Reinventing a Family Favorite
As the chilly winter weather sets in, soups are a common meal in our home. The other day I realized I was getting a little burned out on soup dinners and thought for a moment — what can I create that’s fast and filling? For some reason, I recalled Lizzie’s BBQ Beef video http://lizziemariecuisine.com/index.php?itemid=381 and took a quick mental inventory of the meats in our freezer. No pot roast on hand, but chicken breasts were definitely in stock. In the time it took me to brew my morning coffee, I was able to put all the ingredients together for the BBQ using chicken breasts for the first time and had everything simmering in the crockpot.
Wow, how simple is that? Within hours the house was filled with a wonderful, mouth-watering aroma. Hubby came home and dove into his plate saying, “… this tastes very familiar… what is it?” Lizzie excitedly explained how her BBQ recipe worked great with chicken. The BBQ Chicken, remarkably juicy, was served in organic blue corn taco shells — what a pleasant change from the typical whole wheat bun!

Warmly,
