Well, did not get selected for jury duty so life is good. It was fun to watch people go up and give so many different and sometimes lame excuses why they could not serve. Am home and getting ready to make pralines to take to some friends tomorrow night who we eat Mexican food with almost every Wednesday night. Was thumbing through one of my cookbooks last night and came across a wonderful favorite recipe for chocoate fudge pie……will put it under “desserts”. Check it out, it is just delicious. If anyone wants the praline recipe, will be glad to put it on here also, it is just so easy and makes a bunch! Talk to you tomorrow….

Well, it was a great day, went to Fashion Market with two friends, Dianne and Cora and got great deals on two jackets and jewelry. So since I have been gone all day, I was wondering what I could whip up for dinner tonight.  Since we had chicken sour cream enchiladas for dinner, I had left over chicken and sauce so thought I would make that into a chicken green chile soup. So that is what I am doing! It is such a great soup and so easy…check it out,

2 cups chopped, cooked  chicken meat, 1/2 chopped onion, 2 cans of chicken broth, 1 small can of diced green chiles, 1 large carrot sliced thin, 1 cup of chopped celery, 1 boiling bag of rice, cooked.

Cook your rice and set aside. Combine all ingredients and cook over medium heat until onions, carrots and celery are done. Add the rice and cook for about an hour over low heat. Right before serving, add about 1/2 cup sour cream. Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with corn bread or crackers…Had dinner ready in 30 min and purchases out to show hubby! He will be so proud of the money I saved and dinner on the table, is he spoiled or what?

Well, a lot has happened since beginning this project. We have a brand new grand baby boy, named Caleb, we have begun a new Bible Study series in Hebrews at our house on Sunday nights, and I am more inspired than ever, since watching the movie, Julia/Julie last night. So am determined to not allow distractions or lack of time to keep me from building this Site. In fact, we were so excited after watching the movie last night that we came home from church today  and cooked together . That just always makes the food taste better when you are cooking with someone you love.

We cooked bruschetta, with a little spin. We added bacon and it was delicious. Randy “fried” the bread in butter and garlic and it was the best garlic bread we have had.  In fact, this will be a new recipe which I will post to this site. So much more fun than going to Luby’s, which is our usual Sunday stopover. We are both so inspired to put a new “kick” into our “cooking together” program. First time today went very smooth! Tonight we have 18 people coming over for Mexican food. Love these Sunday night Studies, great food and great Bible Study!
