How Michele Makes Nacho’s

It was difficult transitioning from cooking for 2 to cooking for 1 after Joe passed. One of the easy dishes I discovered was Nacho’s.

In order to make cheese nacho’s put some tortilla chips on a plate, top with as much Mexican cheese as you like and then nuke until the cheese melts. Voila – Cheese Nachos!

You can then top with salsa and/or sour cream.

Chicken

Then one day after cooking chicken in my crock-pot, it dawned on me all I had to do was put shredded chicken on the chips, top with cheese and nuke until the cheese melted and Voila – Chicken Nacho’s!

Yes, these are not the fancy nacho’s you find a restaurants but they are easy and quick – except for the crock-pot part.

Tonight

Check back between 7-8 p.m. Eastern and I will show you today’s version of chicken nacho’s. The chicken is cooking in crock-pot.

Rommie got chicken nacho’s too.  I dropped a couple chips on the floor and then put some chicken in her food dish.  Needless to say she scarfed the chips and chicken down and is now one happy dog.

Reason For The Season

Merry Christmas to you and your family from Rommie and me.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:10 – 11

Night Of Song

Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl.  But it warmed more than your body.  It warmed your heart… filled it, too, with melody that would last forever. 

Bess Streeter Aldrich

May you feel that shawl around you and may it warm your heart today and always.

Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
‘Round yon virgin , mother and child
Holy infant so, tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, Holy night
Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glory streams from heaven afar
Heavenly, hosts sings Hallelujah.
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.

Silent night, Holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth.
