Gotta Check Out This Pie!

I was reading Slice of Pink's blog recently and she was talking about this awesome pie - Banana Carmel Chocolate Spice Pie! I made it a couple of weeks ago and it is delish! I didn't get a picture it was gone so fast...but she posted a picture and the recipe on her site. Here's the link... http://sliceofpink.typepad.com/blog/2007/07/banana-caramel-.html

When I read the recipe I thought, "that sure is a bunch of different flavors" but, I tried it and all my friends really enjoyed it! Its a cinch to whip up, too -- which I like. If you try this sweet treat, let me know what ya think!

I'm going to go to Slice of Pink's blog and tell her what a hit it was!

For those Cold Winter Nights - Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Hardest part - opening all the cans and shredding/cutting up the chicken once its cooked enough in the crockpot- enjoy!

2 Big cans (14 – 16oz) of black beans
1 big can tomato sauce
2 big cans tomatoes
1 cup salsa
6 or 8 big green chilis cut up into nice size pieces or small can Ortega diced green chilis or about ½ of a big can of peeled green chilis if you get the big cans
6 to 8 pieces of chicken tenders or four boneless chicken breasts (I prefer the breasts to tenders)
1 can of corn or preferably a frozen bag of sweet corn.

Pour the beans with juice into a crock pot; add chicken tenders (can be frozen; or boneless chicken breasts) add everything else except for the corn and cook for 7 hrs. Take out the chicken and cut into chunks then put back in. Add 1 can of corn and cook another hour. Serve over tortilla chips, with grated cheese and dollop of sour cream on top. Cornbread or a leafy salad is good if you need a side dish with it!

Leftovers heated up on stove or microwave are yummy, too!

If I had a digital camera I could show pictures...note to self: gotta get a digital camera!
