Happy Turkey Week

What will be on your menu for Tom Turkey Day? Im still preparing my menu. It will be a relaxing but thankful day. This year I am thankful that my Lovey will be home to spend the day with me. We have not spent thanksgiving together in 4 years. I usually treat it like a day away from work. But this year, I will make a small turkey breast, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, cranberry sauce and dinner rolls. Dessert will be pumpkin squares from a WIlliams Sonoma Recipe! Ill be sure let you know how that turns out. They had samples in the store a few weeks ago and they were delish!

Here is the recipe:

Muirhead Pecan Pumpkin Butter DESSERT SQUARES

1 package yellow cake mix; set aside one cup
½ cup butter, melted
3 eggs, large
1 jar of Muirhead Pecan Pumpkin Butter
2 tbsp milk
1 tbsp flour
2 tbsp sugar
¼ cup butter, softened
1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350° F. Divide yellow cake mix, placing all but one cup in a mixing bowl. Stir the melted butter and one egg into the cake mix. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9" × 13" pan. Mix the jar of Muirhead Pecan Pumpkin Butter with two eggs and milk. Pour this result over the cake mix. Stir the reserved cup of cake mix with the flour, sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon. Mix together until crumbly. Sprinkle over top of the pumpkin layer. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Cut into "2 squares. Serves 24.

Wishing you and your family a Happy Turkey Day!

Chicken Enchilada Soup

Today I made soup in the crockpot! I love my crockpot bc it makes cooking so simple!

Chicken Enchilada Soup

1 lb chicken breast

1 can chicken broth

1 can enchilada sauce

1 can crushed tomato

1 can chopped green chiles

1 cup of water

1 bag of frozen corn (i used a can)

cumin, salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste, approx 1/2 tsp ??

I also added a dash of cayenne, and hot sauce :) I like the KICK!

I put it all in the crockpot and let it cook away. After a few hours, I took the chicken out if the crock and shredded it up. It pretty much falls apart and put back into the pot!

I garnished it with a dallop of sour cream, shredded cheese, and tortilla strips! Do NOT leave out the tortilla strips, this is a must.

Let me know if you try this soup and what you think!! I loved it! And this little guy,

Well he really wanted to be mommys little tester but, It was way too spicey for him :) Sorry Eli!

Hope you are having a Happy Sunday!
