Back Home

Image result for oklahoma signs


It's been awhile since I've posted.

One might think that we haven't been eating! 

While we surely haven't been trying new recipes or being creative in the kitchen, we have been maintaining a caloric intake!

What's really been going on is that we've been in the process of moving!

"Process" is a long word!

And so is "moving!"

In late Spring, we put our home on the market and it sold rather quickly.

That was the easy part!

The Mr. took a month off between job changes; we had hoped it would be a time to unwind.

It was anything but that!

Since June 1st, we have:
  • made inspection repairs on our Dallas home
  • cleaned our Dallas home when we moved out
  • met movers to pack our Dallas home
  • moved into temporary housing
  • moved out of temporary housing
  • cleaned our temporary home when we moved out
  • gone on vacation
  • started homeschool for the cherubs
  • bought a house
  • cleaned the new house so we could move in
  • painted rooms at our new house
  • took a Labor Day get away
  • started looking for a new church home
  • had fun hanging with family and friends in Oklahoma
  • gone to several fun events as apart of the new ministry we work with
  •  . . .and this past weekend, we met movers to deliver our belongings
This means that we are currently spending every minute we have to unpack!

We are beyond excited to be "back home" in Oklahoma;  I can't wait to get settled! 

I'm ready to get back into our "home routine!"

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
