Guilt-Free Turkey Noodle Soup

Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a terrific Thanksgiving with your loved ones.  I know I did, which is why I didn't get around to posting last week.  My fiance & I hosted the thanksgiving shindig this year & it was extra special since it was our first holiday together.  I made a 17 pound bird which provided us with plenty of leftover turkey for the week plus all of the other naughty side dishes, which got me thinking about healthy eating.  I came across a recipe for chicken noodle soup last night and decided it would work well for all of the left over turkey we need to use up.  I just made a big pot of it for dinner tonight.

Organization 101: Contain the Chaos

Hello Everyone!

I apologize for the delay with the blog posts recently.  I've been quite busy lately trying to clean, organize, run errands, etc...You all know how that is!  It seems as though this time of the year we all get even more bogged down with all of the tasks due to the holidays.  This year, my fiance and I are going to host Thanksgiving for my side of the family at our place.  We are both looking forward to it as it will be extra special being our first Thanksgiving together.  While I absolutely love this time of year, it can be quite chaotic and even overwhelming with all of the little details and "to do's" we take on when we decide to host a holiday gathering.  As a matter of fact, my "To Do" list seems to grow longer and longer the closer we get to Turkey Day.  Makes me realize how important it is to get organized this time of year or what I like to call, "contain the chaos". 

Quick Quiche

Good Morning Gal Pals!

Since I am a fulltime working gal with an hour commute, I’m constantly on the lookout for quick & easy recipes being that I like to cook homemade meals.  I came across this recipe the other day on the Women Living Well website courtesy of guest blogger, Janelle Nehrenz.  It really is a quick dish to prepare.  It only took me 10 minutes of prep time.  I was able to relax for 45 minutes on the couch with a magazine while I waited for it to bake.  Talk about no fuss!  This recipe is perfect for a potluck, brunch or dinner; just add a green salad or fruit salad and it will make a hearty meal that is sure to impress your family or guests.
