I asked what my husband wanted to do for his early birthday celebration, because he would be fishing on his actual birthday (naturally). His response was something relaxed maybe a little soup and watch a movie.
On the Menu:
Victoria beer
Chicken Posole Soup
Red Velvet and Pink Champagne Cupcakes from Kate's Frosting
On the Playlist:
Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash
Hotel California - The Gipsy Kings
Cielito Lindo - Mariachi
La Bamba - Richie Valenz
Whiskey River - Willie Nelson
My Maria - Brooks & Dunn
Easy Chicken Posole Soup:
Saute the onion and garlic with half of the vegetable oil
The recipe said to cook the chicken breasts in a skillet until pink, let cool and then shred with a fork. Y'all know I love it when I can cheat, I bought a rotisserie chicken from HEB and just shredded up the meat by hand.
Once the onions were cooked just add all of the rest of the ingredients together except for the hominy and cook covered on low for an hour and a half.
After the hour and a half add the hominy and cook for about 15 more minutes or until they are tender. While grocery shopping i didn't know whether or not to buy white or golden hominy so I bought both, looks like we are making hummus next week!
Before dinner drink of his favorite beer, Victoria, in a frosted beer mug made one happy husband.
I served the soup topped with a few tortilla strips and the crunch was a nice texture in the soup.
Cupcakes and presents!
We always like a little bit of both so we cut up and split the cupcakes, and had the best of both worlds.
Kate's Frosting has delicious and beautiful cupcakes and desserts, and with their new location on Broadway near Florio's it is now very close!
Even Chief was dressed for a the celebration!
