• 1 T Garlic Powder

Harissa Eggs in Purgatory

This is a great breakfast meal or even better a breakfast for dinner meal! I found Harissa at Whole Foods and Mariano's (you can also find it online) it gives this dish a slight kick. If you want more of a kick you can purchase it in spicy but I have not done that yet. This is such an easy dish that I found on skinnytaste that it can be made for a weeknight meal or for a weekend breakfast when everyone wakes up at the same time. Eggs In Purgatory is a dish that the eggs are poached in tomato sauce instead of water so there is no waste! This can be served over a crusty bread, rice, quinoa or my favorite hummus. I made a garlic hummus that paired perfectly with this once I make it again I will post that as well I have also served this with Sweet Potato Fries which I am posting on Wednesday. Each serving contains one poached egg and one fourth of the sauce.

Salsa Verde Chicken Southwestern Stuffed Baked Potato

Potatoes are so versatile, you can create just about any type of meal you want from the. This one is a meal by itself or a half can be paired with a salad or another side dish. I found a recipe on Laaloosh and combined it with a recipe on SkinnyTaste and made it a few weeks ago.

60 Garlic Chicken

I have seen quite a few different 40 garlic chicken recipes but they never seem to feed more than 4 people. So I adapted a recipe from SlenderKitchen to create 60 Garlic Chicken!!!! (Their recipe states 6 servings but only includes two thirds of a chicken breast and dividing them up is not easy so this recipe serves 6 people with 6 chicken breasts. If you are planning on making this recipe I would recommend having a Garlic Peeler or purchasing Peeled Garlic. I did this by hand the first time and it was not fun. The dish was still worth it though. Many of my chicken dishes you can start with frozen chicken in the crock pot this is NOT one of them.

*Note: We make this dish the day before and reheat it in the oven and the flavors are even better!
