We had leftover chicken and beans from burritos the other day and I decided to make nachos with them. This might have been the easiest lunch ever and my kids devoured it. Both of them asked for seconds and declared it delicious.

Tangy chicken salad, wrapped inside a homemade tortilla stuffed with lettuce. With fruit on the side, this was a delicious and simple lunch for an absurdly warm summer day. I initially wanted to make a Cashew Chicken Salad. However, I was fresh out of grapes and didn’t have cashews in the house. So, I worked with what I did have and I’m happy with the result.

After almost two years now, this has become one of our favorite chicken marinades. Originally created from an abundance of lemons and limes on hand, I just added some oil and spices and went with it. We loved it. Allowing the chicken to rest for 24 hours prior to cooking really helped the flavor penetrate all the way through the meat. After meals like this one, I am once again happy to live in the southwest. It’s always nice to be able to...
Chicken, chiles, beans, tomatoes and Mexican spices combine to make one of our favorite soups. This soup is full of great flavors with a good bit of heat from the green chile and spices. This soup is easily made on the stove-top or in the crock-pot. I’ve included directions for both methods. FREEZER MEAL: This soup freezes well. It is a frequent lunch request from my husband and my oldest son. I portion the soup into two cup...
Tender chicken breasts wrapped around Monterrey jack cheese, Black Forest ham and spicy green chile to create a fun new (and easy!) twist on cordon bleu. Everyone in my family enjoyed this and I am sure I will be making it again. I wrapped one without the chile for my middle son and he liked his just as well.

It’s been a cold and rainy past few days here in Arizona. I came back from a weekend out of town and I wanted nothing more than a warm pot of soup for dinner. However, I wasn’t really in the mood to cook anything at all complicated. This soup is the opposite of complicated. In the interest of truly making this simple, I picked up a rotisserie chicken while I was at the store this morning. I also used caramelized onions that were...
Sweet oranges, roasted chicken and toasted almonds along with crispy cucumbers, lettuce and cabbage are tossed in a ginger sesame dressing. The combination of flavors and textures was a treat and even my boys devoured this salad. Admittedly, their favorite part was the oranges, but who could blame them?

Fresh vegetables and chicken, quickly cooked in a hot stir fry is one of my favorite meals to make and serve. This dish is a fun twist on the usual Asian or Mexican flavors that I would typically think of for skillet meals. I added corn as a base for this stir fry, because I had fresh corn waiting to be used. If you don’t have corn, simply serve it over rice and enjoy it that way. My kids enjoyed this meal with the corn and over rice. My...
Chicken, black beans and cheese covered in enchilada sauce and then layered with Spanish rice and soft tortillas. Topped with plenty of cheese, this was a richly flavored dish full of Southwestern flavors. Inspired by one of my family’s favorite meals, Mexican Lasagna, this is a great way to use leftover chicken. If you don’t have leftover chicken, a rotisserie chicken would work great in this recipe. My kids came close to...
Chicken, white beans, corn and green chile in a warm cream based soup was the perfect meal for a weekend camping trip into cooler weather. I made this soup at home and reheated it for lunch when we were ready to eat it. I couldn’t resist a small bowl straight out of the slow cooker though. This soup is a great combination of spicy flavors. This recipe is adapted from the Creamy White Chicken Chili that has become a family favorite...
