A new recipes for banana bread

I found a different version of banana bread that you put cream cheese in.
You can find it here. It really puffs up.


Another recipe for banana bread that I recently found that makes 2 loaves that is also delish.
You can find it here.

I always put chocolate chips in our bread. It makes it more of a treat. I really wouldn't have it any other way :)

Yummy!

We are having Taco Chili leftovers. It is soooooo cold today that we have shivers in our bones.

Back to the soup. The first time I made it we had company over. I figured we would have leftovers for lunch in a day or so later. Nope, it was all gone. Yummy! I first had heard about it by reading a MB, I didn't think of looking into what they were talking about. Then on one of the frugal blogs (Coupon Geek) that I follow posted about it. It sounded so yummy.

I haven't turned back since making it. So easy peasy and yummy!

Sharing time

So I have some stuff to share

My most talented Mother inlaw posted a watercolor painting she did of Cordelia. You have to leave some love for her on her blog.

Here is the painting

I just adore it!!! She took the picture which inspired it when Cordelia was 1 at our first horse show. I loved the picture so much that I did a scrapbook page about it.




My dear friend Karen posted the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever! Here is the link to it, you have to try them!! I will never go back to the "others". Thank you Karen!!! You made a pregnant woman very very happy!!

Have some belly pictures to share, hopefully my pregnant belly doesn't make you run away screaming.

My precious Cordelia kissing her baby brother.

So folks, I am in dire need of help! Share your unique boy names. We aren't really want crazy, wild, out there names. BUT we want something that isn't something that you will see multiple times on a roll call list.

So please! Please! share away!!!


Now on to crafty stuff

I have finally unpacked my scrap/craft stuff. YEAH!!! It feels so good to see all the stuff. I am gonna have to go through it and organize it still. But it is out and about and hopefully it will inspire me to get scrapping again. Heavens knows I have missed it all.







I found some glass jars (are they considered hurricane style?) that I thought would be great to store my ribbon in. I need to find some more because I have a feeling I will be filling them up fast.


I also have taken on a project of making a Valentine's Day wreath. Hopefully I will get it done before the holiday happens.



My next midwife appointment will be tomorrow. If there is any updates I will post them.
Well, I don't think I can sit here anymore. Baby boy is kicking in all ways. Time to get moving.

Have a great week everyone!!

Some yummy food for ya

I have had this recipe for over 10 years. Maybe even over 15 years. It is so yummy!!! I would make it more often but my dear Eddie doesn't like onions. So it has been put to the side. Since I have been here with Susan and Clyde I have made it twice and when eating it I feel like I am on cloud 9.

They are open face tacos, topped with sharp cheddar cheese. A beer is a good thing to have to drink with them. MMMMMMmmmmmm


Chicken Tacos

Boil 3-4 chicken breast- then cut into bit size-put aside
You will need about 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth, I usually use the water the chicken cooked in and just add some chicken broth granules to it

Chop up 1 white onion and a good size clove of garlic

Cook in olive oil until the onions are soft and clear

Add broth, but leave some aside to mix with 2 tlbs of constarch

add the mixture to onions and broth, stir till it thickens

Add salsa (I use Pace picantee sauce the chunky medium style) to the mixture till it turns a pink/red color - sometimes you need to add some more cornstarch after doing this. You don't want it to thick and sure don't' want it runny.

Add chicken and let simmer until you are done with tortillas

chop 5-6 roma tomatoes; 2-3 regular tomatoes you add these right before you serve


NOW onto the corn tortillas



you will need

1/2 cup of corn meal
1/4 tsp of salt
2 tlbs butter melted
1/2 cup of milk
2 eggs
3/4 cup corn starch

Use a small oiled skillet. You want to put a little bit into the pan and make them like you would with crepes. Scoop some, put in the oiled pan and swirl so it spreads out. They cook quickly. Flip over and cook through.

I usually start to make these while onions mixture is cooking and just keep going back and forth between the two.


You will need plenty of cheddar cheese that has been shredded.


How to plate it up

You start with a tortilla, put chicken mixture ontop and then the cheddar cheese. DIG in!!!

Let me know if you try this! I would love to hear from you.
