This menu of the week consist of some super easy meals. Shrimp tacos didn't happen on Sunday, instead we ate out with friends. Pot Pies and rice on Monday? I know, crazy right!? Monday was a holiday so our "Monday" was on Tuesday which is why Tuesday we had our traditional salmon meal.
The Chicken Tacos with refried beans are a super easy crock pot meal. I take a couple frozen chicken breasts (3-4 depending on how much leftovers I want) and put it in a crockpot set to low. I top with one packet of taco seasoning and a medium size jar of salsa. That's it. I put the lid on and let it cook all day while I'm at work. after 8 hours you can easily shred the chicken in the crockpot with two forks. You just really have to stir the mixture and the meat shreds. I warm up tortillas and refried black beans. Shred some cheddar cheese and set out some chips. Boom! Dinner.
The Sweet and Spicy Peanut Shrimp and Noodles was not great. I would not recommend this recipe. The flavor was flat despite the bold ingredient list. I tried to doctor it up as I went but ultimately liked eating the shrimp but didn't like the peanut butter flavor at all.
We were able to stick to our two salads and a fish rule this week. I also made a big bowl of Chicken Salad for lunches that turned out awesome. I started with a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and hand shredded the breasts. To that I added mayo, fresh chopped tarragon, fresh chopped dill, diced celery, split green grapes, grainy mustard, salt and pepper.
