Broccoli Cheese Soup
This right here is a soup for winners. Sometimes you just need a thick and hearty soup to warm the soul after a day chasing Polar Bears through the Arctic. This Broccoli Cheese Soup is super easy to make and tastes great.
Instructions
Place the butter along with the chopped onion and celery into a pot and sweat these bad boys off. Once translucent, add the flour making sure to keep stirring. If you think you can stop stirring, you are wrong. Keep stirring.
Add the broth and continue to stir. Add in the pepper and salt. After about 2 minutes, you are going to add the rest of the ingredients and let them cook down for about 7-10 minutes. Add in the milk and cheese. Make sure to keep the temperature on a solid 4/10 on the heat scale or you will scorch it and no one likes scorched soups.
Garnish with some Jalapeños and some more cheddar and you got yourself an amazing soup.

There I said it… I have had my fair share of chicken sandwiches and I can honestly say that out of all the fast food chain chicken sandwiches (notice I said fast food chain chicken sandwiches), Chick-Fil-A has to be the absolute king. The only problem is, they are closed on Sunday. Now we can make the recipe at home!

In order to make the best Mexican food, you need to start with the essentials. Don’t go out and buy those nasty tortillas you find in the store. They are filled with so many disgusting chemicals. Make them at home and for a fraction of the cost.

Worlds Best Flour Tortillas
Stop buying those crappy chemical filled tortillas from the supermarket. Make your own in no time at all.
Instructions
Grab a large bowl and mix the Flour, Salt, and Baking Powder.
Take the shortening and crumble it into the flour mix until the flour mix becomes crumbly.
Add water and mix until the dough starts to take shape.
Throw some flour down on your counter and knead the dough until it is smooth and stretchy.
Put it in a bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let it sit for one hour.
Split the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll into a ball. If you want to make smaller taco tortillas, cut into 12 pieces.
Heat up your skillet to medium high heat.
Throw some flour on a rolling pin and roll each dough ball into a tortilla. If you want the tortillas to come out better, use a tortilla press or frying pans.
Throw the tortillas on a skillet and cook until lightly golden brown.
Pull off the tortillas and place under a towel.
