When it is done, take the chicken off the bones and shred it. Reserve some of the broth.<br />
Put it back into the pot and add the following:<br />
~1 onion, chopped and cooked- you can cook this before putting the chicken back into the pot<br />
~tomato paste<br />
~hot taco seasoning packet (I use McCormick's)<br />
~garlic powder<br />
~tabasco (I put 5-6 shakes)<br />
~enough broth to make it all mix together, but not too watery (I never measure)<br />
Heat it through.<br />
<br />
To make the wraps:<br />
Take 1 flour tortilla and put some chicken onto the tortilla. Top with shredded cheese. Top with a tostada chip. Put sour cream on top of tostada chip. Add lettuce and tomato. Fold tortilla up and put into a small frypan to "grill" (like they do at Taco Bell) it on each side about 30-45 seconds.<br />

My 1st pitcher, I used French Vanilla coffee and regular sweetened condensed milk. The 2nd pitcher, I use regular coffee and regular sweetened condensed milk. The 3rd pitcher, I used Chocolate coffee and fat free sweetened condensed milk. All 3 were terrific, but since I am watching my weight, I will stick with using fat free sweetened condensed milk. I can't tell a difference between the two. This is definitely my new favorite summer drink.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715145703640525036.post-71397338829209907722009-06-22T13:52:00.000-07:002009-06-22T13:54:25.013-07:00Chocolate Chip CookiesRecipe is found here: <a href="http://anewchelseamorning.blogspot.com/2008/01/butler-did-it.html">http://anewchelseamorning.blogspot.com/2008/01/butler-did-it.html</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715145703640525036.post-9287641970053546952009-05-15T06:15:00.000-07:002009-05-15T06:19:42.804-07:00Baked Cinnamon ChipsI found this recipe at <a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2009/04/baked-cinnamon-chips.html">Our Best Bites</a>.<br /><br />All you need are flour tortillas, cinnamon sugar and butter. <br /><br />Brush one side of the flour tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top.

Pour beef broth, condensed French onion soup, red wine and garlic powder into slow cooker and place beef roast into liquid. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Slow cookers have different time intervals that you can select, so work with your cooker. Depending on how the settings on your slow cooker work, the time will vary. Since this is cooking in liquid, you don’t have to worry about the meat drying out in the same way you might if you were roasting the meat in the oven. Take beef out and rest it, covered with aluminum foil, for about 15 minutes. Slice beef and return to slow cooker on low or very low for 30 minutes.<br />Lightly toast the bread and evenly distribute cheese between rolls, if using. Divide beef onto rolls and spoon the beef juice* into ramekins or other small bowls and eat everything while it is hot. Serve each sandwich with its own dip. Seves 4-6. *Note: If there is excess fat in your au jus, simply pour it from the slow cooker into a large measuring cup and let it stand for about 5 minutes so the fat separates. Skim it off, then pour the juice into serving cups.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-715145703640525036.post-52149307829141726182009-01-20T07:33:00.000-08:002009-01-29T09:00:42.749-08:00Buttery Cooked Carrots<a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Buttery-Cooked-Carrots/Detail.aspx?prop31=8">http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Buttery-Cooked-Carrots/Detail.aspx?prop31=8</a><br /><br />These were simple and delicious.<br /><br /> INGREDIENTS <br /><br /> * 1 pound baby carrots (I used regular carrots)<br /> * 1/4 cup margarine<br /> * 1/3 cup brown sugar<br /><br /><br />DIRECTIONS<br /><br /> 1.
