slow cooker chicken soup

So today i got up at noon, and put the ingredients in the crock pot :D i love this kind of food :D

got the recipe from here and then did stuff online, found out a friend had their baby so we went up to the hospital to see them; i got to hold the baby :D

• 1 can Chicken Broth (14 Oz)
• 2 cups Water
• 1 can Diced Tomatoes With Green Chilies (14.5oz)
• 1 cup Brown Rice
• 2 cups Frozen Corn
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
• 1 clove Garlic, Minced
• 1 pound Chicken Breast, Uncooked

Add all ingredients into slow cooker, placing the chicken on top. This will cook on low for 4 hours, then at that point remove the chicken, let it cool, and shred it. The chicken will be so tender it will simply fall apart making shredding very easy. Place shredded chicken back into the crock pot and continue cooking for 2 more hours.

its good, but bland. so we added italian seasoning, garlic salt, and table salt, and that perked it up :D

more groceries?!

had clinicals last night, but before hand, i went to aldi's and got the rest of my groceries - went over budget by $3, but i "made up" the money via popcans that i returned after class, so its all good. except my bank account is smaller :(

but i made white chicken chili today, put it in the crockpot to heat it up...i guess i coulda done it in the stock pot, but i don't know if its big enough, and they're both dirty...doesn't help :P

i cooked chicken breasts, about 3 or 4 of them, and shredded them with two forks (cuz they were boiling hot!) and put 1/2 jar med salsa, 1/2 jar mild salsa, 1 48oz jar randalls northern beans (white kind) (i'm sure you could soak your own; i'm not THAT ambitious...), mozz cheese, 1 tsp cumin and chicken broth. i do use the juice from the beans, and add broth as needed. i did add too much broth, but TJ was "ok" with it.

he said its to be added to the "keep" list...:D adding salsa instead of using individual items like jalapenos, tomatos, etc, saves LOTS of time :D
