This is for you Jeannie!

My dad makes the best sugar cookies with the best citrus frosting, here is the recipe for the frosting (It really is this easy).

1/2 cube butter
water
powdered sugar
Concentrated Orange Juice (not OJ already mixed up)

Melt the butter, pour in powdered sugar and mix. Add water if necessary to make it the right consitency. Add 3 Tbsp (or more) of concentrated orange juice-right out of the can. Add more if you want to make it stronger. Enjoy!

WhiteBean Chicken Chilli

I can't take any credit for this one, my friend had me and the girls over for a playdate a few weeks ago and she made this for lunch....it's heavenly, I just had to share!!

2 chicken breasts, cubed
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp oil
2 cans white beans
2 (14.5 oz) cans chicken broth
1 cup dry elbow macaroni
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream

1. In large pot, saute chicken, onion and garlic in oil, until chicken is no longer pink.
2. Add all other ingredients, except sour cream and whipping cream.
3. Bring ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
4. Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream and whipping cream. (It's important to stir in sour cream first to keep the whipping cream from curdling.) Enjoy!
