Don't Cook!

I haven't really felt like cooking lately so my post for now is go to Famous Dave's BBQ on Blue Diamond Road. It was AWESOME!!! I loved it. And for those of you who know me ( I'm not real big on meat, especially on the bone) I LOVED the ribs. Their Corn bread muffins are so yummy too.

The BEST Chicken Tortilla Soup -thanks Melinda

I have been craving this soup but it seems weird to make soup when its 90+ degrees outside.

Chicken Tortilla Soup
Melinda Anderson
2-3 chicken breasts
2 Tbsp oil
1 clove garlic
1 medium onion
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
6 cups chicken broth
4 Tbsp lime juice
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp sugar
Tortilla chips
Shredded cheddar cheese
Fry chicken in pan with garlic, shred and set aside. Dice onions and saute in oil. Add everything together in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and let simmer on low 1 hour.
Crumble chips in bowl add soup and then put cheese on top.

Good for Sunday dinner

I love using my crock pot on Sundays so I can come home from church and have good food to eat right away. I think I will have to use my crock pot a lot more during the week. Looks like we will be having Soccer on Monday and Wednesday, Dance on Tuesday and scouts on Thursday. Another reason why Friday is my favorite day!


Country Style Spare Ribs – Crock Pot
Halene Cypers – Mom
1 cup ketchup
½ cup water
2 Tbsp brown sugar
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
2 Tbsp vinegar
3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ Tbsp mustard
Brown ribs in skillet (boneless country style spare ribs)
Place in crock pot with onions.
Pour sauce over meat.
Cook on high 3-4 hours, low 6-8.

I usually make mashed potatoes with this. The sauce makes a yummy gravy.
