Mexican Baked Chicken

October 20, 2010 | Uncategorized

 

     Afternoon! Today has been a whirlwind! Bobby and I ran 3 easy miles this morning then went to the chiropractor and then cleaned out more of his dad’s house for two hours. Don’t I look excited to be doing more cleaning?

Then we came home and had a late lunch and Bobby is off again to run some errands and I have to go back to the chiropractor in a bit and then I have a coffee date with a fellow teacher from the school I taught at for two years.

So, in light of the crazy busy days I have been having, I thought I would share a quick and easy recipe that is yummy!

Mexican Baked Chicken

-2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

-1 can low sodium cream of chicken soup

-1 can rotel (I use mild)

-shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese

-multigrain tortilla chips

*Preheat oven to 350

*place chicken in casserole dish

*mix soup and rotel together and pour over chicken

*tops with crushed chips and cheese

*bake 30-40 minutes or until juices run clear

I forgot to take a picture until after I had already taken my piece out. oops.

    Yum!!! I do a very similiar dish but it’s chicken spagetti and the only different really is adding 1 can of cream of mushroom as well, whole wheat spagetti, and I used low fat velveeta cheese last time. Oh and dicing the chicken into chunks. I snuck in broccoli last time too. lol. I love the cheesy goodness!!

    A microwaved sweet potato topped with chickpeas is one of my fast favorites. Ahhh, 48 hours until the big move is crazy! Good luck. I’ve moved almost every year since I Was 18. I detest moving!

☀️ Cabin mornings, lakeside afternoons, and a ☀️ Cabin mornings, lakeside afternoons, and a little bit of learning in between… that’s our kind of summer!

I partnered with IXL to help keep Emma Kate’s brain just as active as her body this season — and the IXL Ultimate Summer Workbooks have been a total win. Each one includes fun, colorful activities across math, language arts, science, and social studies, and it only takes 2 pages a day to stay on track. ✏️📚

What makes them even better? You also get access to IXL’s online learning platform, with bonus practice, personalized growth plans, and instant feedback to keep kids motivated — whether you’re at home or on the go. 🙌

No long, boring lessons… just engaging learning that fits into real life.

I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just o I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just okay.” Like, fine in a pinch… but never something I craved. 👀

But then this little picnic happened—just me, my girl, and a sweet treat we both loved enough to fight over the last bite. 😅

We’ve been trying to be more mindful with food choices lately (especially with summer travel coming up), and I grabbed these So Delicious treats at Kroger kind of on a whim. The new packaging caught my eye, but it was the taste that totally surprised us. Creamy. Indulgent. No weird aftertaste. And no, we’re not fully dairy-free—and we still loved them.

It’s one of those little swaps that doesn’t feel like giving anything up.

And that? That’s a win for both of us. ✨@So_Delicious

🚨 Homeschool decision!! If you have been aroun 🚨 Homeschool decision!!

If you have been around here since Christmas time, then you know we pulled Emma Kate out of her private school after the first semester and put her in a hybrid homeschool for the spring. The main reason being we wanted more absences than the school allowed. 

What is a hybrid? In our case, she went to a school all day 3 days a week, and we taught her at home two days a week. 

It seemed like the best of both worlds, not having absences count since we were also her teachers, being able to stay home some, sleep in, and travel. 

Well, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. For one, the school we sent her to ended up not being what we thought. We were told being absent wouldn’t be a problem, but it became clear very early on her teacher was not a fan and she was not kind or accommodating to Emma Kate. There’s a lot of other reasons we didn’t blown the school I won’t go into. (If you are local and considering hybrid feel free to dm me and I will share my concerns and grievances.)

Teaching your kid is hard. There were lots of tears and frustrations, and she got bored since Bobby and I also work from home/I’m not a stay at hoke mom. We couldn’t just sit with her all day and teach her with our crazy long hours owning two businesses. 

It was tough to keep a schedule and while getting to travel a lot was great, she didn’t thrive on not having a routine and struggled with the randomness of everything.

She is also a very social only child who missed her friends and also wants to play sports for her school.

 In the end while there were a lot of pros to hybrid homeschool, the cons outweighed them for us so we are returning to her old school in the fall. 

Am I glad we did it? Yes! I always would have wondered otherwise and now we know. We will still be pulling her out of school some to travel in the fall, just not as much. 

If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments below and I will be happy to answer the best I can! 🩷
