Soup Recipe...

Today I made Minestrone soup in the crock pot (with David's help too). It was very flavorful and great for a relaxing Sunday afternoon!

Zesty Minestrone

1/4 cup Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
1 cup chopped Onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (19 oz) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans (14 oz each) vegetable broth
2 cups water
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 1/2 cups small shell macaroni, uncooked
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

How to make it:
Heat dressing in skillet on medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots and celery; cook 2-3min or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Pour into slow cooker. Add tomatoes, beans, broth, water, and Italian seasoning; stir. Cover with lid and cook on low for 6 hours (or high for 3 hours). Stir in uncooked macaroni (I added extra shells because David and I both love noodles); cook 10-15min or until macaroni is tender. Sprinkle with cheese just before serving and enjoy! Serves 4.

The battle fields

David had a laugh at this saying

SO...after spending a couple hours at the battle fields, David said he would take me to the outlets!! Knowing that you get to go shopping after learning about history makes me want to go to Gettysburg all the time!

Recipe of the week


Thanks to my friend Megan P. I tried a new recipe called "White Chicken Chili". It was so yummy and so easy (the 2 most important things to me when I try a new recipe). Give it a try...


In a slow cooker mix and add:

1 cup copped onion

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 can (14oz) chicken broth

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 1/2 pounds skinless chicken breast or thighs


Cook for 4-5 hours on low. Once chicken is no longer pink, pull apart chicken into shreds.

Add to the slow cooker the following:

2 cans (15oz) great northern beans (rinsed and drained)

1 can (15oz) yellow corn (rinsed and drained)

3 tbs lime juice


Cook 15 min or until beans are hot. Serve with Corn Bread, Sour Cream and Cheese. ( for an extra touch sprinkle fresh cilantro on top of chili) Serves 4 people. ENJOY!
