Southwestern Wraps and Peanut Butter Treats!

"Always be joyful. Always keep on praying. No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Yummy dinner last night!

Southwestern Wraps...thanks again Dana!!! I love you and your recipes!!!

10 oz. spinach, frozen (optional...we opted no spinach because Jay is not a fan)
1 pkg of dry fajita seasoning
1 can of black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 can of Mexicorn
Pepper Jack cheese
Grilled chicken tenders (we used Tyson's frozen chicken breast tenderloins) thawed
flour tortillas

If you are using spinach, you would thaw it in the microwave and then squeeze out the water. Put spinach in pan on the stove and mix with the fajita seasoning. But since we didn't use spinach, I started out with the thawed chicken tenders in the pan to cook and mixed in the fajita seasoning. Let the chicken cook for a little bit. Then add the black beans and mexicorn. Mix well.


After the mixture has cooked for awhile, and the chicken is done, add the pepper jack cheese to the top and continue to cook until cheese melts.


When cheese is melted, grab a tortilla, fill it up, and roll tightly. This can be served with a dab of salsa or sour cream.Enjoy!


I decided we needed dessert and I wasn't in the mood for one of my 100 calorie, littly bitty, very tiny Little Debbie cakes. So I found this easy and good recipe online....that is NOT 100 calories!

Peanut Butter Treats

4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup of brown sugar
8.5 oz of smooth peanut butter
1 and 3/4 cup of confectioner's sugar
1 cup of chocolate chips
1 extra tablespoon of butter

Melt the 4 tblsp of butter in a saucepan. (I melted mine in the microwave). In a separate bowl, put the brown sugar,peanut butter, and confectioner's sugar. Pour the melted butter over this mixture and blend with a mixer. (Mixture will be crumbly) Spoon the mixture into an 8x8 pan (I didn't have an 8x8 so I used a 9x9) and spread it out evenly. Press down firmly with a butter knife or the palms of your hands.

Melt the chocolate chips with the remaining 1 tblsp of butter. (I also did this in the microwave). Spread the chocolate over the peanut butter mixture. Chill until it has set but still soft enough to cut. When ready, cut into squares and remove them from the pan. Put back in the fridge to finish setting.
They are so good! Taste just like reese's peanut butter cups!!
