A botched recipe and lack of creativity

So I saw a recipe on another blog today for coconut flour tortillas and seriously I think I was salivating as I looked at the pictures.  I LOVE tortillas and could eat them every day warmed with a little butter....ok, back to the reality of my life now.  I decided to make these, I hype them up in my mind to be the greatest most fantastic thing I will eat this weeks.  Well fast forward 10 minutes I take the tortilla off the griddle and put a little butter on it and it tastes....terrible.  How can this be, the pictures looked so yummy.  Frantically I rechecked the recipe and I doubled the amount of coconut flour, not sure what I was thinking.  Maybe it was the 2 year old hanging on my leg begging me to pick her up or the boys "wrestling" in the living room that I was sure the police would come out because of all the screaming.  Oh, well I will try again, so disappointing. 

My kids and I are getting back on track with the meals.  My husband is at work and won't be home until Friday evening so it gives us plenty of opportunity to clean things up in the eating category.  Tonight's dinner was a quick and easy put together, seriously it took about 15 minutes. 

I buy the chicken breast from Costco, they are so conveniently packaged with 2 breast per package.  I separate each package after I buy them (I think 8 packages in each pack) and freeze them in an old grocery bag to keep them together in the freezer.  Feeding a family of 5 isn't cheap especially since I stay at home and we rely on one income.  Most nights, I butterfly the breasts so that gives us 2 fillets per breast.

Tonight I diced the chicken and sauteed it in coconut oil  over med high heat.  Once the meat was cooked through I added a can of diced tomatoes and let it simmer on low for about 10 minutes (mostly because I got side tracked with the kids and forgot about it....oops :)  My kids LOVED this, they wanted raw carrots as their veggies so with very little prep and cook time they were good to go.  I ate mine with some leftover artichoke tapenade and diced avocado.  I have to say it wasn't they best meal I ever made but it definitely wasn't the coconut tortillas.  Take home point, sometimes the simplest meals will surprise you and Paleo doesn't need to be fancy, or quite frankly creative.
