EASY Soup

I have friends that work at Trader Joe's, (I like to bag my own groceries and pretend I work there too), so when they told me about this really yummy chicken tortilla soup I knew I'd love it. Mark isn't a huge soup fan - he eats it but doesn't LOOOOOOOOOVE is as I do, so I make it for lunch and then eat off it for a handful of days. What makes it even awesomer (just to continue my overuse of the word 'awesome') I use chicken that Mark cooks on the grill. We're talking GOOD chicken. Just so we're all clear - I realize this is more "opening, pouring and heating" than actual cooking, but I'm ok with that.

TJ's Chicken Tortilla Soup

Organic Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Soup (that's your base)
One can of Organic Black Beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups of Fire Roasted Corn, it's in the freezer section ( I really like corn, so I put a lot in. All of the measuring in this is to your preference... it's FAIL PROOF, can I get an amen?!)
Chopped, cooked chicken. I use about 2 cups? I have no idea.
Salt
Pepper
Hot sauce (We like the Jalapeno Hot Sauce, from TJ's of course)
Cilantro if you have it.
Fresh lime juice. (You can totally make it without this, but I always miss it when I'm out of limes),

Heat and serve with cheese, avocado, tortilla chips (or Fritos if your a Twin), sour cream and all of your other favorite tortilla soup fixings. It's so simple, I know, but seriously every time I eat it think I have GOT to share this recipe people! So there you go. Enjoy!

Ok, so I am not a soup eater either, but I think I want to make this! hahaha--it sounds like my kind of soup. I wonder if my kids would eat it? Probably not, but that's my life. ;-)

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
