Pink Lemonade Cookies

These are new from Pillsbury, just mix, bake, frost and eat...so delish!



Anytime Egg Burritos

This is a family favorite, my boys love these and they are so easy for them to just pop in the microwave, heat and eat.

fajita size flour tortillas
scrambled eggs with a little milk and butter
picante sauce
shredded cheese

additional ingredients to add in if you want:
browned breakfast sausage, bacon pieces, diced veggies such as bell pepper, onion and mushrooms, etc. You can pretty much do whatever you like.

In a large non-stick skillet, I add a little milk and butter then my eggs and scramble.
I take a tortilla, add some cheese, then eggs, then picante sauce and either heat and eat right then and there or I wrap in individual snack size bags for heat and eat Anytime of the day or night, store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or in the freezer for a month. You can thaw out and heat a few seconds at a time so you don't over heat. Ours usually don't last long enough to freeze, lol.



"My kids love it" Chicken Tortilla Soup

My kids aren't big on vegetables, go figure, lol, so I came up with this new version of my chicken tortilla soup, without a lot of veggies and they love it.
It's super easy and super delish.

1 carton of chicken broth
2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 cups of water
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons dried cilantro
1/2 can diced tomatoes w/garlic and onion
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 pkgs. Tyson Southwest flavor chicken chunks
shredded cheese of your choice
diced avocado (optional) my kids like theirs without
tortilla chips

Add all ingredients except avocado, cheese & chips into a large soup pot or sauce pan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve over crushed tortilla chips and top with cheese and avocado. YUMMO!!!
