Thought for the Day


"Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."

- Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Yum-O

Well, I made a hit of a soup for the kiddos! Thanks Jen for the recipe! I even Sneakified it too. :)

The original recipe is Tortilla Soup, but I really don't have the time to make my own tortilla's into strips and then crisped up in the oven. I just added corn tortilla chips and the kids liked that!
Plus, I also used green taco sauce instead of the normal red salsa.
Sooooo...

Spicy Shamrock Soup :)
1-2 lbs of chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
2 cans of chicken broth
1 cup of green taco sauce
1 cup of corn

Cook the chicken breast and then cut into bitesized pieces. I cooked them with some salt and garlic. Then add the broth, taco sauce, and corn (we didn't use corn, but I put in about 1/2 cup of green puree*). Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of cheese and tortilla strips or tortilla chips. I was thinking it might need a little something more in the soup, but not sure what. Maybe some rice or hominy. If you have any advice, let me know. :)
*The green puree is from The Sneaky Chef and is basically a puree of brocolli.

The kids are on their 3rd bowl as we speak!!! It is a huge hit with them. I'm not sure if Bret will like it or not. We'll see later.
Oh, and Jen - I think I might try thickening it up for another meal and serving it over the Fry Bread.

Hey you, how are you? I was just reading your post about mountain dew.. I can kind of relate because Kelly is addicted also. He's always going to "quit" but he never really does.

This soup is yummy.. My recipe is a little different but we love it and serve it at our Halloween Party every year.. in fact, I just made it yesterday for Kelly's b.day
