ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

FOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH, 2020

The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades.  May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

Happy Birthday to you♥ 

Today is also Chicken Soup for the Soul Day which is a heart warming holiday that pays tribute to the inspirational stories within the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series.

According to the book series creators, this day was created to celebrate who you are and where you’ve been, where your going and who you will be thankful for when you get there.  These books have been popular for over 20 years., selling more that 119 million copies in the U.S. and Canada!

The inspirational series has allowed ordinary people to share their extraordinary stories with the world. Celebrate today by sharing your experience with others, reflecting on the past year, or reading a book from the series, perhaps over a warm bowl of homemade chicken soup.

If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Soup puts the heart at ease, calms down the violence of hunger, eliminates the tension of the day, and awakens and refines the appetite.  

Auguste Escoffier

This DIL’s birthday celebration is another long distance one for me, so my thoughts and wishes will going our in the mail with a card to wish her every happiness.  I won’t be seeing her until Thanksgiving so I’ll have to catch up on the congratulations then.  I do have chicken on the menu for today but not in the form of soup, instead I’ll be having:

20 minute Chicken Enchiladas 

Makes 6 servings of 2 enchiladas each

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup chicken stock

1 tbsp. Flour

1 1/2 tbsp. chili powder

2 tsp. cumin

3/4 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper

1/4 tsp. salt

1 16 oz can tomato sauce

3 cubs shredded rotisserie chicken breast

1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained

12 6 inch corn tortillas

Cooking spray

3/4 cup shredded Mexicn blend cheese

1 cup chopped tomato 

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

6 tbsp. sour cream

Preheat broiler to high.  Combine first 9 ingredients in a saucepan , stir with a whisk.  Bring o a boil over high heat; cook 2 minutes or until thickened.  Reserve 1 1/2 cups sauce mixture.  Add Chicken and beans to pan, cook 2 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly heated.

Stack tortillas; wrap stack in damp paper towels and microwave on high for 25 seconds.  Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken misture in center of esch tortilla; roll up.  Arange tortillas, seam sides down in bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.  Top with reserved sauce and cheese.Broil 3 minutes or until chess slightly browned and sauce is bubbly.  Top with tomato and cilantro.  Serve with sour cream

Enchiladas are a surefire family favorite and can be a labor of love.  This version takes only 20 minutes from start to finish.  You can use leftover ingredients to build nachos on a baking sheet.  Serve the enchiladas with a salad of fresh orange, avocado and crisp lettuce.

I hope you all have a GREAT day.  Happy Thursday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

Soup is a lot like a family.  Each ingredient enhances the others; each batch has its own characteristics, and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavor.

Marge Kennedy 

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for.  There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
