Batching - 2

Batch cooking continued after I left you.  AND I realized I forgot to show you last night's dinner.

Fajita Chicken Salad

Bed of lettuce, Spanish onions and fresh tomatoes
Top with 1/2 cup of 1% cottage cheese
Add 4 oz chicken breast (cooked in salsa spices and shallots)
Add a dollop of salsa and 3 Tbsp grated cheddar.

This was very filling but more importantly, SATISFYING.  So good.  Try it, you'll love it!


I made up a large batch of "Cream" of Carrot Soup as well.  Pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to turn carrots into a creamy, light and delightful soup.  And could not be easier.  Really, I winged it.  But winged it successfully!

"Cream" of Carrot Soup

6 cups water
1 large bag of baby carrots
Boil, boil, boil.  Don't be shy.  Boil down until only 2 cups of water are left (approximately).

Add:
4 cups of chicken or vegetable bouillon
Mix

Scoop out contents a little at a time and blend.  It should be well blended with only a few pieces of carrots interspersed. 

Add:
Garlic and/or garlic powder to taste
1/4 tsp paprika
1 cup Coconut Dream milk (this is what makes it creamy and delicious!)

Mix thoroughly and enjoy.  This made approximately 5 servings and I can't wait to eat each and every one of them!  DELISH!

I topped it off with a pinch of lemon dilly seasoning and orange zest to "pretty it up".
Bonus: The entire pot is only 1.2 points! LOVE it!

In a fit of despair...(where is it? why can't I find it? I know I have it...) I also took on the dreaded top freezer.  I mean SERIOUSLY!  Why can't my family keep it clean and organized (they apparently have NOT inherited this gene)?  So we went from this:
Can't find ANYTHING!!!
 
To this:
Not perfect but I can breathe.  Check out smoothie grand central in the door, lol.  Much easier to manage.  Have a fabulous day and be safe out there!
