Joni's Taco Salad
This is my kids FAVORITE meal!
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about one large breast)
taco seasoning
head of lettuce
can of black beans (drained and washed)
tomato
salsa
ranch
tortilla chips
Shred the chicken and then add taco seasoning to it, add everything except the ranch, chips and salsa into a bowl. For the dressing do half ranch, half salsa and voila you have a meal. Oh put it all on tortilla chips. By the way don't put the dressing on the salad, keep it to the side, or else you will have soggy salad!

Loaded Chicken
Barbecue chicken breasts or thighs with favorite BBQ sauce(Masterpiece).
Cook some bacon and break up in pieces. Add bacon to cooked chicken and load with cheese. Let melt and dig in. WE usually put chicken on a foil covered baking sheet and add the bacon and cheese and broil a few min until cheese melts(less mess for BBQ).

Then load the mozz chesse with some parm cheese and cook at 350 for 30 min. It may need to cook a bit longer. It's good with a low carb pasta or Best life pasta.

Roasted Veggies and or Potatoes
Cut up broccoli and cauliflour and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast anywhere from 400-425 for 15-20 min. It's healthier if the veggies are al dente.
Cut up potatoes and carrots and roast at 425 for 30-50 min-of course toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Slice zucchini in coin shapes or long ways in 4 thick slices and brush with olive oil and put parmasan cheese on top. You can add some pepper too. Broil for a few min or roast at a 400 to 400 plus temp until it's cooked. Good way to get zucchini or squash in your menu.
Also, another good way is cut up yellow crooked neck squash in coins and just saute in pan with a couple tbsp butter and delicious-Grandma Ruths idea.
