Dinner in a flash – and it’s tasty. I use a corn tortilla called Candy’s for these and crisp them up in the oven. 2 tortillas are only 90 calories. I think the taste of crisping up your own corn tortillas in the oven is so much better than buying hard tostada shells – those […]

Crockpot Shredded Chicken
I’m a big fan of shortcuts. I cook extra and freeze, or throw a big package of chicken breasts in the crockpot and cook them until they shred.
