Recipe Share: BBQ Chicken and Black Bean Burrito

Sometimes I just want something different for lunch. A salad or sandwich isn't cutting it. This recipe I found in my Jillan Michaels' DVD program is awesome. It's super tasty, heatlhy, filling, and hits the spot every time.
Ingredients:
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
1/8 C. chopped white or yellow onion
1 garlic clove, minced
2 Tbsp. barbeque sauce
1/4 C. black beans, drained
2 Tbsp. shredded cheddar cheese (reduced fat is a good option if you're watching fat intake)
whole grain tortilla (I like the Guerrero brand)
1-2 Tbsp. low fat sour cream
sliced red onion, sliced tomato, green leaf lettuce, and cilantro for toppings

Directions:
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet mover medium heat. Add chicken, onion, garlic, and cook for 8 minutes or until chicken is done, stirring constantly. Stir in barbeque sauce and beans, and cook for 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Warm tortilla according to package directions. (I like to wrap my tortilla in a damp paper towel and warm it for 15 seconds or so in the microwave.) Spoon chicken mixture down the center of your tortilla. Top with red onion, tomato, lettuce, cheddar cheese, and cilantro. Roll up and enjoy! Yummy!!

Teacher Appreciation Gifts. By color.

With teacher appreciation happening this week, I knew I wanted to do something nice for my 3 kids' teachers. I fell back on my usual gift ideas, and did a combination of chocolate, gum, and goodies from Bath & Body Works. All women like those things, yes? And, yes, I'm kind of a color coordinating freak. I love things to match, so I first chose 3 chocolates at Target and then went to their dollar section and found a few things that matched the chocolates.  How cute are these pink and white thumb tacks? The little sticky notes are a very light shade of blue that I thought worked with the turquoise. And I loved the purple pencils and purple paper clips, too.  I made sure to get 5 small things for each teacher. Bath and Body Works always has cute little sanitizers, sprays, and lotions.   The white scalloped edge tins I found at Target in their party section with all the wedding stuff.  Luckily I had filler leftover from Easter, and I always have tissue p

Party 101.

I remember when my oldest son was 4 years old, and I wanted to plan a birthday party for him. I was overwhelmed with how to go about planning a birthday party for little kids. I wasn't sure where to start. All I knew was that he really wanted a Thomas the Train theme. Cohen, at his Thomas party. Up until then, we had always done birthday parties with family only, and they were simply eating a meal (often at a restaurant), opening presents, and having cake. This would be our first friend birthday party, where we'd have to plan activities and food for all the kids. I so wanted to have a party that was memorable for my son and his friends.  I emailed a friend of mine and asked her for advice. She gave me some great tips that I've used in all my parties since. My twin sister, Jaime, also has been a great source to turn to. She throws a mean party and is crazy creative. O ver the years, I've also learned a lot of things from trial and error, lots of trial and err

Teacher Appreciation Gift.

My son's school did a theme each day of the week for Teacher Appreciation... (flower day, note day, treat day, etc.) I spaced it and remembered last night that we hadn't done anything yet! ACK! So, to Pinterest I went and found this cute pin . Lucky me it came with a printable tag that says "ORANGE you glad it's almost summer?" I thought it was perfect. (And being OCD about gifts matching, this made me very happy.) Here's what's inside : Peach Nectarine Sparkling Ice drink - these are so yummy Lindt Intense Orange dark chocolate bar - one of my faves Dreamsicle candle from Walmart Country Chic lotion from Bath & Body Works Sweet Tangerines hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works Orange Tic Tacs and Tropical Trident gum Lots of orange-y goodness.
