DIY diaper bib
On Sunday morning, I woke up early and felt the urge to make something. Lucky for me Miss Greta was still soundly sleeping and so I had plenty of time to whip up this easy diaper turned bib.
I started with a clean, ironed, cotton diaper. I trimmed it shorter, taking off about 5 inches. The more you cut off, the shorter the bib will be. Then, I cut a half circle neck hole in the middle of the diaper.

Sick Day Soup
I am not usually a meat person – I mostly stick with fish and eggs as far as animal proteins go. I prefer the beans and rice combination or soy products to meat. However, once in a blue moon, I will have chicken, as long as it is the Smart Chicken brand. You guessed it, Iowa chicken! I like my chickens free-range and happy before they died. But enough of my personal meat beliefs, without further ado, here is the concoction I whipped up.
Slice and remove seeds from 1 fresh chile pepper. Slice two chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Combine both with broth mixture. Simmer on high for 4 hours. Add 1-1/2 cups small pasta, such as small shells in last 1/2 hour.Serve with warm naan or the cheap way – crescent rolls.
In a small saucepan, saute 2 tablespoons oil or margarine with 1 diced medium onion. Cook until onion is soft. Add 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon turmeric. Mix well.
Combine onion mixture in slow cooker with 6 cups of vegetable or chicken broth. Add 1 baking potato, peeled and sliced into 1-inch cubes. Combine with 1 can of garbanzo beans. Simmer on high for 3 hours.
