New recipes!
1/2 onion, chopped
1 can black beans
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 8oz. can tomato sauce
12 oz. chicken broth ( I used one bullion cube and 12 oz. water)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 pkg. taco seasoning (I used about 3/4 the pkg)
2 Chicken breasts (I used one big one and there was plenty)
Shredded cheddar cheese, Sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips are an optional, per serving topping!
Place everything but the chicken (and topping ingredients) into a crock pot. Stir in taco seasoning. place chicken breasts on top. Cook for 5 hours on high. Shred chicken, put back in soup, and serve! This recipe makes a lot!
I'm also trying to make some cinnamon roll muffins as we speak ... I'll let you know how they turn out!
ps. still no news from DC :(

From the mouths of babes
Now that I work with kids, it seems that at least one thing every day makes me want to die laughing. Today I had one little girl on such a roll that I just HAD to write them down. Just so you get the picture, this girl is 4, with a halo of golden curls, big blue eyes, bright pink coverall snow pants, and about 100 pounds of attitude. When I correctly guessed her name (thanks to the office computer) she stared at me in shock and said “I’ve never even come to here before!” I replied that I was magic. Later on I had to remind her of my magical abilities and she stopped midsentence, her eyes widened with understanding and she replied,
“Oh Ya! You can see me... But Santa can see me more.”
Other quotes from her (that probably only I will find funny) include:
“Once you have the dentist toothpaste you can’t eat for like a zillion minutes. Like 5!”
“My brother is 11. And he could kill somebody”
“I have an anchor in my mouth!” (said with her tongue pushing against her front lower lip … she meant she had a canker)
Me after a comment about how her alligator toothbrush smelled like grapes: “Do you think all alligators smell like grapes?” Her: “No. They smell like poop.”
“I’m going to bite your butt!!!” (luckily she did not succeed;)
Anyway I hope some of those made you laugh, because for the full 2 hours she was in the office, she had me in stitches.
