On a cooking hiatus

January 20, 2009 Jose & I welcomed our 4th child, 2nd daughter into the world.
Delayna Lynn Herrera born at 1:05pm, 7lbs 8oz, 19" long.
She was born via cesarian and I also had my tubes tied.
So needless to say, I won't be cooking or blogging on here for a while.
The church is supplying meals for my family for about a week and then I do believe my MOTS group of moms will be coming behind them and doing as many as moms sign up to help.
I will update as soon as I get back on the roll!
Oh yes, I will be back in the kitchen, with Delayna attached, I start them early :-)
Until then, continue to work on "Bringing Your Family Back To The Table"

BBQ Chicken Salad


So my SIL makes this AWESOME BBQ Chicken Salad! She made it a few weeks ago over at my house and I will be making it tonight.
It is SUPER simple & fast, Oh and VERY healthy!!!!
K, here it goes...

INGREDIENTS:
Chicken breast~ for your family
Lettuce~ whatever kind you like
Cilantro
1 Can of Corn
Ranch Dressing
BBQ Sauce~ your choice, Hunts Honey Hickory is what we like
Tortilla Strips~ you can either make these on your own or buy some chips or whatever crunchy

DIRECTIONS:
Bbq the chicken with some sauce. While the chicken is cooking, chop up the lettuce & cilantro, toss into bowl, add corn. Cut chicken into strips.
Place greens onto plate, lay chicken ontop & top with tortilla strips.
Add ranch dressing & a bit of bbq sauce.

On a side note, I think jicama would be really good in this!
Hope you enjoy!!!
