White Mexican Chili

This recipe was thanks to Pinterest. It turned out great! We loved the cream cheese and chicken together. Add the flavor of the Rotel and it's quite a chili!

 

You'll need:

2 chicken breasts (still frozen)

1 can Rotel (Original)

1 can corn kernels

1 can black beans (I used soy)

1 pkg. Ranch dressing mix

1 T. ground cumin

1 t. chili powder

1 t. onion powder

1 8 oz. brick cream cheese

 



 

Start by placing your frozen chicken in the bottom of a greased crockpot.


Dump in your Rotel.

 

 

And then your corn.

 

Drain and rinse the beans. Toss those in! 



Then add the Ranch dressing mix. 



(And now my favorite part!) Add the cumin.

Inhale. Deep. Ahhh... 



Then add the chili powder.

 

Lastly, dump in the onion powder and stir. 



Drop on the cream cheese chunks. Cook on low for 6 - 8 hours or high for 3 - 4 hours. Right before serving, pull out the chicken breasts and shred them. Dump back in the juice and let sit for a few minutes. 

 



Serve with some drop biscuits and enjoy!

Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies

Cookies, cookies, cookies. I think that should be a song. I love my cookies! (Actually anybody's cookies) Back to my main point of this post. Chewy Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies. 

You'll need:

2 cups flour

1 t. baking soda

1 t. baking powder

1 t. salt

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

2 t. vanilla

3 cups old-fashioned oats

1 1/2 cups raisins

Let's get started by mixing our flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set these aside.

Now mix the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Cream these really well!

Then mix in the flour mixture. Don't over-mix or you'll get a tough cookie.

Then dump in the oats and raisins. Gently fold in!

Drop onto greased cookie sheets and bake at 350* for 11-13 minutes. Pull out and let them sit on the sheet for about 2 minutes to finish cooking through.

Cool and store in air-tight containers. 

Enjoy!

Almost A Year In Pictures

Today, because it's Friday and I'm bored.. I wanted to share some pictures from this past year with ya'll! Some you might have seen before, others you haven't. (There's alot of 'em.. So if you just want a quick glance, I'd forgo reading this one 'till a little later!)

 "One sheep. Two sheep. Three sheep..."

 "What?!? You with the camera again?!?"

 This was when our corn field was underwater (as was everything around our place!)

 Wheat harvest.

This is my lil' buddy from VBS!

 These pics were from corn harvest.

 I was bored. So I canned lots of apples. I needed help... Badly..

 Fish fry!

 This was when I was helping the guys tear apart some old train box cars. It was very, very dusty. But fun!

"Hey cuz! What's up?"

"Chocolate-Oreo Pie. That's what!"
