Incomplete Food

So my big resolution to take pics and notations of all the food I make this year has flopped- AND HOW!  This is one fat fail.  But, just know this, I made yummy Guac Burgers, Dub-T Enchiladas, Tortellini Soup, SLOOOOOW-COOKING Baked Beans, SUPER YUM Ice Cream Pie, Double Chocolate Cookies, was an assistant on WOWSERS Chicken Sandwiches, among other items.  My goal of remembering what I make is coming to a screeching halt.  But I have posted the most delish (in recent memory) items below.  To my faithful few: these are seriously worth making.  You should try.

Tortellini Soup

Adapted from my friend, Deb's recipe:

Blend two cans of tomatoes, a can of tomato sauce, some Italian seasoning (maybe 4 TBSP), a bit more of oregano and basil (1 TBSP each). some onion powder and garlic powder and pour it all into about 8C of chicken stock.  Boil and add tortellini, chopped up sausage and chopped zucchini.  Serve over a bit of mozzarella and add parm on top.  Voila.

Ice Cream Pie

Whip up your fave choc chip cookies and be sure to slightly underbake.   Chop those up into  bits and put into  bottom of greased pieware.  Melt a bag of caramels and about 1/2 cup of evap milk on stovetop until smooth and creamy and pour over the chunked cookies, until it fills in all the cracks.  Add vanilla ice cream to the top and sprinkle some cookie crumble on top of that and then freeze.  Let it soften just a bit before serving.  What's great about this: it does not get too hard in the freezer.  I wish I had more right about...NOW!

Couldn't resist adding another pic of the pie.

Okay, that's it for now.  Sorry I'm a slouch.  But I've been busy, y'all- and by "y'all" - I mean the three of you that read!
