Chicken Tortilla Soup

This is the BEST Tortilla Soup you will ever eat.... Its seriously AMAZING!!! mmmmmmm! but you have to make it according to directions... once you think you are all bad ass and start "substituting" is when you jack it up... so be a peach and just follow the RULES! My Grandma I think got this recipe from the newspaper... but I am not sure!! All I know is its so good and Easy to make !!

Cooking time: 45 minutes


1/2 c. Chopped Onion
1 clove garlic
1Tbsp butter
* Saute all together
about 2c shredded chicken
1/2 can Homony or corn
3 1/2c. Chicken Broth
1/4c. Cilantro
1 Tbsp ground Oregano
1- 14oz can Diced tomatoes
1- 8oz can tomato sauce
1- 4oz can diced green chili's (drained)

optional: add carrots & cabbage

Topping: shredded jack cheese and tortilla chips

What I do is get a big soup pot, saute the onions, garlic, & butter then just add all the other stuff in after the sauteing is done! then I let it cook on low heat for 30 minutes then I serve in bowl with shredded jack cheese and some tortilla chips! I also add avocado if I have one around! MMMM so yum!

Chicken Cordon Bleu

The first time I have ever had chicken cordon bleu was like a month ago... and I made it. My boyfriend was complaining about something we ate (aka something I made) so I threw a fit and said " well if you don't like it... find some other F-ING recipes that we can have" like I said before yes... I am a brat... but. coming from someone who just eats the food and doesn't prepare it he was crossing the line... besides he normally loves everything I make so I was mad at him... you know... since I literally sweat my ass off every time the oven goes on.... in his tiny apartment that isn't up to code and doesn't have a stove vent... so if you could imagine... it gets hotter then a popcorn FART!
So he was on a mission to find something better then what we ate... and he did... WAY BETTER.... Swiss cheese and ham make me feel like vomiting... like literally... but with this combo it is DIVINE... and pretty much orgasmically good... (judging by the face my bf makes while eating it...)
So I read over the recipe and I sort of.... um... don't follow the rules... plus I cut everything in half since its just me and ding dong eating it. and yeah... its pretty easy... I get the ham and cheese from the deli at the grocery store, I get baby swiss cheese because... its not as... um swiss-EY I guess...I roll the ham and cheese inside the chicken and then put a piece on top, depending if Juan has decided to eat the cheese even though I told him 3 freakin' times " I only got enough swiss to make that dinner YOU picked out"... I buy the chicken already filleted ... but sometimes its still not as thin as I want it to be.... so I beat it with a tuna can in a plastic bag, hey girls gotta do what a girls gotta do! Another thing I don't "sprinkle" anything... I put the bread crumbs on a plate and put the chicken in the plate coating both sides with bread crumbs (no I don't use egg just the chickens own juiciness). Plus I don't wait to put the cheese on top... Actually I just realized that was on there when I copied the recipe to my blog... ooopppss... so do it however you would like!


See what I mean... the last little baby one is missing cheese! My favorite part is he acts like he has no clue... um... who ate it then? the only mouse I see in here is YOU!!!

Juans rating: ***** Five stars!

Rosemary Chicken

I know the picture makes it look sort of yuck... but I took it on my I phone and the photo quality is not so great!

okay... so my mom got this recipe off T.V. a long time ago , I am not sure what her name is but she is tall, beautiful long brown hair, english accent.... looked like a super model...I don't even know if she is on T.V. anymore... anyways... this is seriously the easiest and yummiest moist chicken ever!! I actually made it today for Juan and I, he gave it 5 STARS (I make him rate everything I make for him)!! but he said he thinks I should have marinaded it a little longer so it tasted more like rosemary.. ( well if you want it to be exploding with rosemary flavor... go chew on a damn rosemary sprig...) okay... wow did that just come out of my mouth??? CARRY ON... so this is what you need

1 gallon zip lock bag
1 whole chicken cut up with bone and skin (you can use how ever much you want as long as it has the bone in)
6 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon (don't throw the lemon rind away)
1 Red Onion
2-4 sprigs of fresh Rosemary
Salt to taste (I'd say 2 tbsp)

So you take your gallon zip lock bag and throw in your chicken, then quarter your onion throw it in the bag, add Olive Oil, add rosemary ( I strip the leaves off and then throw everything in, stem and all), half your lemon, juice it in the bag and then throw the lemon in the bag as well... then add salt... then you ziplock the bag and shake it all up... The longer you marinade this the better. I say 24 hours is perfect flavor... You can also pre-make this and freeze it! It really is so good! The chicken just melts in your mouth! I added red potatoes but I suggest you NOT... since they were still hard after I cooked them.. Also don't use a whole chicken because it takes forever to cook thats why I said "cut up". Then I just dumped everything in a casserole dish and added 1 cup water ( not suggested if you want your chicken browned) so it would be extra juicy... served it with white rice, Juan liked all the "juice" poured on the rice. Pretty much its so easy, so good, and can be served with a bunch of things!!

Pre-Heat oven to 350 degrees and cook for 1 hour

A day in the life... Football, T.V., Food...

YAY football season started!!! YAY I am so excited I might jump off a freakin' bridge! to say the least football can kiss my white ass... but guess who loves it... my boyfriend... OF COURSE! but ....YAY Juan doesn't have a T.V. (he has one but doesn't want to go pick it up at his friends house.. thats a whole other story, don't get me started) which means... NO FOOTBALL unless we go to a sports bar and at least I can entertain myself by getting drunk and watching all of the drunk people at the bar and then make fun of them in my head... but that didn't happen. So I am cooking a wonderful dinner for him and all the sudden... my Lap top fires up... So I am thinking.. ok whatever he can go on my Laptop... about five minutes later I hear football commentators... ummm wait WHAT.... i thought there wasn't any T.V.s in this apartment... no... no, no, no... Guess what... my Lap Top... YES I said MY Lap top is now a wireless T.V. that plays the football games LIVE... Did I just die and go to hell??? I mean seriously... my laptop is a WIRELESS FOOTBALL GAME that can go anywhere in his apartment... Juan is THRILLED to say the least... I am cooking so I am okay with it ,because I mean... he missed the Cowboys game (oh boo freakin' hoo) so whatever plus I was busy.... then I don't hear the game any more... thank god! he turned that shit off... wait... where did Juan go??? All of the sudden I hear hooting and hollering in his bedroom... ummm no not his bedroom... in the fucking bathroom... I knock
me: " PLEASE FUCKING TELL ME YOU DON'T HAVE MY LAP TOP IN THE BATHROOM WITH YOU!!!"
Juan: " Yeah I dont want to miss the game"
me: " are you fucking kidding me? you are going to get poop particles on my key board!!"

This is coming from him OF ALL PEOPLE... who gets sooo mad if I leave toothpaste in the sink... and here he is... on the shitter with MY laptop...

So I have come to conclusions... I am in hell... and my boyfriend is out to ruin my life...

I few things I am going to add to my blog: a tutorial of my hair, and also I've decided I am going to start posting my favorite recipes I make and share pictures and the recipe! I will then have a link on the side with all of them listed... what do you think of that?? I think it sounds wonderful! because some of the things I make are super super easy and also SSOOO good!
