Week 9/ Week 10 :: Meal Time -- Chicken Nachos


Meal Time:

Okay I don't know about you, but I seriously hate moving food from one house to another...so I haven't been grocery shopping in like 3 weeks besides getting milk, eggs, cheese, bread...the essentials. So from what we could scrounge up here are the meals we threw together:
Cheesy Chicken Nachos, Pizza and salad, home made mac and cheese.

Cheesy Chicken Nachos
Tortilla chips
1/2 Chicken breast (shredded)
1/4 Cup Canned corn 
1/3 Cup Black beans (more or less as desired) 
Cheese. The amount depends on how much you like cheese. 
I like cheese a lot. Three cups.  haha. (i love my husband)
2-3 Tbsp. Salsa 
Dollop of Sour cream (not pictured)
Spoonful of Guacamole (not pictured)
Lettuce (optional-we were out so it was a no go) 

Spread chips over a plate. Place chicken and canned items on the chips. Cover with cheese. Microwave  until cheese is melted. Add remaining cold ingredients. Enjoy!





Frozen Pizza and Salad
(hey I never said that I am a chef, I just said I would give meal suggestions haha. I think it's okay to take some nights off from cooking!) 
1 Frozen Pizza
1 bag of lettuce
salad toppings
suggested topping: dressing, wonton strips, dried cranberries, croutons, carrots, almonds, cabbage etc.) 



Homemade Macaroni and Cheese
2 Cups pasta (elbow macaroni or shells or any type really)
12 oz (3/4 lb.) Velveeta Pasteurized Cheese (cut into half inch cubes)
1/3 Cup Milk
1/8 Tsp. pepper 

Cook pasta in a large saucepan as directed on package; drain well. Return to pan. Add in remaining ingredients; cook on low heat until Velveeta cheese is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Stirring frequently. Makes 4 one cup servings. 



Serve with garlic bread and a vegetable. (yes served on paper plates! Moving is such a drag. haha)


PB & J!!!! haha

Once again the charming moving food. This is what we ate for dinner the first night we moved in.
