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...

Love is in the details!

Ahhhhh it's time for Valentine's! Not just your pop out the box and tear on the fold,  but something fun.....something with some POP! Now would be a good time to mention that my youngest child is 15 and has NO desire for Mom to make any Valentines.......POP or not! But..............my God Daughter is 7 and she is game for it and has the enthusiasm to get me cutting and ribbon curling on a Saturday!! We decided on pencils because her class has the "write" stuff.......of course! and wanted to give some candy too............I mean, pencils are great but 7 year olds want SUGAR!! (this is sooo up my alley!) Added a DIVA pic and a personal note on each and they were looking HOT HOT HOT! (is it right to say that a classroom Valentine project is HOT? hmmmmmmmmm......I think it's ok) Now.....these are looking good and ready to go but how does a little Diva get them all the way to class with no mishaps? Hmmmm.............and at no additional cost? And without run...
