Cinnamon Chili Bean Soup

May 27th, 2008 Meg

A friend of mine makes what she calls Mustgo Soup. I tried this for the first time tonight! We had some water I had cooked pasta in, some leftover egg noodles, part of a hamburger, and a little bit of leftover chicken and rice canned soup. I added a can of Mexican chili beans, a chopped onion, 2 tsp. of cinnamon, parsley, black pepper, and a can of cooked chicken. It looks kind of like a white chili but with brown beans. I’ll let you know what it tastes like…

What color is the punch at a boy’s baby shower?

May 27th, 2008 Meg

Recently, I helped hostess a baby shower for a friend of mine. She’s having a son, and is very excited. One of the things I brought was the punch—as I was preparing, I discovered that most of my punch ideas were pink. Hmmm. For a boy’s shower, that didn’t seem to fit quite right. Here’s the recipe to the punch we had.

Green Party Punch

2 liters ginger ale
1 can of frozen lemonade concentrate
1 large can of pineapple juice (chilled)
1/2 gallon lime sherbet

Stir ingredients together, making sure some ginger ale gets poured over the lime sherbet. The sherbet melts and makes a nice frothy top.
