It took 45 minutes to cook and I had to add more chicken broth! LOL! I used a red pepper and added some Orzo too. It did turn out delish!!! Although, I wasn't too happy about eating dinner at 8pm! LOL! I had also put 2 chicken breasts in the Crockpot, added some cumin, pepper, sea salt and salsa and put it on top of the bowls. Super yummy! Had lots left over to make salads this week for lunch!

I'm not much of a fan of cooked celery either, so I used bell pepper in it's place. I also made your taco bowls last night using the plethora of black beans I seemed to have acquired and loved them! What a great idea! I didn't miss the meat at all (like you said). I think I'll be adding that to my Meatless [Insert Day of the Week here] meal options. <br /><br />You rock!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15156867074217547613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683373180572839029.post-74623653922985258392012-11-15T08:40:17.141-08:002012-11-15T08:40:17.141-08:00I made this to go with our chicken fajitas last ni...I made this to go with our chicken fajitas last night. Very yummy! I used carrots instead of celery and tomato sauce instead of V8 because thats what I had.

That's my middle name. I was named after my aunt who died as a teenager right before I was born. No one ever asked my Gramma how she came up with the name before she passed away and I've always been interested. This is the first time I've ever "met" someone else with that name/spelling. If you ever find out any stories about the name/meaning/where it came from from your friend I'd love to hear it. Oh - AND I am pinning this recipe - Thank You!elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050815408724024321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683373180572839029.post-42276857797837907102012-11-13T09:03:26.479-08:002012-11-13T09:03:26.479-08:00I'm always in the mood for delicious Spanish/M...I'm always in the mood for delicious Spanish/Mexican inspired foods. Yum. We used to freeze beans too, forever. Just make a huge batch and freeze in small portions. They retain pretty much most of their texture and flavors.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075300256482920618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683373180572839029.post-63980642825774106152012-11-13T08:51:37.725-08:002012-11-13T08:51:37.725-08:00Celery?
