Extra Easy Southwestern Chicken and Rice

This one is from Suzanne Reeve, Thanks! 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 cup salsa (i use more) 1 can cream of chicken soup 2 cups minute rice Cut chicken breast in half. Place in crockpot and stir soup and salsa together. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Add minute rice and cook until juice is obsorbed (about 15 min). Wrap in a flour shell or serve with corn chips. I take my chicken out before adding the rice and shred it all up and put it back in. Then I simply take a soft flour taco shell, warm it, add the chicken mixture and some sour cream, black beans,salsa, and cheese if you want, roll it up and eat it. Kids love it, and it is SO easy.

Zucchini Relish #2

I love the relish recipe I got from Kay. This year the person I got a bunch of zucchini from also gave me their own recipe for zucchini relish so I thought I would make a batch of theirs and a batch of kay's to experiment. I love both, although I don't think this one is as healthy since there is so much sugar, but it's good! So I guess each year I will be making two recipes. Which is okay since I love to put this relish on everything. Any sandwiches (instead of mayo if I am being healthy), potato salads, egg salads, pasta salads, hot dogs, hamburgers..... Ingredients 11 cups zucchini-shredded 4 c. Onion-shredded 1 Red Pepper 2 Green Pepper (the recipe didn't call for it, but I added 1 carrot-shredded for color) 3 T. salt Let stand overnight or about 4-6 hours. Drain (I squeeze it out with a kitchen towel) In a big pot: 2 1/2 c. vinegar 6 c. sugar 1 Tblsp. each Dry mustard, tumeric, cornstarch, 2 tsp. celery salt 1/2 tsp. pepper Boil mixture for 15 min then add zucchini ...
