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...

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....
