Traveling

This weekend we loaded and up and went to visit Kev. I spent the good part of Friday morning cooking our meals for the weekend/week.

Red sauce chicken enchiladas. Personally I've always preferred cheesy enchiladas, but I came across this recipe for on the Skinnytaste Blog. They are very spicy, flavorful and surprisingly low-fat. 

Poppy Seed Chicken. My best friend introduced me to this casserole (her mom makes it). This is the first time I've ever made it and used a couple of recipes I found online. It's so simple and I only hope it tastes as yummy as her mom's. Basically you mix two cups cooked chicken (again I always use rotisserie), a can of cream of mushroom soup, 16 ounces of sour cream (and again I used nonfat creek yogurt-Fage is my favorite), 3 teaspoons of poppy seeds, salt and pepper, and a small package of cooked egg noodles. For the topping melt 1/4 cup of butter and combine with about 30 crushed Ritz Crackers. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes and wah la!

My third dish was meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Kev's favorite! I've tried several recipes and have found a Weight Watcher (My mom bought me a Weight Watcher cookbook for Christmas last year.) spicy meatloaf recipe that's yummy and again low fat.

Loaded up and ready to go. I couldn't take both animals, so Hatfield stayed at our friend's house to play with their dogs (He was SOOOOO ready to play. Lilly got spayed Monday so there hasn't been ANY playing the past week.) and Lilly came with me. Most hotels only allow small dogs and she is the smallest of my two. That is if you consider 62 pounds small! She slept most of the way and we stopped a few times to take a walk. Overall it was a great drive!
