What Are We Having for Dinner, Mom??

If you're anything like me, you probably field this question at least once per day, "what are we going to have for dinner tonight"? The dreaded question, right?? Anyway, I am going out to dinner with a girlfriend tonight, so the hubs/kids are getting chicken tortilla soup from the crockpot. I never had such affection for my crockpot until I had kids, and I certainly do not use it enough! In the time that my kids just finished their lunch, dinner is prepped! I cook a lot, so I always love quick and easy recipes...this is one of them! Thanks to Kathy for giving me this recipe several year ago...

Chicken Tortilla Soup

4 cups chicken broth (2 cans)
1 bag frozen corn
shredded chicken (rotisserie works great or boil and shred)
8 oz. cream cheese
1 jar picante sauce
1 can diced tomoatoes
1 bag success rice (cook before putting in crockpot)

Put all ingredients into a crockpot and let it heat through for a few hours. If it starts to boil, turn to low or warm. Top with your favorite goodies!

Garnish I like to use:
sour cream
shredded cheese
tortilla chips or strips
green onion

While I am at it, tomorrow night I am going to try a new recipe: Thai Chicken Pizzas

Thai Chicken Pizzas (Betty Crocker)

6 flour tortillas (8 to 10 inches)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 cups shredded mozzarella
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 bag (16 oz) frozen stir fry veggies, thawed and drained

Heat oven to 400. Place tortillas on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, or until crisp. Mix peanute butter, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar and spread over tortillas. Top each with 1/4 cup of cheese. Spread chicken and veggies evenly over tortillas. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes or until pizzas are heated through and the cheese is melted.

Sounds good-we'll see how it goes!!
