Meet my personal chef. Her name is Crockpot Versaware. She’s been in the family for about 3 years and I have come to rely on her heavily throughout the week. She specializes in soups and stews and other one-pot meals. Tonight she is cooking a Chicken Taco Soup. Until today, it was a super top secret recipe. However, I persuaded her to give me permission to share it with the lovely seven people who read this blog.

CHICKEN TACO SOUP
1 onion
1 tbl olive oil
2-4oz can chopped green chilis
1 -2 pkg taco seasoning (to taste)
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 cans diced tomatoes
6 cups chicken broth (low sodium, low fat)
2 cans Black beans (rinsed)
2 cups cooked chicken (or more to taste)

*Toppings—-cilantro, Monterey jack, tortilla chips

(note: add all juices of canned items if desired for extra flavor, but rinse the beans)

DIRECTIONS: Add all ingredients and cook for at least 6 hours on high.

Enjoy! And if you have any suggestions regarding how to persuade your personl chef to clean up after dinner, I’m all ears.

P.S. OR this recipe might have come from a super sweet friend who brought me a big pot of soup while we were all sick.

I create fun and colorful flashcards for children. When you do that long enough, you begin to see the world as a series of flashcards. Sometimes they are funny. Sometimes they are warm and fuzzy. Sometimes they are mildly innappropriate. Come see the snark at The Flashcard Zoo Blog.

I used to be an opera singer living it up in NYC. Now I am a SAHM in Dallas starting a business making amazing custom flashcards for preschoolers. I decided I would rather sing in my shower and have a home business than sing in an opera house 1000 miles away from my family. My sugar-daddy is a computer consultant. I gave birth to Munchkin 1.0 in July of 2005 in less than 3 hours with no meds. WOOHOO! It's my claim to fame. AND I taught my husband to squeegy the glass after every shower with no pain meds...although it took longer than 3 hours and was much more painful. I don't really care for cats...they're too moody and I don't like that much competition. (There is only room for one diva in this house.) I like dogs as long as their bark sounds like "WOOF" and not "yip". I hate wearing make-up and only do so when I am auditioning or otherwise need to impress people who might give me money. I cook a full breakfast every morning complete with pancakes or waffles or French toast with sausage or bacon and eggs...all organic, of course. I'm weird that way. OH, and I also live in the cul-de-sac, which is French for "the house with the huge backyard".
