I love me some good cornbread, especially some fluffy sweet cornbread… the sweeter the better! But if I’m not going for some sweet cornbread, I love me some spice — green chiles or jalapenos; they’re both delicious. My grandmother has been making jalapeno cornbread for as long as I can remember and it always makes [...]

This past weekend we kept my 2.5 year old niece for three days. It was her first weekend trip without her parents to see us and it went remarkably well minus naps/bedtimes which took 40 minutes – 1.5 hours as she cried and defiantly tried to climb out of bed and bargain for just one [...]

I love love love mexican/tex-mex food. A few weeks ago I was on a very serious mexican food kick. Enchiladas, quesadillas, burritos like every night of the week. Hubby asked me to please not make enchiladas again. haha! I’m usually really big on variety but I can’t get enough lately! Maybe its all that homemade [...]

I have been on a serious mexican food kick lately. Hubby finally had to tell me he was sick of eating enchiladas. I’ve been enjoying making a big batch of enchiladas on the weekend and putting them in the fridge ready to go. Coming home & throwing them oven = easiest meal ever! I’ve been [...]

This recipe is my easy,  weeknight , time crunched, crowd-pleasing salsa recipe. This recipe is almost my Aunt Jana’s recipe. Her recipe actually calls for garlic powder but after multiple attempts with the powder we’ve decided we prefer fresh garlic but if you happened to be out, use about 1 tsp of powder. This is [...]

I’ve already blogged about Roasted Tomato Salsa before. That recipe is still our favorite. But I wanted to give this recipe a try since its faster to whip up and we love us some good roasted salsa goodness. We really enjoyed this salsa when served on day 1, but the roasty goodness was actually too [...]

The first time I saw this recipe, I knew it would be a winner. For starters, one of my favorite bloggers Elly blogged about this delish meal. Second, you really can’t go wrong with this blend of ingredients. I love ancho chile powder!! I actually stopped buying regular chile powder about a year ago. Ancho [...]

You don’t know how excited I am to be posting this… I have been trying to make salsa for years. Most of the time the flavor was so intolerable we’d throw out the entire batch. My cousins who are all college students make fun of me cause they say salsa is so easy that they [...]

This recipe is something I’ve been eating as long as I can remember. Its nothing fancy, and quite frankly doesn’t even look too fabulous. But oh are they delicious! My mom made these a lot for us as kids cause they were super easy to prep on the weekend and stash in the fridge. I [...]

I do a decent job of eating my veggies, but hubby doesn’t. In an attempt to get him eating a little better (and myself really), I’m working on incorporating vegetarian dinners into our meal rotation. We certainly don’t need meat every meal! Tonight it was black bean enchiladas. Hubby did comment that he thought they’d [...]

These enchiladas are by no means authentic, but boy are they good. They don’t exactly photography very well either but some of the best tasting things don’t exactly look all that great Oh and they’re great reheated so they make a great lunch for work! I’m not sure where this recipe originated. My grandmother has [...]

I’ve mentioned how much hubby and I enjoy green chiles. So while we can pick up green chiles at the store, we’ve gotta cook with them! When you buy green chiles, you need to roast them before using them (we do so on the grill)! They’re also very easy to freeze, which is great since [...]

Chicken Tortilla Soup

1 November 2006

I came across this recipe about 2 years ago and I’m not sure where it actually came from… its been saved on my computer since. Its supposed to be a copy cat recipe of the tortilla soup at Trudy’s Restaurant in Austin, Texas which has one of the best tortilla soups I’ve ever had. Its [...]
