Menu Monday: Santa Fe Crockpot Recipe

So, honestly, I do not have time to watch a new movie once a week, unless its the weekend. So, I'm changing Monday's to "Menu Monday". I will post a recipe that I am making for dinner that night.

Tonight's dinner is Santa Fe Crockpot Recipe. It is a Weight Watcher Recipe since my mother-in-law is on Weight Watcher's. We have NEVER tried this recipe, so I will have to update this post after dinner tonight to let you know what I thought of it and maybe some pictures of the food. Here is the recipe:

Slow cooked shredded chicken with corn, tomatoes and black beans. Prepare the night before and turn your crock pot on in the morning for an easy weeknight meal. Low fat and low in points. Serve over rice with chopped scallions, fresh cilantro, fat free sour cream and reduced fat cheddar.
