Taco Soup and Jalapeno Bread

Went to Celebrations at our church Second Baptist with friends this morning and I'm going to Ladies Night at Ace Hardware tonight with friends, so I put Taco Soup in the crockpot today!! I am also making a recipe I found from Taste of Home for Jalapeno Bread.....it's in the oven now and really smells good....I'll add a picture when it's done.
