Make It Monday: Chicken Tortilla Soup

January is here! Are you ready for it? January and I have a love-hate relationship. I love the New Year with a fresh start, but January seems to be the longest month ever and brrrr so cold. The cold makes me crave comfort food, and I don't know about you, but Chicken Tortilla Soup is a fav for me.

Here is my version of it...

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:
2 Cups Cooked Chicken
1 Can Black Beans undrained
1 Can Rotel (you can use original or mild depending on your family's heat preference)
1 Can of Tomato Sauce
1 Cup Homemade Salsa (or you can use your favorite store brought version)
2 Cloves Garlic minced
1 Can Chicken Broth
Cumin (eyeball it)
Chili Powder (eyeball it)
Onion Powder (eyeball it)

Instructions:
Mix all ingredients in the crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Or you can simmer over the stove for a few hours. Top with shredded cheese and Tortilla chips. Enjoy!

So, what's your family's favorite comfort food?

Super Mom!

(I'm using an old pic today because I couldn't get a new one to upload~ugh computers) As I sit and write this post I feel on the verge of screaming, crying and pulling out my hair.Yesterday was our first day back to school and our first day getting back on the potty training schedule. And everything went soooo smooth! The boys studied so hard and didn't complain even once. Addison went potty at least 5 times and actually seemed happy about it. I even baked homemade Pita Bread for lunch. Yesterday I felt like Super Mom!! Then I woke up today... It is early afternoon and my little one is napping and the boys are just finishing up school. And I just want to cry! Why? Well, let's just say today was not quite as smooth and I wasn't quite the Super Mom I felt like yesterday. School was a bit more stressful, more tests, more lessons in diagraming (so glad I'm not in 5th grade), more potty accidents, more papers lost, more messes made and so forth. Really, j...

Faith without Fear

This thought has been on my heart all week, faith without fear. How many times have you stepped out on faith and noticed the trembling inside as you shook with fear? Isn’t it a scary thing to obey the Lord and take that step of faith? Not knowing where God is sending you, how He is going to provide for you, if you are going to get that job offer, if He is going to heal you, if your loved one is going to accept Christ, what to do next… Couldn’t you just tremble with fear NOT knowing??

I had never thought about faith that way, faith without the fear. As you know, this blog is all about my journey in faith but I wo...
