Easy lunch/next Food Network star winner/product review!
First of all, I want to say thanks for all your well wishes about my car accident! I appreciate everyone’s kindness! I do think all things happen for a reason, so I’m moving on!
The rest of my weekend was great. I got a lot of stuff done around the house, we got school supplies for school (I always loved school shopping and getting new supplies for school growing up!). Went to a great fruit market by my house and stocked up on great fruits and veggies, and spent some fun at the local pool!
One of my favorite things to do, is make something deluxe when my family thinks there is nothing to eat. That’s the lunch I made on Saturday. Super easy and quick, but it tasted fantastic. I’m calling it kind of a southwest chicken taco.
I took 2 frozen chicken breasts, seasoned them with salt, pepper, cumin, a little oregano, and chili powder. Cook until its no longer pink in the middle. Since my chicken breasts were frozen, it was about 12 minutes per side.
Then I let them rest for about 5 minutes before cutting into them.
After the chicken had rested, I just sliced it up. In the same skillet I cooked the chicken in, I sauteed 1/4 of a red onion for about 5 minutes.
Then I took 2 tortillas, about 1/4 cup of black beans (from a can, which I heated up separately in the microwave) 1/2 ounce of white american cheese and the red onions and topped it with some chili sauce.
If you like spicy chili sauce, this is one of my favorites!

Now onto a product review!
If you haven’t heard of these yet, you can find them in the fresh fruit and vegetable area of your local grocery store. I was lucky to receive 2 coupons to try these products out. My family all taste tested them and we all agreed they are very tasty, not to sweet, but very fresh tasting. One of the unusual aspects of this juice is that they have very small pieces of real fruit in them. I wasn’t expecting that at first, but after a few sips of tasting (and a little chewing) we all agreed we liked that combo!
Drinking one of these counts as 2 servings of fruit (hence the name of the product!) And its only 120 calories!

And finally, spoiler alert if you haven’t seen the finale of The Next Food Network Star…
Yeah Melissa!! I TOTALLY wanted her to win! I really like all her ideas and I think she is way more down to earth than Jeffrey was. I’m so happy for her!
