Creamy Black Bean Chicken
Sorry there is no picture but this is an easy and really tasty recipe. The recipe is from my friend Laura Miner.
Creamy black bean salsa
2-4 boneless chicken breast
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup salsa*
1 can (15oz) corn, drained
1 can (15oz) black beans, washed & drained
1 pkg taco seasoning
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup cheese
*I don't like chunky salsa so I use taco sauce or enchillada sauce instead of salsa
Put all ingredients in slow cooker, except the sour cream and cheese. Let cook until chicken is done, 3-4 hours. After, top with sour cream and cheese. Serve with warm tortillas and Spanish rice. Yum

Padded Bath Mat
I stole this idea from a shower, but I thought it was a great and wanted to share it. This is prefect for putting your babies on after they get out of the bath - it's so soft!! I am not totally in love with this towel, but I couldn't find a little girl one that I liked so I just decided to go with a fun bath theme!
You will need:
A large bath towel (I found that Target and Kohl's had the best selection)
Matching thread
Matching DMC floss (found in the needlework area of JoAnn's)
Large bag of batting
Directions:
Sew up both sides and the bottom of the towel, leaving a small opening to stuff in the batting. The towel moved alot on me when I was sewing so I started with the sides starting at the end and sewing toward the fold - this way you can't tell if it's a little off. I left an opening at the bottom in the middle. Once you have the batting in, stitch up the opening. Take the DMC floss and make "darts" throughout the towel by going down and coming up close to the same spot. Tie with a sqare knot and wahlah - you are done! (I just eyeballed where I did my darts and it isn't great so please don't look too close! )

Carmelitas
This is a Kristie Crockett original with a little easier twist. Still the same great, yummy results.
1 jar Mrs. Richardson's caramel/butterscotch topping
12 oz. package chocolate chips (I like Guittards or Ghiradelli)
2 C. flour
2 C. oatmeal
1 1/2 C. brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 C. butter (melted)
Combine flour, oatmeal, melted butter, brown sugar, soda and salt. Press 1/2 mixture into the bottom of greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 17 minutes at 325 degrees. Take out and layer chocolate chips and then the jar of caramel/butterscotch topping. Crumble the remaining crumbs over the topping and return to oven to bake for another 17 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for at least 5 hours before serving. (If you put it in the fridge or somewhere cool, you won't need to let it sit as long.)
