I'd post a comfort food for those cold winter nights... Easy Potato Chowder. 
Easy AND yummy!


3 cups skim milk
1 can (10 oz) condensed cream of potato soup
2 cups frozen hashbrowns (cubes)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup green onions, sliced

-Mix milk and soup in large saucepan.  Stir
in hashbrowns.  Bring to boil.  Reduce heat to
medium-low; simmer 10 minutes.  Ladle soup into
bowl (or bread bowl) and sprinkle
cheese, bacon, and onions on top.

Green Chile Goodness



Okay Lara Here, The youngest of the sisters.   Well I am not one that follows recipes or anything so my directions are going to be a like a pinch of this, a dab of that... i'll try and clarify more... but we'll see how it works out. OH and my meals usually make for 2... so make more or less or which ever.

Okay so I'm trying to eat as healthy as I can so here is what this meal needs:

Spinach
an avacado
3 roma tomatoes
1 onion
garlic powder
lime juice
Splenda or sugar
Chicken tenderloins
Chicken bullion cubes
shredded cheese
Salad Dressing
2 cans of Green Chiles diced
a pepper of choice
green verde salsa
Black beans


OKay to start off i make the salsa.  I dice the three tomatoes, the pepper and about 1/4 cup of onions. mix it all together in a bowl and then sprinkle maybe a tablespoon or two of splenda, a teaspoon of lime juice and then a little dash of Garlic powder (or use real garlic) also i think some some Cilantro would be good but.. i didnt have any.

OKay in a sauce pot i opened two cans of the green chile, put in 2 chicken bulion cubes, and about a cup of water. let it start to simmer.  add about 1/4 cup of chopped onions and about 2 table spoons of splenda/sugar and add a dash of galic

Grill the chicken (5 tenderloins) and then cut up cooked chicken throw in the green chile mix put at a simmer and ad a little bit more water.

Okay on a plate, put spinach on with black beans.  put some pieces of cut avocado mixed in and then  go back to the chicken and it should be mixed with onions tender.  Add the Chicken on top of the beans on the salad then add the salsa topped with a little shredded cheese and then i chose to put a little ranch on top with more lime.   Ad the Salsa Verde to as you choose.

It was Wonderful!!! mmm mm mmmmm
