PINNEDIDIT!!! Chicken Tortilla Soup

By
That's right! I PINNEDIDIT! And OMG was it good! Chicken tortilla soup! Under $10 and under 30 minutes! Say it with me....what, what!! Yep!

There has been a lot of ohhhing and ahhing and a whole lot of Pinning but......I wasn't doing anything. You know, where you put into action what you see....lol. It's a new year and I can't have a year full of would of, could of, should of's. So, dang on it....I went and PINNEDIDIT! Yep....I looked, I shopped, and I did! Here is the skinny................

Peeked at pins......(there are a ton and I hope you make it a ton plus one by pinning this!) Went for ease and speed and came up with this....

Chicken Tortilla Soup

  • 1.5 pounds of chicken breast
  • 1 green pepper, 1 red pepper
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • big spoon full of Jalapenos (and a lil juice too)
  • 1 big ole onion
  • 1 can chicken broth
  • 1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can enchilada sauce
  • 1 can corn
  • salt and pepper (and I like red pepper too!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin 
Shredded cheese, avocado, and tortilla chips make this a WINNER!



OK, cook your chicken. You can boil, bake, or grill. Just don't overcook it. Needs to be ready to shred. In a rush? Rotisserie baby! Soften your peppers, onions, and garlic in the bottom of your stock pot and then just start dumping! (I know.....these are not engineer friendly directions but that is really what I did) 

Cook for 25 minutes and eat! YUMMY! Add a few toppings if you like! Want dinner when you get home from work......Dump it in the crockpot. Come on! This is so so good! Don't just peek.....PINNEDIDIT for yourself! Real talk!

Cracked, Jacked Ottoman is now Newest Addition to the Family Room! Check her out!

By
Ok peeps....my neck and arm feel like they may be forever in pain but I think it was worth it! The family room ottoman is complete!!! Woop! Before I give you the deets......a lil background... I hate replacing things I already have! Oil changes and air filter replacements? HATE! New tires? HATE! It feels like such an investment for something you already have.....I know....gotta do it but I hate it! So after 7 years my beloved (and expensive) leather topped ottoman had started to peel. Yup. Nasty! I ignored this for a few months. Even pushed her into the corner for my annual Christmas Eve party. (Nobody puts baby in the corner!!!!) Then as it started to really bother me I started looking for a new table. Problem was.....I really like the one I have! Of course I find one that is out of this world fabulous! This baby here can be yours for $1600. Even if I hit the lottery I wouldn't pay $1600 for a coffee table. (OK, let's be serious....if I hit the lottery that scrumptious...

Experience is your best Teacher!

By
Every time my kids do something that raises my eyebrows or that I know is a mistake my husband will always say, "Experience will be their best teacher!" As much as I hate to agree with him, he is right. I started thinking a lot about this saying and decided to shift some of my own habits. If experience is your best teacher, well......I needed to focus on creating more of them. Now more than ever I realize the importance of spending time and doing things not just having things. This is a difficult task for me, I mean, I still count the number of gifts under the Christmas tree to make sure there is even distribution. Ha! But really, shirts shrink, and flowers fade....but the memories of a great experience last forever! Imagine my delight when I was given an Appetizing Adventure, Experience Day as a gift from my fantastic work team. It was like the universe talking to me. Oh boy! You can grab a gift for someone, like yourself here! So on the rainiest day ever (ok, maybe ...
