The second it turns cooler, I cook my Tortilla Soup

Its my absolute favorite of all the soups I make. Here is the recipe in case you would like to try it....

Tortilla Soup

3 boneless chicken breasts, cubed
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 onion, chopped
4 oz chopped green chilies
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 can mexican stewed tomatoes
1 can peeled tomatoes
8 oz tomato sauce

Simmer on low for an hour. Serve with tortilla chips, shredded cheddar, sour cream and bacon bits. I have never used bacon bits but need to try it sometime.

This is just the best soup ever!!!

50 degrees in September?

Aaaah, it feels wonderful outside!! It was 50 degrees when I woke up this morning. I immediately made myself a cup of hot chocolate. The first of many more to come this season!! LOL I just wish it would stay this cool but I know its going back in the 90's this week. Oh well. It will be soon enough (that's what Charlie says, he hates cooler weather)

Its always sad when a pet passes away.

This is for Katherine, Ricky, Josh and Amber. Their dog Holly had cancer and she had to be put to sleep yesterday. She was only 4 years old which is so young!! ((((hugs)))) go out to all of them during this very hard time.

I am getting ready for my first craft fair on Oct. 2nd

If you are local, you can find me at the Harrisburg United Methodist Church from 9-3 on Oct. 2nd. I am selling my washer necklaces for $5 each. I have made about 100 so far and I hear they are expecting about 600 people to come to it. Its their 20th year so I bet the same people come year after year. I have about 30 different ones. Do you like them? Do you think these are a good variety? I would love to hear what you think.

Happy Birthday Nathan

My nephew Nathan turns 18 today. Seems like just yesterday he was born!!
