Cilantro Chicken and Gratitude

Hello everyone!

So I have been bad about the Monday recipe plan, but I have also been a bit nuts with school. I have also not made many new and exciting recipes that were worth sharing. This recipe is certainly worth sharing! Technically, since I found it on Pinterest, it's already been shared. But here goes. (Credit http://www.pipandebby.com)

Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken

24 oz jar medium salsa (Pace Chunky Medium)
Juice from one lime
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1.25 oz package taco seasoning ( low sodium)
2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Mix together first 5 ingredients in crock pot. Add chicken and coat with mixture. Cook, covered, on low for 6 hours. Serve chicken with salsa mixture spooned over the top or shred and use as a taco filling.


***Changes***
I omitted the jalapenos and used chicken tenders instead of breast halves. I made some brown rice, and spooned the shredded chicken over the rice into flour tortillas. I shredded colby jack cheese on top.

Gratitude

I decided that for Lent, I would take on writing down something I'm grateful for every day. I'll try to blog them or Facebook them or something.
Today, I am grateful to my principal for letting me share what I learned at the Rice Ally training this weekend. It's a touchy subject but I hope I was able to help the way we teach tolerance for all kids, including GLBT youngin's (whether they know it yet or not).
I am also grateful for this weather, which has not been so terribly cold this winter. We have not had a hard freeze, and today I took a walk in the park and it was 86 degrees. I might be a little sunburned.

Since the above was written (Wednesday), I have the following things I've been grateful for:
Thursday-  The weather was gorgeous, so SexyLawyerMan and I went to the park again. I am slow but I am able to jog/walk two miles.
Friday- My transplant coordinator called to catch up on my case, and I was able to tell her that I'm still doing really well and that's why they have not heard from me in months.

Saturday-I have the luxury of staying in bed all day to read. I finished "The Hunger Games"in two sittings, one last night and one for about 7 hours today.
