I make something similar. I put chicken thighs in my crockpot with salsa, black beans and taco seasoning. Take chicken out and shred, mix in some refried beans and rolled up in tortillas and bake.

We had leftovers to use up. DS had a cheeseburger, DH and I had pork chops with potatoes and carrots.
I had such a horrible headache that in my dream I was also experiencing the extreme pain and it woke me up at 5am. I guess it's all the stress of the last 2 weeks ( FIL and his fall/surgery and a very dear friend was diagnosed with cancer that spread everywhere and now 1.5 weeks lateris in a coma :() so tonight was Wendy's.
I am hoping to feel good enough tomorrow to enjoy the Super Bowl feast my mom has planned :)
Last night mom made herself chili which I do not eat especially since she got a little happy with the spices and I cannot handle anything spicy. So Mom had chili and I had BBQ Pulled Pork from the freezer over leftover mashed potatoes.
Time to figure out something for today, thinking something comforting and warm is in order because every where you look right now it is white. I am so over snow.
Last night, got KFC, Colonel's Club special 18 pce + sides - lots of chicken left, so I'll just make some sort of potato to go with it tonight.
It's Super Bowl Sunday!! ..I'm pretty sure chili will be on the menu; and all the other finger foods, dips, etc... pizza and beer. http://ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.5032070782911674&pid=1.7
Yup! Super Bowl Sunday. Hubby is ordering all-dressed pizza (pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms, bacon and lots and lots of mozza cheese. im not a pizza lover (i must be the only one on the planet) so i dont know what i will have
I'm doing those enchiladas I talked about the other day since I have boatloads of salsa and found tortillas on sale at Costco earlier (15 large Dempsters tortillas for $2.24). No football here, but we did celebrate by having some nachos a bit ago!

i made sweet sausages and roasted peppers tossed in aoli sauce and spaghetti.
chicken breast,veggies and miracle noodle stir fry
Last night was Perogie (which I have been craving for weeks but every time they were suggested I was shot down) with Grill'em sausages.
Tonight I took out "homemade" pasta sauce we had in the freezer almost with some frozen potato rolls. Just have to bake the rolls, cook some pasta and heat up the sauce and I have dinner.
Lots of cooking today - I'll be making homemade chicken soup, then from the meat, chicken stew.
Son is coming over for supper, yippee! He's been sick, so hopefully the soup will help him, and chicken stew is his fave. I'm making lots, so there will be plenty for him to take home, along with some baking.
I'm going to the cabin today so whatever I can cook on a wood stove, so I might try a pot of beef stew or peas soup, haven't decided yet- the stew would prob be easier..(with dumplings!)
It’s meatball Monday here in my abode,
I just hope my meatballs are up to code,
Into the crock pot as they’ve been nicely browned,
Do you ever buy chicken that has been ground?
Sweet & sour sauce with a little bit of zing,
Hopefully so yummy that they’ll make us sing,
I’ll serve them up on a bed of egg noodles,
If the family doesn’t like them, they can open a can of zoodles,
A tasty spinach salad to serve as a side,
Its Monday kids just take it in stride.
Tonight I have no idea yet as it's just me so probably left overs.
Tuesday- Chicken in the crockpot with veggies and salad
Well despite the -18 temp I served a chicken ceasar salad for dinner and they all ate it-nobody complained about the lack of hot food.
I have chicken thighs in my fridge, what should I do with them for tomorrow's supper? Our standard is baked with Italian bread crumbs on the outside. I'm thinking a pasta, anyone have a good chicken pasta idea?
Zonny:
I made chicken/pasta casseroles on the weekend to freeze (3 of them) because whole chickens were on sale for $2 a pound.
Pretty easy to make: cut up 1 of each: green pepper, red pepper, zucchini. Mix in with 2 cans crushed tomatoes, 1 can whole tomatoes. Season to taste (I used 1 whole garlic, salt, pepper, some packaged Italian seasoning)
Cut up pre-cooked chicken.
Boil 1.5 boxes of rotini pasta. Drain pasta. Divide into 3 small baking dishes (I used foil cake pans). Layer chicken and tomato/veggie combo over top. Cover with cheese if desired, and bake in the oven until the cheese is melted (the rest should already be hot.
So good!
That one chicken made 3 dinners for 3 adults, and there will probably be some for lunches as well.
Tonight will be baked potato soup, I have the base which was cooked in the crock pot over the weekend in the fridge waiting for me, just need to reheat it add the last two ingredients and dinner will be ready. I love quick and simple meals where I can have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes.
Roast pork, roasted potatoes and carrots and maybe apple-pear crisp.
Didn't put chicken in the crockpot this morning as that was my plan so that will be tomorrow nights dinner. Will prep it tonight. Will make the kids fish and fries tonight I think- Pull from the freezer.
Tonight will be leftover chicken noodle soup, and leftover chicken stew. Will make some coleslaw and garlic toast to go with.
Thanks for the idea! Might try that next time. I ended up going with the standby, baked chicken. But I think that I might try something with some of the cooked chicken. I've been seeing ads about Carnation white sauce on TV, that might work for what I'm thinking. I never use canned milk, but I'm thinking a roux using the evaporated milk, and add some curry powder and put in some cooked chicken and pasta. Might work!

My stomach needs to take a break from the games and party that's been on for 2 days....Grrrrrr.....:zip:
Tonight was Indian inspired homemade hamburger helper-ish as per DH along with a side salad.
Tonight - there are leftover mashed potatoes, so I'll saute those with onion, have baked ham sausage, and a salad.
Boring, yes, but I have to keep it simple because my sore back is still an owie.
