Yummy Tortilla Soup

This recipe is from one of our favorite resteraunts...I've made it twice in past 2 weeks! Love it!

Gristmill Chicken Tortilla Soup
Chicken Breasts
3 cans of chicken broth
1tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1tsp. Garlic powder
1/4 tsp.pepper
1 can Rotel
Cilantro
Onion

I usually use 3 chicken breasts, two handfuls of fresh cilantro, and 1/2 to 3/4 of an onion (whatever you like). Sometimes I buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery and use it instead of cooking chicken.
I also add a can of hominy (drained) to it.
Put in the crock pot and cook for about 3 hours.


I put tortilla chips in the bottom of the bowl and put cheese and avocado slices on top!

Over the weekend....



Over the weekend, my personal assistants and I painted! We worked all Friday night while Derek worked a high school playoff game and all day Saturday while he prepped for the Texas State game. They stand right next to me while I work and when I get the camera out, they sit and pose. It's hilarious! Saturday morning, I made a loaf of Lemon Poppy Seed bread for breakfast! Kennon called and I was talking to him in the bedroom and when I came back, Petty had helped himself to the bread- more than half the loaf. He can get anything off the counters.
