Trick-or-Treater's

My cherub and his friend, Coleman.
My cherub went to the Fall festival
as a middle schooler . .  . creative!
Our little friend went as a "plain cowboy."
"Plain Cowboy" is 5 years old!

There you go!
My cherub and her friend;
"plain cowboy's" big sister!

My cherub has worn this skeleton outfit since
she made it in kindergarten!
I'm going to say that this was the last
year of sporting it out in public!

Her friend was "Princess Elizabeth."
Elizabeth isn't her name  . . .but she
said if she were a Princess, then she'd
be "Elizabeth!" 

After the Fall Festival at church
we came home and changed into different
costumes and went trick-or-treating
in the neighborhood!

Someone asked my cherub if she
was a housewife!
"No, I'm a girl who just got up!"

Walking down the sidewalk, my cherub
said, "I don't even know what a housewife is!"


My cherub stuffed his check full of
sunflower seeds . . .see?


You may wonder why we change clothes?
Because this momma has carried
pieces of "must have" costumes
around one-to-many Fall Festivals
in my lifetime. 

My rule is this:
"if you won't wear it, I won't carry it."
So for many years now, my cherubs have
just worn something fun and easy to
romp around on those bounce houses.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken;  cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
