When looking at costumes this week both the boys wanted to be skeletons for Halloween.  They loved that glowed in the dark, so I knew I would not be able to make.  Today I bought these skeletons costumes for the boys.   Grady says the are cute in the light but in the dark they glow and are scary.

Then went for nice walk around the LSU lakes with Portia and Eleanor.

Crock Pot Santa Fe Crispy Chicken Wraps

24 oz (1 1/2) lbs chicken breast
14.4 oz can diced tomatoes with mild green chilies
15 oz can black beans
8 oz frozen corn
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
14.4 oz can fat free chicken broth
3 scallions, chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)
salt to taste

*Makes 6 wraps*

1 cup cooked rice, warm or at room temperature


2 cups shredded cheese (I used a combination of monterey jack and sharp cheddar)


Sour cream (optional)

6 burrito-sized flour tortillas

Combine chicken broth, beans, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt in the crock pot. Season chicken breast with salt and lay on top. Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Adjust salt and seasoning.

Mix rice together with Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken.

Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken and rice mixture down the center of each tortilla. (Optional: on some of the wraps, I dotted the cheese with about 1-2 tablespoons of reduced fat sour cream before arranging chicken and rice mixture down the center – it made the wraps delightfully creamy.) Roll stuffed tortillas, leaving edges open. Spray the tortillas all over with cooking spray.

Heat a large non-stick skillet (or griddle) over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange 2 wraps, seam-side down, in pan and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve.
