Three EASY meals: by Kimberly

So, I was looking on my friend Claire's blog the other day and made one of her recipes. She's so creative at everything and a really good cook and we've given her some shout outs before for her good recipes!
However, first I made too much chicken taco meat (located on our blog) and ended up having 3 meals made easy!

FIRST:
I made chicken tacos: I used 10 chicken breast, 2 cans of chicken broth and 2 packs of taco seasoning. Cook in the crockpot all day on low. Then shred it while in the crockpot. The leftover chicken, I made into the next two meals after I used it for the tacos:

SECOND meal:
Mexican Skillet Delicioso (recipe on our blog)

THIRD meal:
Tortilla Soup
Shredded Chicken (2-3 cups)
Can of nacho cheese
Can of Cheddar Cheese
Can of Cream of Chicken Soup
Jar of Salsa
Jar of water (used Salsa jar)
Can of enchilada sauce

Served them all with tortilla chips and fixings! So delicious and really only one day of 'real' cooking - only because I usually think the meat is the hardest!!
Hope this helps someone have an easy week of dinners.

Pepper Penne by Ashley

Oh My!!  We had this tonight for dinner.  All of the boys ate it, including Gray who is 1 and Sam who usually only eats the bread for dinner.  I loved it and it was so easy!  Enjoy!!!   Ingredients:   1 package of penne pasta (I used whole grain) 1/2 t. rosemary 2 packages of sliced pepperoni , halved ( I used 1 package and it seemed to be plenty) 1/4 c. pepperocini (omit if too spicy for kids, but it wasn't really spicy with it.  I will probably use more than 1/4 next time) 1 jar roasted red bell pepper, drained and chopped 3 1/2 c. boiling water 1/2 c. whipping cream (I used milk) 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese   Directions:   In a large pot, layer pasta, rosemary, pepperoni, pepperocini, and roasted red pepper.   Add water and bring to a boil.   Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer until pasta is tender.   Add cream and cheese.  Toss to coat.

So here ya go: Green Onions 2 8oz. blocks of cream cheese 2 cans chili with beans Shredded Cheddar Cheese Mix together cream cheese and chili with beans. Pour in the bottom of 9x13 dish. Generously sprinkle cheese on top. Add chopped green onions onto cheese. Put in oven on 350 until cheese is melted. Serve with chips of your choice.

Simple Cole Slaw by Ashley

I love coleslaw, all different kinds, but I have never made it before. A girl that I don't know has a recipe blog that I go to often and I got this recipe from her. I loved that it said "simple". Simple I can do. *my Dad loves coleslaw as well, but is kind of a coleslaw snob and he really liked it. *i served it with homemade sloppy joes and tater tots :) Ingredients: 1/3 cup canola-based mayonnaise ( I am sure you can use any kind of mayo, but this is better for you.) 1 and 1/2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 3 cups packaged cabbage and carrot coleslaw Directions: Combine mayo, sugar, pepper, salt, and dry mustard with a whisk. Add coleslaw and toss.
