And the winner is....

It's that time, everyone! Random.org chose the winner, and I'm proud to announce that it is...

Mrs. Lockerbie

She entered as LeighAnne, but I've known her my entire life (literally) and can't bring myself to call her "LeighAnne." Her favorite fall treat?

"My favorite fall guilty pleasure is pumpkin fudge from Disneyland! MMMMMMmmmmmm. Adore the Lucy apron and adore your blog Rach. <3"

So there it is! If you're truly devastated that you missed out on this, visit The Lily Parlour and support Lynne. She has the most adorable aprons, and I'm sure if you message her, she'll make another I Love Lucy one.

Thanks again for entering, everyone! Next month, we'll be doing a giveaway with Inger Luff and some of her goodies.

Have a beautiful Saturday, everyone!

Crock pot chicken, bean 'n cream cheese soup

I love rain. I might be one of the few people out there who prefers a rainy day to a sunny day. I thought I'd officially welcome this cold, rainy fall weather by making this hearty, cheap and easy soup. It took less than 5 minutes to throw together and even less time to eat it. It's that good.

Ingredients:

• 1 can corn
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can of original Rotel
• 2 thawed chicken breasts
• 8 oz. pack of cream cheese
• 1 packet of dry ranch dressing mix
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions:

• With the exception of the black beans (which need to be drained and rinsed first) throw all the ingredients into a crock pot.
• Cook on low 8-10 hours.
• Using two forks, shred the chicken, stir well and serve hot with fresh bread and butter.

These leftovers are amazing, too. Perfect for days like today when all you want is to take a bath, read your book and not cook.

Love and good feelings,

Rachael
