My Little Photographer

Amir is my little photographer. He LOVES when he gets a hold of my camera. Here are a few pictures that he has taken. I love them.

4th of July Photo's

 He was a bit scared of the fireworks.

 Our fireworks. We should have waited until it was completely dark to do them.

 Ha.

A quick video of another evening of fireworks. Everyone walked away uninjured. For the most part. I think my favorite part of the evening was when something landed on Rich's foot and all we could see was his foot dancing around with something on fire on it. HA! Too bad I didn't get THAT on video.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Since I have been pregnant everything has gotten harder. Including cooking for my family. So I thought I'd share a super easy and super yummy recipe that my sister in law gave me a while back. This has become a favorite in my home. Even more now that I'm carrying baby #2.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

2 Carrots, chopped
1/2 cup Onion
2 Chicken Breasts
1 clove Garlic, pressed
2 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin
2 (14 oz) cans Chicken Broth
1 (14 oz) can Stewed Tomatoes
1 Jalapeno, chopped
1 (4 oz) can Green Chilies (fire roasted are my favorite)
4 tsp snipped fresh Cilantro (optional)
1/2 cup Shredded Cheese
1 can Refried Beans
1 cup Corn
4 Limes, sliced
Fritos
Avocado

Heat pan over medium-high heat. Spray with Pam. Add chicken; cook and stir 3 minutes or until no longer pink. Add onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, carrots, corn & jalapeno. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in refried beans, tomatoes and chilies. Add broth last. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes (or until carrots are tender)
Put fritos in a bowl, cover with soup and sprinkle with cheese.

Garnish with cilantro, lime and sour cream. (optional)
