I'm just going to go ahead and state the obvious - WE ARE BUSY!
No seriously, we go to work, come home, change clothes, go workout, come out, shovel some food in our mouths then crash. So I cook based on ease; if you could even call what I do cooking (ahem...putting frozen chicken strips and sweet potato fries in the oven).
But, I've been feeling particularly domestic lately so yesterday we had chili and tonight, well, tonight was supposed to be Mexican Tortilla Soup, but that's not quite what happened. apparently I didn't have enough liquid and ended up with a chunky bowl of goodness. It was actually so delicious in fact I'm sharing the recipe below.
Chunky Mexican (No Tortilla Used) Soup
2.5 Cups Swanson's Mexican Tortilla Broth
1.5 Cups Frozen Yellow Corn
4 Tablespoons White Onion (I used frozen)
8 Tablespoons La Victoria Mild Salsa
1 Envelope Taco Seasoning
1 Can Black Beans
9.5oz Shredded Chicken Breast
In a large sauce pan heat on high the broth, corn and onion. Bring to boil, then simmer, reducing down the liquid content to just a smidgen on the bottom of the pan. Add the black beans (undrained), salsa and taco seasoning. Mix together well. Shred the chicken and add. Heat until chicken is hot, by this time there is very little liquid if any at all.

We topped ours with light sour cream and reduced fat cheddar cheese. So Good!
Tomorrow night I've got visions of BBQ Chicken Pizza! Don't expect this experimentation to last long, I got clearance from the doctor to return to my workouts in two days!

Marriage Boot Camp?
Has anyone else seen an advertisement for this show? I was sitting her watching the WE channel marathon of Law and Order and there was a commercial for it. People were screaming at each other, one woman even said "there's only one way out and its death" as in she'd kill her husband.
What the heck? Since when did people working out their marital differences air their dirty laundry on television? I feel sad and sorry for them; even a little embarassed, but that doesn't last long considering they would have had to give consent to be on the show anyway.
Because I was so unfamiliar with this show I had to look it up...if your curious, here's a linke to the show. CLICK HERE
Here is a snippet of what the site says "Marriage Boot Camp features five outrageous Bridezillas and their husbands living together in the same house to endure an extreme marriage boot camp in an effort to work out their marriage demons and answer the burning question - Is their marriage worth saving?"

Basically they are put on national television to live out two weeks of their lives as they are deciding if they will stay married or divorce. How crazy!
There is no such thing as perfect, I get that, but holy moly this seems like a recipe for disaster. I would never in a million years go on television to hash out martial issues. Would you?
