Food
I wrote down a recipe from one of the blogs referred to in this carnival, but now I can't figure out where I got it. So anyway, it turned into a chicken soup kind of thing. The basic concept was boneless chicken breasts, 1 can corn, 2 cans black beans, 2 cans rotel tomatoes, 1/2 packet taco seasoning, 2 cans chicken stock. Simmer in crock pot all day, boom, food. So, I came close. I had a package of non-boneless chicken breasts I wanted to use up. So, the actual recipe used the full packet of taco seasoning [what do you do with half a leftover packet of seasoning, anyway], and a beef bullion cube instead of chicken stock. Close enough. Drained all the cans except one can of black beans. Cooked on high for about 2 hours, then I pulled the chicken apart with 2 forks, cooked it for 2 hours more on low. And added maybe an extra teaspoon of cumin. Not bad. Some tortilla chips and chedder cheese would help, though.
