New soup for me...

Tonight I was wanting something different..... I had just recently had white bean with chicken chili.  I really liked it. So I was thinking about trying to make it.   I had no recipe so I looked online. Found some recipes that sounded ok.  I just decided to make it the way I wanted it...Below is my recipe, and it is delicious....
White Bean/Chicken Chili
1 Tablespoon of Oil
1 Medium Onion (diced)
2 cans of Chicken Broth
1 can of Rotel tomatoes
8 small chicken tenderloins
1 Quart white northern beans
1/4 to 1/2 tea. rosemary
1/4 to 1/2 tea. thyme
1/4 to 1/2 tea. oregano
Boil Chicken tenderloins until completely done.  While the chicken is cooking , heat Oil in large pasta pan. Add  diced onions. Cook onions until they turn glossy. The pan will have a brown carmel look. To this,  pour in both cans of chicken broth, rotel tomatoes, qt. of white northern beans and the herbs.  Add the chicken when it is done. Let all ingredients simmer about 30 minutes.. Now dip you up a bowl and add a spoonful of sour cream. This makes it delicious..

Have you ever seen a birthday cake quilt? Well I was surfing the net and found this http://cakecentral.com//gallery/1741744 It is cute.  This person must surely have been a quilter. Cute cake.

free ebooks

If you like to read Amish type books or Prairie type romance books, Barnes and noble has the following free ebooks:
The Choice (Lancaster County Series) By Suzanne Woods Fisher
Candle in the Darkness by Lynn Austin
A Promise to Remember by Kathryn Cushman
Heart of Stone  (Irish Angel Series #1) by Jill Marie Landis
An Autumn Wedding by C J Perryman
I found on Barnes and Noble that I had to type in the book name and author. They weren't listed in the free ebook section that I looked under.  This is even better than going to the library and checking out books. Ya have to have them back in 2 weeks and our library is 1/2 an hour from my house.  I have so many free ebooks now that it will be hard for me to get any quilting accomplished.. I'm going to have to get up a little earlier to make some extra reading time...... :) 
Now I am off to do some reading before my grandson of 11 months wakes up from his nap.
Happy reading

baking day.....

Here is what I have been doing today....This is a blueberry crunch coffee cake. Get recipe here.... http://www.goodwifefarm.com/2011/01/blueberry-crunch-coffee-cake.html?showComment=1297538361821  .  Also fresh bread baking .....mmmmmmmmmm delicious.....

Now to get it out of the oven and cool for just a bit. While it is cooling I will set out the butter to get to room temp. so that it will spread on the bread better when sliced... yummmmm  Hubby will enjoy this when he gets home from work.. His only regret will be that he wasn't home when it came out of the oven.. :(
