Spicy

By Courtney 51 Comments

Hello! Good morning! How’s everyone doing this morning?

So last night I cooked up a new-to-us dinner, and WOW. That ish was spicyyyy.

IMG_8890

I ended up buying a package of the new Campbell’s Skillet Sauces on Sunday, since I had a coupon and it was only going to cost me like, a buck. I picked up the Creamy Chipotle flavor since it said to pair it with chicken, which I already had on hand, and you’d think the “chipotle” would have been warning enough for me.

Whewwwww! I will say that it was actually pretty tasty, but there was a lot of water consumed with last night’s meal. I might buy it again, maybe in a different flavor, just to have on hand since it was ridiculously easy to make, but we’ll see.

I served the spicy chicken on top of brown rice and cooked up some green beans on the side.

IMG_8891

I actually feel like that’s one of the more balanced meals that I’ve cooked in quite a while now?

A couple of hours later, I found myself pretty hungry again, so I wound up making myself a mug of cereal to snack on while watching The Voice.

IMG_0581

Did anyone else watch The Voice last night and think that Christina Aguilera was being super snotty?! Jay actually can’t stand her, but I’ve always liked her so the show usually ends up including bouts of Jay calling her names and me defending her…but last night? Mannnn…I don’t know what her deal was. She was ruuuuuuude.

Breakfast

Yesterday’s waffles tasted awesome…so they’re back again today.

IMG_8893

Along with some coffee, for good measure.

IMG_8892

Hey, why mess with a good thing, right? Winking smile

Lots to do today…time to get movin’!

Question for the Morning:

What’s your favorite after-dinner snack?

    Haha, Clark and I thought the exact same thing last night! We ended up turning the channel because she was being so rude. She's just jealous of Amanda Brown I've decided ;-)

    Hmm I might have to look for that Campbell's Skillet Sauce! Cody LOVES spicy. I can handle it okay, but I'm a wimp compared to him. I go in phases with my after dinner snack... Lately it's been leftover pumpkin pie. :) But I do love a mug of cereal or piece of toast with peanut butter!

    I love christina as an artist and usually have stood up for her as well. However- last night she was so rude and acted like her guy is the only one worth watching. Man, I almost had to fast forward through her speaking (we DVRed it and watched around 9)

    Hey Courtney! Okay, so I LOVE spicy food. I may need to try some of that sauce. Did you know that dairy products are more effective than water in making your mouth feel better after consuming spicy foods? :) Just an interesting tidbit there. It's a great excuse to chase things down with ice cream. My favorite after dinner snack is usually a piece of dark chocolate. But I've been known to grab the cereal box, too.

    After dinner/night time snack is usually fruit, yoghurt and the latest baking experiment! :) You should try adding some yoghurt to the sauce to cool it down a bit on the chicken!

    Eep! I'm actually the biggest wimp when it comes to spicy food - I can't handle it at all. Cereal, on the other hand, I'm a big fan of. A bowl of that with some yogurt and fruit is definitely my perfect late night snack.

    Did you watch The Voice last year? She was REALLY B*itchy to one contestant from Adam's team and she got ALOT of flack for it. While she was pretty rude last night, it didn't compare with last year. I think she is just feeling intimidated by the other teams!! I like spicy so I am going to have to try out that sauce mix!!

    I keep seeing those Campbell's Skillet Sauces at the store and wondering about them. I think that I might have to give one a try with tofu. I don't know why I never think to eat cereal as an evening snack. It is a relatively healthy choice AND its delicious. I must try to start remembering that option!

    Did you watch the voice last year? I love Christina but sometimes she is a snot, last year she was really bad and I almost didnt want to watch it, this year she's been pretty good, and I think she caught herself a bit because she seemed to stop herself unlike before...

    I only watched one performance on The Voice last night and I definitely think she was kind of snotty but I've found she generally is. Definitely a major diva but it doesn't surprise me one bit. I just wish she could be more supportive of people. I swear there's got to be a reason her people haven't lasted...

    I'm attributing Christina's cattiness to the fact that she's down to only one of her vocalists being left! Quite a sad reason to beat up on others, but possibly true? Speaking of The Voice....don't you love Melanie?!? I think he is adorable! Though Carson and Adam both opened their mouths and inserted their feet last night in regards to their comments about her break-up... :p Btw- the dinner looks yummy! I recommend roasting green beans with coconut oil :) delicious!

    I don't have after-dinner snacks anymore. My retainers must go in at 6:30 and be worn for 12 hours straight. So what I do is an after school snack. My after school snacks are not usually healthy, sometimes they're a cookie or a bowl of ice cream. However, I don't have after school snacks every day...just once in a while.

    I was thinking the same thing about Christina! She's always been a little snotty about her team, and I think it's slightly ironic that she only has one member left (but I love Dez!).
