Spring Break

We're back from our Spring Break Vacation! Check here for some pictures from Nathan and here for a day to day from Thayne. (They've already done all the work for me so why double up on it??)
Have a super day!

Soup for a cold, snowy day...in April

Evenings can get crazy around our house! Coming up with a dinner idea is not my favorite thing to do, but a friend of mine recently gave me this soup recipe that is as easy as opening up a couple of cans. It is so super quick and yummy!

Chicken Tortilla Soup
1 can (26oz. family size) Chicken with Rice Soup
1 can (14-15 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained
29-32 oz. chicken or vegetable broth (box, can, or homemade!)
2 cans (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes
1 cup salsa, your favorite
2 cans (15 oz.) black beans, undrained
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
Combine all ingredients, except for the chicken, in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 10 minutes. Add chicken; heat through. Top with corn chips and cheese.

It's a pretty flexible recipe too, I threw in some leftover corn and rice from the fridge.
**Also if you have a Bosch you should check out this video from the Everyday Food Storage Blog about shredding chicken with your Bosch. I was SO excited! I cooked some chicken, shredded it all up in just a few seconds and packaged it for the freezer to use in this yummy soup later.

Thursday Thought

"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful."  ~Buddha

Buddha is so very wise! Have a wonderful day everyone!
