Cooking for Two: (The easy, nothing fancy way)

Cooking for two and not having leftovers can be hard. Sometimes there is too much left over and you’re eating it for the whole week and it can get very BORING. Some tips that I have to for you is to use websites such as Allrecipes.com where you can adjust the amount of servings you would like to come out of a dish. For my husband and I would do 3 servings so I know that my hard workin’ man gets enough to eat at the end of his day.
One of my favorite recipes is making CHICKEN TACOS so easy and using my slow cooker allows me to do whatever I want while it is cooking.
            Chicken Tacos:
                        2 Chicken Breast
                        1 Jar of Salsa Verde
                        5 Tortillas
                        Whatever toppings you like
            All you have to do is dump the chicken breast in slow cooker with the whole jar of salsa verde and put it on low until you can pull apart the chicken with a fork about 4-6 hours depending on whether or not you have frozen or thawed chicken.  Then your DONE! Soooo YUMMY.
            This is a great recipes for making other things:
            Enchiladas, all you do when the chicken is cooked, roll that into tortillas with some Mexican cheese mix in a casserole dish and cover with red or green enchilada sauce and bake on 350 until everything is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
Taco salad by adding black beans, corn, tomato, sour cream, cheese, hot sauce and chips for some crunch.
