Getting Back on Track

No more procrastinating. I have to get back on track and get out of this funky mood I've been in for four months. I've been really busy and yet I feel like I haven't done anything constructive. You ever get in one of those moods where you are just mad or dislike everything? Food doesn't taste good, clothes don't feel good, bad hair days, bad face days, ya just want to crawl under and rock and sleep all day days. My two forms of entertainment lately have either been eating or sleeping. I'm one of those "emotional eaters". I get my feelings hurt....I eat. I get upset.....I eat. Depressed......eat. A celebration or a happy occassion......We EAT!!! Ugh!!! I spent the first five months of this year sweating and working my butt off and watching what I eat to loose 15 pounds. It only took two and a half to gain it all back!!! It's September 1st and I am making a vow that starting tomorrow I am going to get back on track and stay on track through the end of the year. Back to exercising, back to working out, back to eating healthy!!!! No more procrastinating! No more excuses! (although I did have some pretty good ones) Cracked my elbow, chipped my thumb, had my heart broken, and broke my toe. All of which were excuses to pig out or not work out.

Fortunately, most of those have healed and life will go on. I just need to stay focused and make healthy choices for myself, physically and emotionally. Now, check out this new cake recipe!!! Ha Ha!

King Ranch Chicken

3 large chicken breasts, cooked
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 onion, chopped
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 jar (8oz) cheese whiz
dash of Tabasco
dash of Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
tortilla chips, crushed
8 oz cheddar
4 oz mozzarella

Dice the cooked chicken breasts.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the soups, onion, tomatoes, Cheese Whiz, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce until blended.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Line the bottom of a casserole dish with the crushed tortilla chips.  Place the chicken on top and pour some of the soup mixture over the chips.  Add a layer of half of the cheddar cheese.  Repeat the process, then add cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.  Bake for 35-45 minutes until bubbly.

Now I love King Ranch Chicken.  It's a great comfort food.  I think there is even another recipe on this blog for it but is a little bit different.  I think I prefer it to this one.  This recipe turned out okay but I have had better.  It was easy to put together but I had a hard time finding Cheese Whiz.  I haven't used this stuff in years.  And I was at Wal-Mart of all places looking for it.  You'd think that if anyone in town had processed cheese in a jar it would be them!
