Green Chili Soup

Yummy I love this soup

1 lbs. of what ever meat you like.... I usually do what is on sale or no meat at all

6 potatoes peel and dice

2 7 oz cans of green chili (do what you want depending on what you like)

1 onion

4 tablespoons of chicken bouillon

3 bay leafs

1/2 tablespoon of pepper

1 1/2 cups of cheese

a bushell of cilantro

put your meat, potatoes, green chili, onion, bouillon, pepper and 1/2 of the cilantro in your pot and than fill it 75 % full of water.... let boil...when the potatoes are done add the cheese and keep stirring until it is all melted and then add the rest of the cilantro and let simmer for about 15min and then it is done!

I put more cheese on top when I serve it and I eat it with a tortilla or chips!

Chicken-Ranch-Tacos

Bake taco shells according to package directions.
This recipe is good for 10-12 tacos.

3 C. cooked chicken, chopped in bite sized pieces - I microwaved a few chicken breasts for this.
1 package (1 oz.) Old El Paso taco seaoning mix - I used a generic brand.
1/2 C. Ranch Dressing

Mix the chicken and taco seasoning and microwave 'til hot (about 2 min.), then stir in the ranch dressing.Stuff shells with meat and top with your favorite taco toppings (cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, etc.) You can also drizzle a little more ranch dressing on top. Then you feast!

Yummy! Cauliflower Soup

I just made this soup for dinner. It's easy! I must admit that I altered the recipe just a tad. I'll review in just a second and get back to you.

I am stuffed! I thought is was very tasty, creamy, and too hot to gobble up... my tongue is a little scorched. :( Thankfully not burnt or I would look like this />{o} ....just goofing.

I followed PW's recipe pretty close, although I don't usually measure. I added some ham chunks and sauted that with the veggies. Mel thinks it would be better with picnic ham...saltier I guess but what does he know he double salts everything and besides that he has a terrible head cold! ;)

The veggies were probably chopped up finer than PW's because I didn't use a knife...that was fine but next time I will leave the cauliflower chunkier. Cheese would also be nice and next time I may have to make it NM style...green chili, anyone?

Pick the name--------

Gallbladder Woes....

Sorry Cadie, but this old woman needs to pass this tip along.

We know the fifth food group is butter and other high fat content foods. If your gallbladder is starting to give you fits...try taking 1200 mg. of lecithin with your meals. I don't leave home without it!

That way, when we publish the blog, hopefully labeling will make things easier. Thanks.

Twice-Baked Potatoes

I guess that I can start off the blog! Apperently Cadie requested this recipe, so I'll start with it, and maybe I'll get a picture to add later.

1.Scrub and bake medium to large sized potatoes and bake in the oven till soft.

2.Cut in half lenth-wise and scoop the insides out into a bowl or an electric mixer, set aside the peel shells for later.

3.Add butter, a splash of milk (to get the "These potatoes are so creamy" comment!), and whatever you like to have on your baked potatoes like, sour cream, bacon bits, salt and pepper, etc.

4. Mix all together and blend the potatoes until smooth I really like to use my kitchen-aid to do this!

5. Scoop potato mixture back into peels and top with cheese, then bake at 350 until cheese is melted and potatoes are hot!

I don't have much experience at writing recipes, so if any of this isn't clear let me know and I can re-write it!
