I'm back...sort of.

I gave myself a little time off with the arrival of our little baby and am now trying to catch up on life and blogging etc.  Things are a little crazy around here still and we are all a little sleep deprived so if this post isn't written or thought out too carefully I hope you will humor me.  :)  

In apron news....I am excited to announce that we will be having an apron announcement tomorrow and that we will be having an apron giveaway with it.  We have all been waiting for this for too long now.  So we will try to get these in your hands as quickly as possible.

We are facing one problem with this apron.  I am having a hard time getting it onto the website and getting the price to show up right.  So for now we are going to have to use pay pal and email to communicate orders on this apron.  This apron will be for ready made orders only.  I am not creating a kit or pattern on this apron (at least for now).  And depending on the number of orders I receive, I will ask you kindly to give me a little extra time to get all of them fulfilled and in the mail.  

I will repost these details with the apron tomorrow along with a more clear ordering strategy.  I hope that you have had a Happy March...I can't believe it is already time for April!!!  The months seem to fly by right now. 

And in keeping with Monday traditions here is a Recipe I think you are really going to enjoy! 

White Chicken Tortilla Soup

 (ingredients are in BOLD)

2 chicken breast (or 2 cans of canned chicken breast)

½ teaspoon cumin

3 ½ cups water

½ teaspoon lemon pepper

4 chicken bouillon cubes 

Simmer the ingredients above for 20 minutes, then remove chicken, cut into small pieces, and then put back in water. (if using the canned chicken you don’t need to simmer this long and you can skip cutting the chicken up into pieces) 

1 large onion (I use one bag of frozen onions)

2 gloves garlic (I use the already chopped garlic in a jar) 

Sauté above ingredients and then add onions to the pot with the broth and chicken. 

Add to the pot: 

1 package frozen white corn

½ can chopped green chilis

1 teaspoon cumin

1 tablespoon worstchesire sauce

3 cans great northern beans

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon sugar 

Continue to let simmer until the desired consistency and beans are cooked. 

Serve with: 

Tortilla chips

Chopped green onions

Sour cream

Chopped tomatoes

Grated cheese

Avocado 

This soup is delicious!  It takes a little extra effort...what with all of the chopping that has to be done, but it is SO worth it in the end.
