Well, yesterday we had a snow day, which was quite boring for me, because J had to work all day :( but it was full of relaxation! We had to go to work at normal times today and man-- was it cold! There should be a law if it's 7 degrees out no one should be able to leave their house! We were pretty low on kiddos today too!! Yesterday I received a recipe for taco soup from Barbie, my Weight Watchers leader, and decided to cook it for supper today! It is sooooo yummy! I'm including the recipe, plus additional items I added are with a star! I'm all about fast and easy, so I use everything canned, dehydrated, etc! 

(not my pic...I couldn't find my camera...)
Taco Soup
1 lb lean hamburger browned ~OR~ 2 chicken breasts grilled and shredded
1 can of pinto beans
1 can black beans*
1 can corn
1 can Ro-Tel with green chilis
1 can stewed tomatoes*
1 can tomato sauce*
1 can tomato paste (or ketchup)*
1 beef bullion cube*
1/8 t Cumin*
Onion
Garlic
1 packet taco seasoning
1 packet ranch dip mix
**DON'T drain anything!**
Directions: Dump all in crock pot and add about a cup of water and cook on low for 8 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove lid and cook on low for 1 hour. Serve over tortilla chips, if desired, and top with cheese and sour cream!

**We haven't eaten yet, but I've tasted enough to know this is yummmm-tastic and a sure fire way to warm your tummy!**

  1. My aunt makes an almost exact replica of this soup! Instead of corn, she adds hominy, which is delish in this soup! There's been a few times that she's added both! Great recipe! Num, num, num ♥
