Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Do you ever have one of those days that you just know you're not going to have much time to devote to dinner? But you still want to have a nice home-cooked meal? I know I do. The prep time on this soup is under 10 minutes. Can't beat that! It is great served with fresh lime juice, a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, etc.
Use tortilla chips to scoop up the soup or crush them and sprinkle them on top and enjoy!
My favorite are the Hint of Lime tortilla chips, but you can use whatever floats your boat. Or forget the chips and just use a spoon. It would still be yummy!

Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup
modified from Jon and Jen Miller

1 frozen boneless skinless chicken breast
1 can Ro-Tel (I like the lime & cilantro, but the regular is fine)
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1/2 TBSP garlic powder
1/2 TBSP chile powder
1/2 TBSP ground cumin

tortilla chips
sour cream
shredded cheese
guacamole ( my favorite recipe is found in THIS post)

Place frozen chicken breast in CrockPot then add all other ingredients. Stir to mix. Cook on high 5-6 hours or on low for 7-8 hours. Before serving remove chicken from soup and shred. Return chicken to CrockPot and stir to combine.

Serve with tortilla chips, lime wedges, shredded cheese, guacamole, etc.

Enjoy!

Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding (Re-post with a picture )

Does this dessert sound familiar to you? I originally posted it last Summer, but didn't have a picture at the time. I'm excited to be able to post this picture now so you can see how yummy it looks! I first had this pudding at a BBQ last Summer. One bite and I was hooked. This fabulous pudding sits on top of a layer of bananas and is sandwiched between two delicious cookies. Does it get any better than that? Banana pudding didn't used to be something I craved, but it definitely is now. It is Heavenly! Also, it's very easy to make. So try it out sometime. I bet you'll become a banana pudding fan too.

Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies

While I love my Scrumptious Sugar Cookie frosting , Royal Icing is the way to go for decorated cookies that harden enough to stack and package. It definitely takes more time and patience, but the end result is so satisfying! You can make such fun cookies without having to worry about the frosting coming off. Royal Icing can get super hard, and while this is perfect for building Gingerbread Houses, it’s not so great when you want to actually eat the cookie. Not to worry though- adding in a little corn syrup helps the icing dry firm without being overly hard. I also like to add in my favorite butter vanilla emulsion to make the icing extra yummy, cause at the end of the day it’s not enough to just look pretty! There are a few different ways to make Royal Icing. My favorite method is using Meringue Powder. If you can’t find this or don’t want to buy it, you can use egg whites instead. Or, if you’re in a pinch you can make some with just powdered sugar and water. You can find some recip

Brown Butter Caramel Snickerdoodles

If you try one new cookie recipe this Fall, let it be this one!! I'm not kidding when I say that this is one of the best cookies I've ever made. They've already received rave reviews and comments such as, "Amazing!", and "Incredible!" These are not your average snickerdoodle, not that I have anything against the traditional ones, they are made with browned butter and extra brown sugar for a rich caramel taste. But wait, it also has a caramel center! And of course that classic chewy texture with a cinnamon/sugar coating. I could eat these every single day. They are SO GOOD you guys!
