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 could always add more if you love starches like me)
- 1 tsp. salt 
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 2 dried bay leaves

Here's how to make it:
1. Melt butter in a large pot/Dutch oven and add onions and garlic. Cook until onions begin to soften.
2. Add the celery, carrots, and cooked chicken.
3. Add the broth, egg noodles, salt, pepper, and bay leaves.
4. Bring contents to a boil, then let simmer while covered for 20 minutes.
5. Remove bay leaves from soup and ENJOY!

Banana Bread-Bottom Cheesecake

YUM. I am not a huge fan of banana bread, but after trying this recipe, I am in love! I saw this recipe on my Tasty app and thought, "what the heck, let's try it out"! The banana bread part of it was so moist and so yummy, and the cheesecake part was great because it wasn't as rich as regular cheesecake (less guilt after eating it!) Here is the ingredients list for the banana bread layer: 4 ripe bananas (the riper, the better!) 4 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 egg 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1.5 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 1 tsp. cinnamon For the cheesecake part: 32 oz. (4 blocks) cream cheese, softened* 1/2 cup sugar 1 tbsp. vanilla extract 1 cup milk 1 tbsp. gelatin powder caramel sauce, to taste *I always use reduced fat cream cheese whenever I make a cheesecake, and I have found no difference in texture or richness compared to cheesecakes made with "full-fat" cream cheese....

Going Through Some Stuff

So, I just wanted to say that the reason I've been sucking at posting lately is because I've just been having a rough time with a bunch of things and my mind has been elsewhere. Shit has kinda hit the fan at work and school, and being homesick is not helping. I'm hoping this rough patch ends soon. It has to.. right? Anyways, I'll make my other post a decent recipe so that way I am contributing something somewhat worthy to this blog. Ttyl.

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 oi...
