Verde Nacho Casserole Meal Recipe

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.
I have mentioned how busy life is.Whether you are married or not, have children or not, life is BUSY. Especially now that our kids are getting older. My two oldest take piano lessons, my oldest daughter takes dance and plays basketball and has physical therapy for her knee once a week. Not to mention the fact that we live 25 miles from town where all but the piano lessons take place. So we are on the go a lot. But I don't want my kids to miss out on activities just because we live far away from everything. Dinner on those nights is an easy meal like tacos or pizza. I have another quick and delicious meal to add to my arsenal: Verde Nacho Casserole.



I shared this photo on Instagram of the beginning stages of making this casserole. 



And once it came out of the oven, I couldn't wait to top it off and dig in!



The Kraft Recipe Makers in Verde Chicken Enchilada is what I used to make the Verde Nacho Casserole. See that bottle of Creamy Ranchero? It's the bomb dot com. It is creamy like ranch dressing, but with a spicy kick. I love it! So does my husband and that is crazy because we rarely like something at the same time. 
Make this tonight! You can find them in the pasta aisle.

Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken

I use my slow cooker all year round. I love it in the summer because it doesn't heat up my kitchen while cooking and I love it the rest of the year because it is such a time saver. My friend has 9 children with one on the way and she doesn't have a slow cooker. I cannot even grasp that concept. How does she survive without one?! 
Crazy, is what it is. 
Make this Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken today. It only takes 3-4 hours so you can start it later in the afternoon and be ready for dinner. Sometimes I forget to start a meal in my slow cooker in the morning and then it's too late because a lot of meals take longer to cook. Not this one. Winner, winner chicken dinner. I had to say it.


Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast or 12 chicken tenders
1/4 C. flour
1/4 C. butter
1 packet Italian Dressing mix, dry
1/2 C. fresh lemon juice or 1/4 C. concentrated lemon juice
1/2 C. chicken broth or 1/2 C. water plus 1 chicken bouillon cube

Directions
  • If using chicken breasts, cut into thirds lengthwise; coat chicken in flour.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet; cook half of the chicken on each side 3 minutes to brown. Don't cook through as they will cook in the slow cooker.
  • Remove chicken and place in the slow cooker; cook other half of the chicken in the remaining 2 Tbsp. butter.
  • Place chicken in slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle chicken with Italian Dressing mix, lemon juice and chicken broth. 
  • Cover with lid and cook on low 3-4 hours.
  • Serve over rice with juices.

There are not a lot of things better in this world than snuggling up with a blanket, a book and a mug of hot cocoa. I have the best blanket ever for just that. My new Minky Couture blanket is my new favorite thing. 



It is the softest thing you will ever touch. Right now we just have one, but each of my kids reaallly want one so they have added a Minky Couture blanket to their Christmas list. 

I received the Chevy Silver blanket in the Tween size and it's gorgeous. The tween size is the perfect lap blanket.


Those swirls are so pretty and soft! It sits on my couch where I can easily grab it to snuggle with. I love the silky edges.


Unless one of my children beats me to it.


Emma loves cuddling up to watch television. The first day we had it, my kids all wanted to use it so we had to set a time limit so they could rotate with it. No lie. 

So I think you should have your own, don't you? 


One of you will win your own Minky Couture tween sized blanket. You can choose if you want a girl or boy color and they will send you a surprise pattern.
