It took me a few days, but I finally used the last of Sunday night’s rotisserie chicken in my lunch today.
BBQ Chicken Pizza on a Tortilla
This was just a tortilla slathered with bbq sauce, chicken, mushrooms, pineapple, and blue cheese then toasted under the broiler for a few minutes. Simple, yet delicious.
Other meals that came from that one chicken?
- Plain Ole Chicken
- Chicken Sandwich
- Blue Cheese, Pumpkin Butter, & Chicken Quesadilla
- Sweet Potato with Chicken & Salsa
- Chicken Stir Fry
- BBQ Chicken Pizza
That’s a total of 6 meals! AND not one repeated meal. Not bad. 
Some asparagus on the side rounded out the meal.
I <3 Halloween!
As I posted yesterday, I was one of those kids who Trick or Treated well into her teens. I loved dressing up and going door to door for candy, just as much as I loved dressing up in college and going door to door for beer. 
There’s something about putting a costume on and pretending your something else for the evening that just screams good time. (I think this is also why I love themed parties)
And it’s not just the dressing up part either. It’s the whole spirit behind the holiday!
From carving pumpkins…
To being scared out of my mind at Halloween Horror Nights…
To stuffing my face silly of all things pumpkin flavored…
Halloween is just awesome!
With that being said, the big mystery remains… what do I have planned for Halloween this year?
I hate to say it, but nothing. 
Between running a marathon, training for another marathon, traveling for work, celebrating birthdays, and trying to keep my sanity; October somehow escaped me and the spirit of Halloween went with it.
2010 marks the first year I haven’t carved a pumpkin (and have no desire to), haven’t been to Halloween Horror Nights, wasn’t invited to a Halloween Party, and won’t be dressing up in a costume. (of course I’ve had no problems stuffing my face silly of all things pumpkin flavored )
It seems so strange. I mean, I LOVE Halloween, how did I let it slip through my fingers? and why don’t I care more? Sure, I could seek out a pumpkin to carve or dress up and find a random bar to celebrate at, but honestly I don’t feel like it. I would much rather stay at home in my PJs and snuggle with Derek and Maddie. I’m exhausted and sadly Halloween is just one of those things I had to ‘let go of’ this year.
I’m sorry Halloween! I promise we can hang out next year!
In the mean time Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner and I PROMISE to not lose the spirit for either of those!
Family, Turkey, Stuffing, Peanut Butter Balls, and Pie! I’m alllllll over it!
