'Olé

So prior to this blog I searched high and low on pinterest for some good looking recipes. Some already were pretty low calories- others were not. This weekend I made one of the low calorie crock pot recipes. I want to say before I say anymore about this recipe that not all my recipes will be crock pot based, however crock pot season has officially arrived and I am taking full advantage of that! Back to the yummy meal! 
I made a dish called Chicken Taco Soup (not sure why its called soup because it was more like a stew). 
The recipe calls for chili peppers which I did not use- it also calls for chili powder which i forgot to add- i will say you should def. add the chili powder- it really needs a bit of a bite to it. In the recipe the women said you could make it over rice or tortilla chips- I did neither and honestly it didn't need it.
I added 1/4 cup shredded taco seasoned cheese blend and 1 tbsp of chobani plain Greek yogurt. 

This was one of the easiest dishes I have ever made and it was so delicious. I have a picture I will post below- I had to take a picture of Joey's because i'm too impatient and mixed mine before realizing I should snap a picture! 


Below is the recipe, picture and calorie information.
