Emma's Grilled Cheese

Not an original recipe, I know. But Emma is doing it herself. She asked me if I

would make her a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. I told her she could have

one but she had to make it. She grumbled a little but finally gave in.She likes a messy, cheesey sandwhich so she uses american cheese.
She flipped it herself.

It tastes better when you make it yourself, right Emma?

Tortilla Soup

I love this soup! It's probably my favorite soup ever. And it is soup-er easy for

a 9-year-old, like my Emma, to make.

To start:

2 cans of chicken stock

1 can corn, not drained

2 cans cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of celery soup

2 soup cans of water

1 can of stewed tomatoes (optional)

1/2 container Chachies mild salsa (or your favorite)
1 can chicken (You can use freshly cooked chicken, too. I use canned when

it is a last minute meal.)

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
Heat until hot.

By the end, you will have alot of cans.

Here is the final masterpiece. Just add tortilla chips and shredded cheddar cheese

and eat. I love this soup so much and it is delicious leftovers. Emma

takes some to school in her lunch. We have to bribe Scott to eat it.
