    Honey Balsamic Chicken Stir-Fry

      Tonight’s dinner took 10 minutes start to finish.  1-2 minutes to chop chicken and veggies (we grill a bunch of chicken on Sunday for meal prep during the week).  7 minutes to cook it all in the skillet.  1 minute to plate and serve!   ***Cauliflower rice is such a healthy alternative especially if you’re gluten free or following a low carb plan.  You can’t even tell the difference!  My husband loved it and he doesn’t eat cauliflower!   For the Stir Fry:  2 c chopped chicken (grilled it yesterday- we use it for meal prep!) 1 pkg frozen riced cauliflower  1 large red bell pepper- diced 2 c…

    Chicken, Bean, and Veggie Stew

    I love a soupy stew on a cold snowy day!  This is a perfect snow-day stew.  My girls, outside playing in the snow, little feets getting froze, little noses turning from pink to red, cheeks all sorts of rosy, and mittens getting soggy.  Kids barging in through the back door demanding warmth and shuffling off their clothes and crawling under warm blankets on the couch.  “Mooooommmmm!  Can we have some soup and some hot chocolate?”    You betcha.   Ingredients:  3 large chicken breasts, thawed and diced 3 ribs celery, diced 1/2 cup baby carrots, shredded 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained 1…
