empathetic monsters

Good grief...

knitting monsters is slow going - 

Eyes, ears, arms, legs!

All on circular and double point needles.

I have to say I love the colors I have chosen for them...

sage green and lavender...mmm

butter yellow and bright pink.

I have two granddaughters impatiently waiting for them,

the pressure is on.

Thought I would share a favorite slow cooker recipe of ours.

Sante Fe Soup with Melted Cheese

1 lb. Velveeta cheese, cubed

1 lb. ground beef, browned and drained

15 1/4-oz. can corn, undrained

15-oz. can kidney beans, undrained

14 1/2-oz. can diced tomatoes with green chilies

14 1/2 oz.- can stewed tomatoes

2 Tbs. dry taco seasoning

corn chips, or soft tortillas

1. Combine all ingredients except chips or tortillas in slow cooker.

2. Cover. Cook on high 3 hours.

3. Serve with corn chips as a side, or dip soft tortillas in individual servings in soup bowls.

We like this year round...        b
