Briefly before bed...

If you like the taste of mexican food, here is a quick family dinner you can make (and alter) easily:
5-6 chicken breasts, cubed
1 cup salsa
1 pkg taco seasoning (I don't use that,so I put chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and 1T or 2T tomato paste.)
2 cups water
1 can black beans (optional)
Cooked rice

In a large skillet, cook chicken in about 1 T oil til it's white.
Sprinkle with seasonings, add salsa, water. Bring to boil, reduce and simmer, covered for 15-20 minutes. You can add the beans towards the end.

I serve with cooked rice, but another way is to put some minute rice in the skillet and let it cook with it. Top with cheese if you like.

On the menu for the next few days:
Homemade Hamburgers
Fasulieh (Arabic dish with green beans and cubed beef)
Chicken Paprika
Maybe a grilled something or other on the weekend.
