Slow Cooker Barbacoa and Plantain “Crackers”

This is a great recipe for meal prep to use all week in various ways. You can eat it with rice, tortillas, salad greens, or with plantain “crackers”. I came up with this plantain recipe to try and cut out some of the oil, frying, and mess of making plantain chips. These go in the oven so there is no mess, and uses very little oil! Don’t forget topping meat dishes with fresh herbs and citrus juice, cilantro and lime in this case, can take a dish from ordinary to extraordinary!

Sicilian Chicken Soup

I’m not going to lie, this soup takes a while to cook. You’re going to want to use canned broth, please don’t. This is phenomenal when you make your own. It’s not a lot of active prep time, but your hands will get a little dirty. You’re going to be ok, you’ll make it through, and your family is going to be super impressed when it’s done I promise! Plus, you can eat off of it all week…..if there’s any left after dinner 😉
