Crock-Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

Posted on October 29 by Jillian416 • 10 Comments

Heart-warming Chicken Noodle Soup

It happens every year, the cooler weather hits and I want soup. There is just something so very very comforting about sitting on the couch (because soup just shouldn’t be eaten anywhere but on the couch – haha), curled up in your softest sweatpants and socks, and your warmest sweatshirt, sipping that delicious steaming bowl of soup. Seriously, is there anything better!?

It’s no secret that Fall is my favorite time of year. Just something about it makes me come alive! I recently decided to try my hand at chicken noodle soup, but wanted to make it in the crock-pot because I’m not one for standing over the stove for hours on end. I like to cook, and then let the food do its thing.

I have to admit, this adventure was a success. The soup turned out delicious, and I cannot wait to make it again! It’s filling, hearty and warms you through and through. I highly recommend you run out and get the ingredients today, and make it for lunch all week. It would absolutely make a perfect dinner, too – I just prefer having soup for lunch.

What I Ate Wednesday #2

Posted on July 24 by Jillian416 • 0 Comments

Time for my second installment of, What I Ate Wednesday, if you missed last week’s, you can check it out here.

Here’s a quick recap on how What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW) came to be on my blog, one of my favorite blogs, Peas and Crayons does a weekly post all about the food and drinks that she had throughout the day. If you are interested in doing your own “What I Ate Wednesday” post, check out her blog for all the details, everyone is welcome!

Today started out on a rough foot. Emmett decided to wake up at 1 am and refused to go back down until 4 am. Seamus and I took turns caring for him, so we were both pooped but at least I had the luxury of working from home in my PJs and not having to do my hair or make-up. When I’m tried like I was this morning, I tend to crave really decadent foods but in an effort to remain healthy, I made a nice filling meal.

I had 2 over-easy eggs on Canadian white bread (I know, I know, so NOT healthy but it’s all we had in the house), handful of blueberries, banana and a Laughing Cow Babybel Wheel (Yum!). This kept me seriously full until almost lunch time. OH! And coffee, loads and loads of coffee, I just didn’t snap a picture of it.

I was going to grab a snack but decided I wasn’t quite hungry enough to eat, and after taking one day off from work to celebrate Emmett’s birthday, I was very behind so I skipped the snack and pounded through a few more emails.

Lunch rolled around and I had no desire to actually cook something so I threw a Trader Joe’s Frozen Wild Mushroom and Black Truffle Flatbread Pizza into the oven.

It was so so yummy! I love mushrooms so I had no doubt I’d like it but this was awesome. I absolutely recommend it.

My afternoon went by so so quickly but I managed to sneak a yummy snack of celery and First Light Farm and Creamery Chevre, the chipotle and honey flavor.

Celery is one of those vegetables that I absolutely love but need to eat dunked in something, blue cheese, peanut butter, cream cheese. None of them are very healthy options when eaten in large amounts so I definitely try to keep my potion sizes small.
