Chicken Tortilla Soup
(Thanks to Beth Lattime)
For a 3 quart crock pot
1.5 lb chicken, cooked and shredded (I usually cook 3 boneless, skinless breasts in the oven for 40 mins. and then throw them in the crock pot…it’ll shred on its own after awhile).
1 10 oz can of enchilada sauce (in the Mexican food section)
1 14oz can of diced tomatoes (plain or garlic is good)
1 4oz can of green chilies (in the Mexican food section)
1 Medium onion, chopped
2 Cloves of minced garlic
2 14 oz can of chicken broth
½ teaspoon of cumin
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of salt
¼ teaspoon of black pepper
1 10 oz bag of frozen white corn
1 tablespoon of cilantro
Sprinkle oregano, parsley and red pepper to taste.
Throw everything in the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Good to freeze for later.
Tips for toppings:
Shredded parmesan or cheddar, sour cream, diced green onion. Brush veggie oil on tortilla chips and bake them in the oven for 5 mins. So they don’t get soggy in the soup! I like Fresh Gourmet Tortilla Strips, Santa Fe Style (by the croutons).

I don’t mind fish. I really like salmon baked on a cedar plank, and tuna salad – I love fish and chips.
However, I hate anything that tastes or smells fishy. I don’t know which kinds of fish are more likely to have that smell and taste – or if its a certain way of packaging/preparing before buying that makes fish more likely to taste like that.
I stay away from making fish because of it, but I would really like to eat it more and try different kinds.
Any recipes or tips on buying fish?

Concerned About What’s in your Commercial Pet Food? Try These Homemade Cat Food and Treats

Every day lately, it seems there is another pet food recall, warning dog and cat owners not to feed their pets different brands of foods. This is getting scary. Who knows which pet food will be recalled next. Though I am still using the kibble my cats normally eat, I am now supplementing my pets with a few homemade recipes. These are not meant for feeding your pets forever, since I”m not a vet or nutritionist but they are good for filling their furry tummies while we wait out the lowdown on the canned foods, which seem most affected by these pet food recalls. Here are the basic recipes I am using, don’t add other ingredients unless you know for sure that they don’t hurt your pets. We all know chocolate is off-limits to pets, as are other foods such as onions. Stick with these ingredients, which seem to be pet safe, according to pet experts I’ve read about.
Homemade Cat Food
2 cups ground chicken, lean beef or turkey, thoroughly cooked and diced;
4 cups rice, cooked in chicken or beef broth;
1/2 cup potatoes, ground;
1/4 cup spinach or carrots, ground;
1/4 cup green beans, ground;
2 tbsp melted butter;
dash of garlic powder
Mix everything together in large pot or bowl. Make sure it is completely cool before feeding to your cat. Store in covered container in refrigerator.
Homemade Cat Treats
1 1/2 cup oats, ground;
1/4 cup butter;
1/2 cup flour;
1/2 cup chicken broth;
1/4 cup cubed or shredded American or mild cheddar cheese -or- shredded chicken
Mix all ingredients together, form small cookies and bake on greased cookie sheet until done at 350 degrees. Roughly 25 minutes but check as ovens vary. Do not overcook.
Our pets deserve food that is safe, so hopefully, this current pet food crisis will alert the authorities to make sure they buy quality products and be more careful of what they put in their pet food recipes. Cats have specific nutritional needs so don’t feed them any of these recipes on a long term basis, as I do not know the breakdown of nutritional value for them. But, by using fresh, healthful ingredients, cooking the meat thoroughly and storing the food you make in the refrigerator, it can help to tie your kitty over until it is safe to go buy food at the store again. Enjoy.
