1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 cup salsa/picante sauce

1 T chili powder

1.5 tsp cumin

Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated.  Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.  Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Monday

Chicken Picadillo
This is a long time favorite of ours.  The kids were less than pleased…even though it is just chicken and golden raisins and salsa with a side of rice and beans.  Sounds kid friendly enough to me! {Just not friendly to MINE I guess :)  The adults still love it.}


Tuesday

Homemade Chicken Pot Pie
such wonderful comfort food that is SO easy to put together.  I sure it would taste even more divine with a homemade crust, but honestly I created this recipe in the midst of multiple-infant-parenting so the easier the better is/was my motto!
recipe blogged HERE


Wednesday
date night to Via Emilia, one of our local go-to favorites


Thursday
leftovers


Friday

Chicken and Brie Sandwich with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
another long time favorite!! The flavors are amazing together.  Served it with a cream of asparagus soup that was sub-par so I will not list it here.
