Made the BEST Dinner :D

I was totally craving Mexican food over the last few days, but didn't really want to do anything like ground beef/chicken/turkey since 1) we have it all the time, and 2) I was in the mood to actually cook something :-).  I have really been wanting to use the crock pot more, so I decided to make shredded chicken tacos.  Ok, so yeah - I know I can cook, and I don't often brag about it - HOWEVER - to be very blunt... these were fucking good LOL :-).  I found a simple recipe online and I modified it (of course) to more like my style of cooking.  It had minced garlic, cut up sweet onions, two kinds of taco seasoning, Rotel (chilis and tomatoes), and chicken breast tenderloins.  I also added some fresh lemon juice, ground black pepper, etc.  It came out so damn good.  I cooked it on high crock pot heat for four hours or so.  It was fantastic.  I served it with warm tortillas (hard and soft) and my friend Danny made this Velveeta/Rotel Queso dip as well as fresh guacamole.  Such a great dinner!  I was able to eat an entire taco... it only took over an hour to do it LOL :D  I also had four or so chips, two with queso, two with guacamole.  All in all it was super high in protein, low fat, and very tasty.  Danny and Adam loved it and we even sent some home to Danny's fiancee Luke.  I will definitely be making these again.  If anyone wants the recipe let me know and I'll send it your way :-).

Other than that, I also discovered a new obsession - pita chips with roasted garlic hummus O_O.  O M G delicious snack.  The problem is, it's not very high in protein so it isn't something I will eat all the time.  I wonder how gross mixing in protein powder (unflavored) with the hummus would be lol :).  I will have to try it sometime.

Everyday I'm able to eat more and more different kinds of food than I could the day before.  OH!  I also found sugar free Hershey's Syrup today :D  WOOT!  Good addition to my yummy protein shakes from Fit Frappe :-).  I want to try a warm Vanilla Latte protein shake with some of the syrup and a dollop of sugar free Cool Whip - that just sounds fantastic :D!

Have a great and yummy week all!
