And for my first trick...

When considering what recipe should be my first to try of the new year, I thought about foods that make me say "I wish I knew how to make this!"

Soup is something that I often order when dining out but rarely eat at home. I have yet to find a soup recipe that tastes good enough for me to spend the time making it.

I turned to Pinterest (one of my inspirations for this blog) to help me find a recipe worthy of being my first of the year. Within seconds (love Pinterest!) I found the perfect food to kickoff this year right...

Tortilla Soup!

I found two great recipes...

• Option #1 Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup from Miller Musings www.jonandjenmiller.blogspot.com  CROCKPOT = one of the best inventions ever

• Option #2 Chicken Enchilada Soup (close enough to tortilla soup) from www.realmomkitchen.com

Check back later this week to see which one I choose!
