I came right home, gladly put Tessa down for her nap, and made myself the necklace. I love this particular doily; it's cross stitched by hand. So sweet. This took 10 minutes, and I think it'll look great with a solid-colored tee-shirt or dress. Here's how to make it.
Then I made chicken tortilla soup. I tried to recreate the magic of Mas Tacos' chicken tortilla soup, which I seriously think is the best soup in the entire world. I did a pretty good job! I used this Food Network recipe, but simplified it like some people in the comments suggested by just shredding up a rotisserie chicken and using store-bought chicken broth. It took maybe 30 minutes from start to finish, I learned how to make my own tortilla chips, and it turned out so yum. I'm not really any kind of a cook and this isn't a cooking blog, but I'm proud of my soup.
Tessa helped make the soup. Not.
it's so beautiful! love that doiliy. thanks for sharing! xo.
