Crazy Girl and Yummy food!

Adeline has been hitting her terrible 2's pretty early.... well at least it has seemed like it this week. Also, almost every night she has woke me up screaming bloody murder, and then it takes her forever to go back to bed. About every couple minutes, she has also been throwing a little tantrum about something or another. She is also WHINING, ALL THE TIME. She will just point and start whining. She doesn't even know what she wants and most of the time she is not even pointing at anything in particular. Well, anytime your child acts like this, it is nice to have the excuse that they are teething. I have just thought Adeline was going through a bad stage, and maybe she is. BUT, tonight I felt on the back of Adeline's gums and she just got another molar!! She now has 10 teeth!!! Soooo... I am going to blame this behavior on teething :) I still can't help but to laugh, smile and kiss her all over even when she is being naughty. She is just too cute.

Here are her new teeth

Adeline was really hyper tonight and so I thought I would video a little bit of it because she was being hilarious. Of course when I started taping her, she calmed down a bit


Tonight I made really yummy tortilla soup and a dessert. They actually were both very easy and SO good from Kraft foods. I didn't take any pictures of the soup...sorry. Here are the recipes:

TORTILLA SOUP
for the soup--
2 Tbsp. Italian Dressing
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans chicken broth
1 1/2 C. Water
6 frozen small boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 can (15oz) tomato sauce

toppings--
4 cups tortilla chips, crushed
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1/3 cup sour cream
1 large avocado, peeled pitted and chopped
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

Mix dressing and garlic in large saucepan; cook on medium-high heat 1 min., stirring occasionally. Gradually add broth and water, stirring until well blended. Add chicken. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 20 min. or until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from broth mixture; cool slightly. Pour broth through a fine-mesh strainer; return broth to pan.

Shred chicken; return to pan. Stir in tomato sauce. Cook on medium-high heat until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Ladel soup into soup bowls. Garnish with the topping ingredients.

Supposed to make 8 servings. But we were pigs and for us it probably on made about 3. You can count on at least 4 unless you are pigs like us. Mmmm, it's so good.
