I forgot about how long of a hike it is. I looked up the mileage online which said 8 miles up and back. Well I don't know if that's accurate or what because after we had gone what I swear was 4-5 miles, we still weren't to the top and had to turn around so we could make it back before dark. A lot of the trail is uphill and it's not a really easy hike, so maybe we were just making slower time and didn't go as far as I thought, but maybe next time we'll actually make it to the top. Even though we didn't make it, it was still worth the beautiful scenery. As we got toward the bottom as the sun was practically gone, the canyon was glowing from all the brilliant colored leaves. It was seriously magical, as cheesy as that sounds. It's a shaded hike, almos...
