Yesterday, I made a slow cooker Chicken Quinoa Enchilada meal. I first cooked chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, then removed, drained, and set aside to cool before shredding.

A cup of quinoa, four cups of water, a can of enchilada sauce, can of diced green chiles, can of black beans, I waited until everything was almost done before adding the beans, chili powder and cumin, corn and salt/pepper. When it became too thick, I thinned it a bit with chicken stock. Once in a bowl, I covered it with cheese and zapped it in the microwave until melted. It was then topped with avocado, red onion, diced tomato, and fresh cilantro with a dollop of sour cream. Perfect for cool weather which it was yesterday, so easy, healthy, economical and tasty.

Definitely Fall weather now, so nice.

@Pooky1 I use Knudsen's Lite, has a better flavor to me. I get it re againg and things changing, taste and smell at the top of the list, and more. I am sensitive to odors/scents that I wouldn't have been when I was young.

Avocado Pooky1 - how can anyone NOT eat avocado. My daughter's husband (I miss that macho lovable railroader) had many avocado trees when he lived here in Ca and my parents and I would drive up to where he was and he would fill up the old big grocery bags full for all of us. I drove by his old house yesterday and the trees are still there. One day I will stop and talk to whomever lives there now. I miss him - and the avocados so very much - he died at 49 and my daughter died at 35. Just not right. THey moved to Kansas as the railroad - Santa Fe - shut down out here. So he had a choice quit or go to Kansas. He was devastated but he went. The home he livd in was his grandfather Emanual's. Pappy, the grandfather, adopted DAvid as a child and raised him. He too was a sweetheart. By the way Pappy was also a railroader. Figures does it not?

This is getting to be a habit but I had a great grilled cheese sandwich with Cole slaw for a late lunch - the slaw was made as usual but the different thing was small bits of apple and pineapple - never would have dreamed of such a thing but it was yummy. Davey has asked for a frozen dinner. LOL. Well tomorrow for sure as the two little ones will be back home, good food will abound. I went to Foods 4 Less couple days ago and got four huge boneless chuck roasts - they are soooo good. So will have that OR spaghetti tomorrow. Either will work.

Hope all had a great day

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

Hi All ----- not much cooking going on in this house.

A few years ago I was thrown from my horse and seriously injured my ankle/

shin. Since then it has acted up periodically and leaves me immobile. A few days ago my shin swelled to about 3 times its normal size so here I lie.

I'm being fed rotisserie chicken and wonton soup but today I felt like doing something for myself. Warning---the sound of it may make you ill but it was really not bad. The goal was to do something fast.

I browned some ground beef, added a packet of onion soup mix, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, water, catsup and mustard. Mixed in a can of B&M baked beans and shredded cheddar and put an individual cup of Minute Rice in the micro. Would I make it again ? Probably not but, under the circumstances, it was okay.

Boy, @Pooky1, the prices at Dockside are awesome. I looked at their flyer on line and was very surprised. When I stock the Westerly fridge next spring, I think I'll go there.

@mousiegirl, the Mexican dish you made sounded outrageous. Made me hungry just reading about it. I am going to make some split pea soup as soon as I can get around. Since I don't have a slow cooker, it requires getting up and down to tend to it.

@Winifred, pot roast with carrots, onions, brown potatoes and gravy has to be one of my top 5 favorites. And always with a chuck roast ! Life without avacado and lemons would not be easy......

@Danky We ate the leftovers tonight, tasted even better. If you like it spicy, as I do, Sriracha works perfectly.

@mousiegirl-------speaking of leftovers........I woke up around 3:30 a.m. and my ankle was throbbing. In order to take Advil I had to eat something so what better than my leftover concoction ? The answer is "ANYTHING

would have been better !" It was palatable when just made but it did not improve with age. For the last 4 hours I've been on the edge of hugging the toilet bowl.

Sorry to be so graphic...Happy Sunday everyone.
