Shredded Chicken/Pork Tacos w/ Cilantro Dressing


Summer is a time for quick and simple meals. My good friend Katie passed this yummy recipe on to me last year and it has become one of our favorites. I love to add avocados to any dish possible so I serve an avocado and tomato salsa along with this dish (which I have included). The combination of cilantro dressing, avocados, tomatoes and chicken is amazing, you must give it a try!





Crock pot:
Pork Roast (I get a boneless one) or chicken (I usually cook 4 breasts)
Chicken broth (enough to cover about 1/4-1/2 of the roast or chicken)
Let cook on high for 6-7 hours, until will shred really easy.
Shred and pour in bottle of Salsa Verde. Keep warm in crock pot.

Cilantro Dressing:Put into blender & blend until smooth:
2 cups mayo
1 bunch of cilantro
1 jalapeno (with out seeds)
2 cloves garlic
2 TBS white vinegar

Warm the tortillas. Spoon on the shredded chicken or pork mixture, add the dressing, Monterey Jack cheese, shredded lettuce and salsa. You can also squirt a little lime on top.
Roll tortilla and enjoy!

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
