tortilla soup

By
2 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes (I usually blend mine up in the blender so there are no offensive tomato chunks)
2 cans water (fill up tomato cans with water)
1 (4 oz) can green chilies
2 cups frozen corn
1/4 tsp chili powder
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp cumin
6 chicken bullion cubes
4 beef bullion cubes

corn tortillas for tortilla strips

Saute chicken, onion and garlic until onion is translucent. Add everything else to the pot and simmer as long as you want (at least an hour). This also works great in a crockpot.

To make tortilla strips, cut the tortillas in 1/4 in strips, lay on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Serve the soup over the strips with cheese, sour cream, avocados etc.

This is a really yummy, thick soup with a lot of fun flavors.

I tried this today since it was so cold and wet outside. It was SO yummy! I actually prepped it and had the sitter make it while I taught lessons. So easy!

Dilly Beans

By azandersens
This is my mom's famous recipe for canned "dilly beans". She uses fresh dill grown in her backyard. You'll like them if you like pickles. There is never a Dunaway function without them. Wash fresh green beans and snip off the ends.  Put 1 clove garlic and  1 head dill (when it reaches the seed stage) in a pint-sized jar, then pack the jar tight with as many beans that will fit. Brine: 2 c. vinegar 2 c. water 1/4 c. salt - no iodine! 1/4 t. cayenne pepper Heat brine & warm lids. Cold pack in water bath & boil for 10 minutes. If you're like me and have never canned before, that may have sounded like Chinese, but I'm posting it for my canning guru friend. I think someday I'll get there. I would guess there would be a time to wait to make sure the pickling process was complete, but I don't know how long that would be.

Baked Beans

By azandersens
So what if nobody has posted in a year and a half? I got this recipe from my cousin Carolyn and needed to type it up. I really love the contrast of the different beans in this one. Great for bar-b-q's and potlucks. 1 lb ground beef (I did not include this. To me, putting ground beef in baked beans turns it to chili.) 1 lb bacon 1 onion, diced 1 15 oz can butter beans, with liquid 1 15 oz can red kidney beans, drained & rinsed 1 15 oz can pork & beans 3/4 c brown sugar 1/2 c ketchup 2 tsp apple cider vinegar 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Brown bacon and drain. Cook onion in some reserved bacon grease. Combine the rest of ingredients and pour in a greased casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 350 for 1 hour.
