if you have access to an oven, roast a chicken. you can have tons of meals out of it. eat the first with mashed potatoes, and a veggie.. then you can make chicken salad sandwiches, chicken soup, chicken gravy (serve over potatoes or biscuits). i have even shredded the chicken up and put into a tossed salad which tastes amazing too!

This is the BEST!
Black Bean Soup
Serves 6
If you’re at all like me, the name of this soup does not even remotely tempt you. That’s how I felt the first time I decided to make it but the desire to eat healthier and add more legumes to my diet was all it took to get me cooking. I tell you truly, this is now one of my favorites! I’m hoping it will become a favorite of yours too.
3 cans Black Beans, drained (you can make your beans from scratch if you have the time)
One 32-ounce box chicken broth
1/2 cup Sofrito, recipe follows
1 can Tomato sauce
¾ cup chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
1 tablespoon fine sea or kosher salt
Healthy dose freshly ground black pepper
1. Make the Sofrito. Now add your black beans, chicken broth, tomato sauce and chopped olives. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Bring everything to a boil over medium-high heat and continue to boil until the soup is nice and thick or to the consistency you desire in a soup. Serve it hot with a little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on top of the soup. A dollop of sour cream helps cut the heat (although it really isn’t hot at all) and adds a little extra flavor to your soup. A crusty bread is always a good addition to soak up every last drop.
Sofrito
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 onion, chopped
½ red pepper, chopped
½ green pepper, chopped
1 Jalepeno pepper, seeded and
chopped
4 minced garlic gloves
2 pkts. Goya Sazon Seasoning (found
in the Spanish cooking section of
your supermarket)
1 handful cilantro, chopped
1 can Rotelle Brand Diced Tomatoes
with Green Chilies
2 Chicken boullion cubes or packets
Heat olive oil and add the next 5 ingredients (onion through garlic) sauteing until softened. Next add your Sazon seasoning and stir to incorporate it into your sofrito. Now add you tomatoes, cilantro and chicken boullion.
