Pulled chicken taco soup.

  This pulled chicken taco soup was inspired by my youngest who, each and every week, begs for tacos.  I thought I would put a little spin on it and make my carnivore family a lovely little taco soup with pulled chicken.  I had a board meeting and sadly missed it but my husband’s report … Continue Reading »

Veggie & black bean salad. Vegetarian.

  My vegetarian friend Brooke, made me a salad similar to this years ago and over the years I’ve revamped it and made it my own.  I can honestly down this entire, very large, container in one sitting if I needed to.  I did help myself to 3, yes 3, helpings at dinner.  Consider I … Continue Reading »
