What's cooking: Mexican Chicken Soup.

Like I told you in the earlier post here are the pictures to the soup I made for dinner. My husband told me 4 times "wow this soup is really good" and when it comes from him I know it is really good cause he a better cook than I am.

I found the recipe here but of course I tweaked it a little bit and made it my own.
Enjoy




Burgundy and Jeans.....

I woke up with dinner on my mind,  I love asking people what's for dinner just to get some inspiration for myself. So after Zumba class I asked my neighbor Julie what she was having, she replied "Mexican Chicken Soup and it's easy" I have never made that soup before, so I went to bed with that on my mind and I woke up with this soup still my mind and the first thing I did was I looked for an easy recipe. I went grocery shopping and the soup is now cooking on the stove and is almost done, I can't wait to try it and share the pictures. This soup is going to be something I need since this week I have not had any bread, pasta, nor meat and you know what ..........I feel really good.

On another note the weather outside  is gray and no ray of sunshine is to been seen which makes it feel colder that it is, so a pop of color is what I need to enjoy this day with a smile on my face. I hope your day is off to a great start.

Khaki and Orange.

Standing in the kitchen right now to get things ready for dinner, I am almost done, I am baking the Cajun sweet potatoes, the green beans are started to cook and my ground beef is almost. The kids wanted a snack, not a fruit this time so I did pop some popcorn for them on the stove with grape seed oil and then seasoned them with seasoned salt.

I am eating some chickpeas and a handful of popcorn to keep me a bit full cause tonight's Zumba and after that I eat my dinner.
Have a great evening peeps.

What's cooking?

I made a apple pie, using organic cane sugar, a mix of golden delicious and granny smith apples, raisin that were soaked in rum for about an hour.
After Zumba class, I made my dinner sauteed okra, arugula and pine nuts with a mini broccoli souffle. Now it's time to say Good Night!



 





Royal Blue ad Black.

My little one will often ask me where am I go , cause I am all dressed up. Even though I do not work, well have a job outside my house I love getting dressed just because I love too. I do not like to sit in pj's at my desk while making jewelry I like to pretend even though this is more like a hobby that I have a real job. I hope your Tuesday is awesome.

Green Movement.

I absolutely adore these green pants, and for today the weather was nice enough to have my arms bare. I started what I would call a week of juicing and raw diet. This means, no bread , no pasta no potatoes. I had a juice in the morning then went for a run, came back and treated myself to a detox salad that I found at Wholefoods, had some green tea with fresh ginger while playing song pop   then did a TRX class ate some Tomato soup and some chickpeas for dinner, a peach as dessert. I have to say today has been so good so far, we will see what tomorrow bring and I can still continue with this.....

What I Made; New Jewelry

I slept in this morning and made a couple of things while watching the Space Jump while laying in my comfy bed of course talking about not wasting my precious time. I always take a picture of two on instagram when I start things, but what I love the most is when I get to take the actual picture that will go on Etsy.
Took a class on Thursday and made 5 for my family.

a custom order for my friend in Holland.
