Garlic Broccoli Shrimp Stir-Fry

So simple, so yummy! I found this recipe on the beloved Tasty by Buzzfeed app and made it a while ago with the mental note of making it again and often; it is so easy and very yummy!  For more sustenance I ate it with brown rice, but you could serve it with noodles, quinoa, or just about any other starch you like! This recipe is so simple and versatile; jazz it up however you like! It made about 4 helpings for me, perfect for meal prep! Here's the ingredient list: - 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined* - 3 cloves of garlic, minced - 2 cups of broccoli - 1/2 onion, diced** - 1 tbsp. soy sauce (I used low sodium) - 2 tbsp. sesame oil, divided*** - 1/2 tsp. salt, divided *I actually prefer to buy the precooked shrimp from the meat/seafood counter at the store, but you can use raw if you prefer!  **We all know I have an aversion to the texture of cooked onion, so for this I subbed about a 1/2 tbsp. of onion powder ***If you don't have sesame oil

Chicken Noodle Soup

It's officially fall, which means... It is SOUP season! I found a decent recipe for classic homemade chicken noodle soup and I was fairly please with it. I spiced it up a bit and added some extra garlic and onion powder and added some dried oregano or dried rosemary with a bowl if I was feeling it. Great for those chilly fall days or for anytime you're feeling under the weather! This made about 8 servings, which was dinner for over a week for me! Here's the recipe: - 2 tbsp. butter (I used salted because I was using low-sodium chicken broth) - 1 cup of onion, diced (If you're like me and have an aversion to the texture of cooked onions, you could sub this for a couple of big tablespoons of onion powder) - 2 garlic cloves, minced - 1 cup of celery, diced - 1 cup of carrot, diced - 1/2 lb. cooked chicken, shredded (A rotisserie chicken works great for this - I believe I used the whole chicken!) - 7 cups of chicken broth - 2 cups of egg noodles (you

Fall Show Preview

The 2018 Network TV Season Is Upon Us!!! I am SO excited that America's favorite TV shows are back along with some promising new shows premiering. I wanted to take the liberty to let y'all know the shows I usually watch and which new ones I am going to try to get into this year and a bit of preview on what happened the first week. I'll try not to give out too many spoilers, but I can't promise anything! First up on my list of shows I'm watching this fall is The Resident on Fox. Basically, Logan from Gilmore Girls plays a smoking hot medical resident with a major badass attitude at a reputable hospital in Atlanta, GA. I watched it last season mainly because I knew one of my favorite actresses from CSI:NY had signed on as a main cast member and I had to see what that was all about. Long story short, it was actually a pretty good first season and I'm excited to see what the new season brings. As I write this, I have just watched the first two episodes of sea
