Good morning!! I didn't make it to the store the day before yesterday, so we just did leftovers. Last night, I made inside-out chicken chilies rellenos with a creamy corn cassarole! It was super yummy!! Hubby has duty today, so I won't be cooking tonight, either. My son ate everything on his plate!!
Look at all that gooey, yummy cheese!! If you want this on your taste buds;

Butterfly chicken breast halves. Cover with plastic wrap and pound out until thin enough to roll, about 1/8 inch. Place a chili pepper half on each piece of chicken near the edge. Place a stick of cheese on top, sprinkle with cilantro, season the entire inside of the breast with salt and pepper, and roll up.

I have a complete love affair with my kitchen! Mu husband and I are dedicated to eating clean (Okay, sometimes we cheat!), recently became vegetarians, although we do eat fish, and are fitness addicted! Sometimes people mistake clean eating for boring, so I started this blog to show how awesome healthy food is! Let's connect on Facebook, too! www.facebook.com/bondgirlfit
