Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
Poor Neil. He doesn’t subscribe to the theory that soup can be considered a meal. It never used to be an issue between us, but somewhere in the last year, I went and became a soupie. I’ve been seduced by these steaming bowls of goodness. Where once I was of the mind that the only [...]

Definitely had a more “balanced” day today than I have been having.

Salsa Chicken Soup
I don’t have a whole lot to talk about today, so how about I share another recipe? This one is actually a few recipes in one. I call it Salsa Chicken Soup, and it has its basis in leftovers. Gotta love that.

Carrie of Sommer Designs started a Dinner Challenge group on Flickr. The idea is to get out of the supper rut and give each other ideas for new meals to prepare. That’s a goal I can get behind. I recently started planing our meals a week at a time again, and giving [...]
