Paci-Pops

A mini-post about a mini-popsicle...


My daughter LOVES popsicles. Obviously letting a one-year old hold her own popsicle would result in a huge, sticky mess, so we created paci-pops yesterday. Put equal amounts of juice and water in a small container (I used the lid of baby bottle, worked perfectly), just enough to complete cover the nipple of a pacifier. If you haven't guessed by the last statement, place pacifier, nipple down, into the juice/water. Freeze and serve.


Still a little messy, but what isn't messy with a one-year old?!

Best Snow Day Recipe Ever {Seriously!}

Several years ago, while living in another neighborhood, we received three snowstorms, back-to-back.  The result was no work, no school, limited cable and lots of boredom! Prior to the snowstorm, I stocked up on the ingredients needed for White Chicken Chili {and Bloody Mary's, but that is a whole 'nother story}.  This delicious cheesy chili was all it took to win the hearts of my neighbors. In some cases, it created friends for life. So next time the weather channel predicts record amounts of snow (or just a tiny cold front), pick up these items and invite some neighbors over for a cup! TRUST ME, it will be a big hit {they will beg you for the recipe...but don't give it away - ha ha}.

White Chicken Chili

3 cups chicken breasts, cooked and chopped

2 cans great Northern beans, drained

2 cans cream of mushroom soup

1 can of Rotel tomatoes (pick your spice level - I go Medium)

1 can chicken broth

2 cans shoepeg corn, drained

1 (16-oz) pkg Velveeta cheese, cubed (the Mexican version works well too)

1 large onion, chopped

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp ground cumin

Saute onion in butter until tender. Combine all ingredients and place in slow cooker for 4-6 hours. Serve with Mexican corn bread. 

Yummy, yummy, yummy its so good in your tummy.....
