Virtual Cookie Exchange and Giveaway

When my quilting friend,

Carol of Just Let Me Quilt 

asked if I would like

to join the Virtual Cookie Exchange,

I was a bit apprehensive because,

well, I hardly ever make cookies.

But, My children on the other

hand love to bake.

(I would rather be quilting, 

who knew)

This is their favorite to bake.

Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

I absolutely love Christmas

It is my most favorite time

of the year.

I love to decorate

every part of our home from

 our tree to 

the numerous places to 

hang quilts on the walls. 

I have created several to hang 

about.

Chicken Enchilada Soup

 

On a cold winter day

 

 

 

      nothing is better than

a little soup.  (At least, that is what I think.)

 I generally don't share many recipes,

but I tried this super yummy soup

 that was easy, delicious

and the kids loved it

 

 

 

 

5  (5 oz) chicken breasts– cooked, shredded

1 (15 ounce) can  diced tomatoes, mashed

1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce

1 medium onion, chopped

1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chili peppers

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups water

1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 bay leaf

1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn

 

 

  1. Place all the ingredients into a crock pot.  

(I put mine in a oven safe pot and cooked it for about 5 hours at  350 degrees.)
 

2.  Cover, and cook on low setting for 6-8 hours or on high setting for 3 to 4 hours.
 

3.  Remove and discard the bay leaf from the pot.

4. Serve and add a little shredded cheese, sour cream
and maybe a couple tortilla chips

 

It was delicious.

The recipe is adapted from the Tervis blog,
which I changed up a bit to our own tastes. 
You can check out their version. 
Plus, I LOVE
their products that are made in the USA
and have a lifetime guarantee.
Let's just say I have several.
