Had some great chili tonight! David - you did an awesome job -- loved the chunks of real beef in it! Michelle - the rest was great too! Thanks for a great meal and for only $4.00! Do you share recipes? I love Wednesdays for a number of reasons --- the week is half over; we get to go back to church to study God's Word and often share a meal with one another before the study - and I get to read Lee Vickory's Food section in the Tyler Paper. She even published a Taco Soup that I had done a couple of days ago - except the recipe called for Black beans. Travis would not like that -- the only way he will tolerate them is if I season them up with enough onion, garlic and cheese that he thinks they are Pintos! Her section today was very interesting as one of her articles asked "What Makes You Happy?" Well - Many things make me happy: Wednesday's make me happy -- and I've already told you why -- but there are other things too! My family, spending time with them, especially hanging out with my sister, shopping with Michelle, my dogs make me very happy (except for last night when they tore up the roll of tolit paper and then I laughed), and I love doing things for others - whether it is cooking for them, giving them a gift (I wish I was extraordinarily rich so I could help so many more), or just encouraging someone -I guess I am happiest when I feel good about what I've done - when I know I've done a good job, but my greatest happiness comes from knowing I have a Savior in Jesus Christ that loves me!
Now to cooking and the promise I made the first of the week - simple meals that will get compliments! This will probably be the most simple recipe I will ever give - but a delicious one!
Chicken Tacos
Ingredients: 3 or 4 skinless and boneless chicken breast 1 Jar Rose City Mild Hot Sauce*
Grated cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, avacados** 1 Pkg. tortillasa - corn or flour - your choice
Directions: Place chicken breasts in crock pot and pour hot sauce on top. Cook 1 hour on high and then turn to low. Cook about 4 to 5 hours until chicken is tender and you can shred with a fork. Remove chicken and shred - return to juice - Heat tortillas and fill with chicken. Add other ingredients to taste. **they are optional! NOTE: If you don't own a Crock Pot or have the time - buy a rotisserie chicken, shred it, put it in a sauce pan, pour in the hot sauce and simmer about 30 minutes!
* Rose City Hot Sauce can be purchased at Walgreen's at Broadway and Rieck or Broadway and 5th Street. It is great - but you could use any good Salsa you buy! Easy and delicious - I promise!! Serve with some beans or rice and you have one good meal!
Tomorrow night I will give you another easy recipe - one we've been having for years - Pork chops and apples!
There was some really bad weather and we were very blessed to have been missed by the storms. I just pray all of you were safe and didn't suffer any damage. Just think how scared we were when the alarms started going off - and then think of the poor people in Haiti and how scared and devastated they are! I heard yesterday the average age there is only 26 years old! I was a mere babe at 26 - how about you? Can you even image facing what they are at 26 or 56 or whatever age. Pray for them!
No desserts tonight - we don't want to get fat! Have a safe evening - and God's Will - talk to you tomorrow!
