It's a cold snowy day here in Virginia Beach, VA so it seemed like a good day for soup. Yesterday I picked up some bone-in split chicken breasts on sale plus some Andouille sausage. It sounded like an interesting marriage!
Here is what went in my big green soup pot:
(4) bone-in split chicken breasts
(1) medium onion, chopped
(8) cloves of garlic, smashed and chopped
(2) packages Johnsonville New Orleans brand Andouille Recipe smoked sausage
(1) package crinkle cut carrots
(1) package peas
(1) package roasted red & green peppers
(2) cans of Hunt's diced tomatoes
(1) small can of V-8
(2) drops of Texas Pete
chili powder
Boil the chicken until done and no longer pink.
While the chicken is boiling, saute the onion and garlic in 1/2 a stick of butter until tender.
Slice the Andouille sausage into about 1/2" thick rounds and toss with onions.
When the chicken is done, remove from bones and discard bones and skin.
Chunk the chicken and add back to the broth, keep at a low boil.
Add the sausage and onions to the pot with the chicken.
Add the remaining ingredients, the chili powder and Texas Pete are to your liking!
I served this with jalapeno poppers! It was very good.

PB Oatmeal Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies
It was cookie time tonight! I did not feel like making the same ordinary chocolate chip cookies tonight so I decided to start tossing things into the bowl and see where I ended up! Here is what went into my mixer:
(1) cup of softened butter (2 sticks)
(1) cup of packed light brown sugar
(1/2) cup of granulated sugar
(1 1/2) cup of creamy peanut butter
Cream together until smooth. Then add:
(2) eggs
(2) teaspoons of vanilla extract
Blend well. Then add:
(2 1/2) cups all purpose flour
(1) teaspoon baking powder
(1) cup quick cooking oats
Mix well then stir in the following:
(1) cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
(1) cup of butterscotch chips
Scoop onto cookie sheet two inches apart and bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 14 minutes.
It makes a very soft cookie, about two dozen or so.
