March of Dimes

Hey everyone don't forget about the March of Dimes that I am doing. If you want to walk with me and join my team let me know and I can get you set up. And no worries it will not take all of your time. I really want to do something good for the women around the world that have struggled to pay for the care of their children. I could not imagine how it would be like if something like that happened to Tayson. I am 100% for this cause and I would really appreciate all of your support. Love you all. If you can please check out my web page to learn more about it that would be so great. You can click on the widget that is on the right side column.

Chicken Tacos

Well this is a really easy recipe. All I do is cut up some chicken cook it and use the McCormicks taco seasoning. After that we just put lettuce, cheese, tomatoes (not me I don't like tomatoes), sour cream, and salsa. It is SO good and it is easy to make. I get a big thing of the Taco Seasoning at Costco. That is the place to be.

Mustard Sauce Chicken Salad


First I cook the chicken and mustard sauce separately. After the chicken is cooked I mix the sauce and the chicken in the pan and cover for 5 min. Then it is ready to go. You could really put it with any type of lettuce. I used iceberg lettuce and then I put fat free croutons and cranberries on top. Don't be fooled the mustard sauce is very sweet tasting. This is a great healthy meal!
Mustard Sauce
¼ cup butter
2 Tbsp. flour - heaping
½ cup mustard
½ cup vinegar
1 ½ cup sugar
1 cup chicken broth

-Melt butter and then add the flour to make a rough
-Stir in remaining ingredients 
-Cook for 10 minutes stirring constantly.

I also eat this sauce with Ham on Thanksgiving.

If you are unable to then come walk with me it will be fun. There are a lot of ways you can help.
