OH MAN!! I'm not gonna lie (or even try to be humble about it) tonight's dinner & dessert are probably my BEST creations EVER!!!
I made like a Tortilla soup, but I made it with Pork Chorizo & Pinto beans. It's been simmering in the Crock pot all day and it smells so warm & welcoming. I love it when a house smells like that! I stewed some fresh tomatoes--I LOVE peeling them! Added some chopped onions, green bell peppers & corn. As I've been tasting it through the day, it just gets better and better!! I thickened the tomato broth with a roux and set the Crock pot at warm. I'm seriously so excited to eat it and to have my family partake of it's goodness as well!!
I chopped up some Cilantro and I can't wait to top my soup with it!! I love the fresh aroma of Cilantro!! It reminds me of how blessed I am to live in San Diego and grow up around the Mexican culture.
For dessert, I made a Strawberry Mango cobbler!!! Oh man, right now as I type this the house smells HEAVENLY!!! My mouth has been watering all day!! I SERIOUSLY can't wait til dinner tonight!!!
Thank you Mama McK for making the best foods for me to recreate and tweek a bit!
