Today was SUCH a gorgeous day. It was also a very busy day since we just don’t get all that much dry and sun this time of year in the PNW and we can’t waste a drop of sunlight on inside chores. My list for the day included planting 7 fruit trees, rotilling our 2400 square foot garden, and getting at least a few seedlings started in my container garden. Making dinner was one of those things that was going to be a necessary evil that would cut into my precious, limited outside project time.
But THRIVE makes it SOOOO easy to feed my family a nutritious meal that takes less time and money than going through a drive through. (In fact, it costs less than the GAS to get to said drive-through these days!) Twenty minutes after being struck with inspiration I was back outside playing in the dirt!
I had been dreaming of Enchiladas for days but just couldn’t squeeze the time into my schedule so I adapted and came up with a keeper! Cook this saucy chicken in the slow cooker all day long and then serve it over rice. Yummy!
Saucy Chicken Enchilada over Rice
1 pkg Enchilada Sauce
3 cups water (according to sauce package, yours may say different)
1 6oz can Tomato paste
1/2 cup THRIVE Freeze Dried Onions
1/2 cup THRIVE Freeze Dried Corn
1/2 cup THRIVE Freeze-Dried Mixed Bell Peppers
2 lbs broken, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts if you prefer!)
Optional Toppings: salsa, shredded cheese, sour cream, crumbled tortilla chips ( I save the bottom of the bag crumbs in a mason jar for exactly this type off thing.)
Pour the 3 cups hot water into the bottom of your slow cooker. Add the sauce packet and the tomato sauce and whisk until smooth. Add your THRIVE freeze dried vegetables. Stir well. Add your chicken, making sure each peice gets dunked in the sauce at the bottom. Cook on low for 8 hours. Remove chicken, shred and return to the sauce in the pot. Ladel over hot rice, serve with refried beans on the side. Top with your choice of toppings.
Do you have a recipe you like to use when you need to be out of the kitchen and onto other things?
This month’s April Q-pon is Pearled Barley and we have a recipe for THRIVE Barley and Tomato Risotto to go along with it. You can download and print the recipe as a pdf and we also have a great YouTube of Chef Todd making it up for us. The Q-Club special pricing can only be had if you contact me directly at (360) 789-3819.
Our April Specials are now posted. I am so excited about our Instant Beans being on sale. I am forever forgetting to soak my dry beans and regular canned beans take up so much room in my pantry. Instant Beans offer the space efficiency of dry beans with the last minute convenience of canned beans.
Also for a tasty treat don’t miss our Freeze Dried Ice Cream Sandwiches. Dessert is a very important aspect to your food storage. In stressful conditions it is always good to know we still have chocolate!
These Q Club pricing can only be received if you contact me directly. Or, if you prefer you can pay the “Consultant Web Price” by clicking over to my storefront.
