Now…onto dinner!
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dinner last night was created to satisfy a craving. I was craving salad and something spicy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>When I make salads, I tend to throw everything into them. This time: yellow and orange peppers and lots of other veggies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I cried as I chopped the green onions. Who knew they were just like regular onions in that regard?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The prep time to chop everything was about 15 minutes or so.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Going with the southwest theme, I included black beans and canned corn.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I mixed them both together in one pot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>While the black beans and corn heated (Michael add cumin to the mix), I prepped the salad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My salad was a mixture of green leaf lettuce, baby spinach and coleslaw.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The coleslaw adds some crunchiness to the salad. I topped the salad with chopped peppers and sliced grape tomatoes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Then I added cubed avocado, chopped olives and chopped green onion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Next, I poured some of the black beans and corn on the salad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Michael cut up the last of our Mexican cheese. I think I like it better crumbled instead of in cubes. I didn’t eat much of the cheese. Since I was feeling lazy last night, I picked up Southwest Chicken already prepared.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The chicken was actually really tasty. It was spicy and flavorful and only 110 calories a serving. There were two servings in the package; I used 1 1\/2 servings for the salads.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Michael cooked some small flour tortillas in the skillet to have with the salad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I used a Lite Southwest Ranch salad dressing on mine then mixed it all together. Michael made a vinaigrette.<\/p>\n

Dinner was delicious. Even though it was just a salad, it was filling too. I think all the veggies I added filled me up (and the black beans). Michael and I both agreed that we love big salads as entrees and want to do them more often.<\/p>\n

Jen from She’s a Fit Chick<\/a> picked me as a winner for her last giveaway. I was happy to find the box of Sokenbicha Tea when I got home!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A bunch of bottles of different flavors to try plus a reusable grocery bag. Excellent!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I tried one of the flavors with breakfast this morning. It was pretty good. No added sugar, not sweet. Perfect!<\/p>\n
