Sorry I didnt post earlier Xiris sweetie - I was trying out the new bed ::winks::

Spicy Veggie Soup

1 box chicken or veggie broth

1 large can diced tomatoes

1 can Rotel (spiciness up to you)

1 can pinto beans (or whatever kind you like, I prefer pintos and I prefer Goya brand)

1 can corn

2-3 adobo peppers, diced (more makes it spicier duh)

1 medium onion, diced

1 medium potato, diced

diced carrots to taste (I like a lot)

2 stalks diced celery

Throw it all in the crock pot and cook all day on low. Add diced cooked chicken if you like, or put the raw chicken in at the start of your cooking time.

Lately I've been leaving out the Rotel and just using another adobo pepper and we like it just as well

My Not Fancy Chili

1 pound ground turkey, browned and drained

1 large can diced tomatoes

1 large can crushed tomatoes

1 can pinto beans (or whichever bean you prefer)

1 diced onion

1 small can diced chilis (spicy or not as you prefer)

2-3 T chili powder, or to taste

1 t cumin, or to taste

Put it all in the crock pot and simmer all day. I tend to add a lot of Tabasco to my bowl, but I don't put it in the chili--it just tastes better to me this way. You can add jalapenos for more fire, and I'm thinking next time I'll add adobos

Xiris' Pulled Pork Tacos (based on a recipe from Real Simple)

1 32-oz jar of salsa

2 T chili powder

2 T dried oregano leaves

2 T unsweetened cocoa powder

2 1/2 pounds boneless pork butt (I used boneless pork chops, and only about a pound)

2 cans refried beans (NOT the original recipe but what I did tonight)

Throw everything except the beans into the crock pot (doesn't come close to filling a 4-quart pot FYI) and cook on low for about 7 hours (4-5 if you do it on high). Take the pork out and shred it. Add it back to the pot, stir in the beans and serve either on corn tortillas or else with corn chips. YUMMY, and Tainish could actually taste it tonight with his bad cold.

Nawt's famous Tater Chowder: <I don't measure things so ...>

5lbs potatoes any variety. (I prefer the red's and I leave the skins on them. Yellows I do peel)

1 large red or Vadalia Onion.

Celery (I use the whole stalk unless it is very large then probably 3/4.)

Boil the above until the taters are fork tender.

Drain half the liquid.

Add milk and butter. (Generous amount of margarine actually.)

Slowly melt in 1 large block of velveeta cheese. Stir often as it will stick or scorch and yes, use the entire block of cheese. Trust me!

Once the cheese is melted through, add fresh parsley and cook until parsley is no longer raw. Keep stirring

Salt and pepper to taste.

Thicken with instant potato flakes to your desired consistency.

For the men, you can crumble bacon over the top if they feel meat deprived.

Enjoy.

Well since we post so many recipes lately... lets keep them to one thread!

Chicken Taco Quiche

Got this from a Simple and Delicious Issue

Ingredients:

* 2 unbaked pastry shells (9 inches)

* 2 cups cubed cooked chicken

* 2 envelopes taco seasoning, divided

* 2/3 cup salsa

* 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

* 8 eggs

* 2 cups half-and-half cream

* 2 tablespoons butter, melted

* 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies

* 1/2 cup sliced ripe olives

Directions:

Line unpricked pastry shells with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 400° for 4 minutes. Remove foil; bake 4 minutes longer.

In a small bowl, combine chicken and one envelope taco seasoning; spoon into pastry shells. Top with salsa and cheese. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, butter and remaining taco seasoning. Stir in chilies and olives. Pour over cheese.

Cover and freeze one quiche for up to 3 months. Cover edges of remaining quiche loosely with foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 33-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

To use frozen quiche: Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before baking (do not thaw). Cover edges of crust loosely with foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 70-75 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 2 quiches (6 servings each).

You can do sooooo many variations too! We had ours with Sourcream and extra cheese

Tasty Corn Chowder

Ingredients:

1 box of Chicken or Vegetable broth/stock

2 cans of cream of corn

1 large bag of frozen sweet corn (More or less depending on how chunky you like your soup)

one small onion

2 medium potatoes

1 tbsp butter

1 green or red pepper diced(optional)

diced cooked chicken (optional and as much or as little as you want in your soup)

about one small carton of heavy cream (or half and half if you want it to be a little leaner yelwink.gif)

Start by sauteeing the onion in the butter, when the onion is tender and translucent add the broth and the potatoes peeled and cubed

on medium high heat cook the potatoes until they can be easily pierced with a fork

add the rest of the ingredients except the cream and cook about 10 minutes on medium high

Turn down the heat and add the cream.

Dont forget to stir VERY often with the cream in the soup or you might just burn it!

Let the soup come to a soft boil and then bring the heat back down to allow for some thickening while it simmers. Just remember to stir!

Salt and pepper to taste and enjoy with some nice crusty bread =)

And you do have BAD GAS ::gags:: Surprised you havent blown yourself up between smoking and farting =p

From my experience it takes a little longer then you'd think to get the authenticators - but for free shipping what else can yah expect!

::cheers:: Well done guys - as you upgrade more and more the DPS will only get better! I think I might have screwed up your plans for tnight tho >.> I already ninjared Kieranna and Jasena for SAnctum and Vault on New Years... forgot you guys go on Mondays ::blush:: so sorry

Oh yeah - Verissi and I are addicted to it so we often will laugh on TS because of what is playing... join our insanity!

Then try Split Infinity Radio! It is radio for gamers by gamers

Not for those who have morals or dont like cussing

Due to lack of tankage and healing - gunna see if I cant get this rolling for another 10 man so more Crushers can get geared up - hopefully you can all springboard this to a 25 man a little later once more Crushers and our friends make it to 80!

So far I have over half a raid in interest - and those are just folks who check forums. 15 people without myself (as I will more then likely not be attending I just wanted to make sure that other Crushers are provided for)

So if you are interested please get in touch with me - you dont have to be 80 now - just keep in mind that there are only a few weeks left until I want to start everyone out - just so I can give your fearless leader a crash course in herding cats =)

After the new year I am looking to put together a Crusher and Friends 25 man sanctum run - Probably on Wednesdays around 8pm server time. Hoping someone will step up to lead it after I head out on maternity leave but looking to see what kinda interest we have - if we have Wintergrasp at the same time there is always the Vault as well.

Just let me know if you are interested!

Dabu =) I am just shocked that Kat actually made plans all on his own for a family night out =)

Mom sent me this and I laughed my arse off. Hope you get a kick.

Hahha I wish - more like he just wants me if I am near

REally should have handled that differently - if Kat would have handed him to santa and I wasnt in range of his eyes he woulda been happier =p

:dancing_smile: :bunny: :bunny: :bunny: Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
