What's For Dinner? Easy Chicken Soup


2 more days until spring!
So what's with the sniffles and the coughing?!!!

It never fails.

Just when we think winter is on the way out and
beautiful weather is on the way in....
it snows and then we all catch a cold.

Such is life in the Rocky Mountains.

So for dinner it's Easy Chicken Soup to the rescue!
It's mild for tender tummys. It's hot, comforting food.
It's good for what ails ya.

And it's easy.

Who likes to cook when they don't feel good?
I don't.

That is how this recipe was born.
And it makes a ton so you don't have to worry
about what to make for lunch the next day.

So throw it in the pot and snuggle up in your warm blanky.
Dinner is done.

What's For Dinner? Sweet Sweet Chili & Sweet Corn Bread




What's for Dinner?
I get this alot.

More times than I can count.

They may not want to talk about their day,
what happened at school or at work.

But they're always ready to talk about dinner.

When the answer is:
Sweet Sweet Chili and Sweet Corn Bread
Their reply: Sweet



This is a very mild and sweet chili.
It can be spiced up with onion, garlic and
maybe some oregano, if desired.
My kids like it just the way it is.

I like to make the Sweet Corn Bread in
Heart Shaped Muffin Tins.



There is a funny story behind these.
The first time I made them a couple years ago,
I was so excited with how they turned out.
I turned to my son, Jonny, and held them up
and said, "Look what I made!"
The muffins went flying 
off my platter and behind the stove.
Jonny laughed.
I cried.

But now we all laugh.
Because, even though I tried my best
to retrieve all the muffins,
I know there is at least 1 petrified muffin
behind the oven that somebody will find oneday.
And they will know that someone in this household
baked with love ♥.
