Homemade Soup

So I know I posted yesterday and I don't usually post back to back days, but I came home sick with Bronchitis today and decided that since it was raining and I was home to be resting, making homemade soup was going to be the best thing for me to do and keep me from cleaning!

The absolute worst part of being sick, besides having to cancel my patients at work, is that I was told to not workout for a couple days :/  I'm glad it happened this week and not next when I'm starting my new program with the coach test group!  So, this week is focusing on making sure I eat right and prepping for this new eating plan.  Gotta look at the positive, right? :)  

Ok, so this soup was amazing and we used AJ's grandma's recipe with the addition of shredded chicken.  It was so good, and I'm excited that we have left overs for me to take to work!  The kids loved it too and it was perfect for our first cool day of fall!


Here's what you'll need:

Beef soup bone
2 precooked shredded chicken breasts
1 medium onion
6 stalks celery
4 medium carrots
5 whole cloves
4 medium potatoes
46 oz tomato juice
Noodles of choice

Put the soup bone in a large pot of water.  Stick the whole cloves inside the whole onion and add it to the pot.  Cut celery and carrots into small pieces and add to pot.  Cook for about 2 hours, adding water as needed to keep it above the mixture.  
Add tomato juice and diced peeled potatoes.  Bring it to a boil and then let it simmer.  Cook for another 2 hours or longer if you have time.  The longer it cooks, the better!  
Add a bag of noodles about 20 minutes before you are ready to eat.  Season with salt and pepper to each bowl to taste.  

Enjoy!

Chocolate protein bars

This is one of my most favorite recipes that I have adapted to fit our families needs and make on a weekly basis.  It provides protein and carbs to keep you full and satisfied for the morning!   Our kids literally have this breakfast every day and if I don't have them made, the kids are quite upset. They call them chocolate bars but that's very deceiving because there's not really much chocolate in it! These take 10 minutes max to make and then time in the fridge to set.  1+ cup natural peanut butter (I like Skippy) 1 cup local honey (for allergy sakes!) 1 1/3 cup oatmeal 3 scoops chocolate protein powder (I use Orgain) 1 scoop chocolate Shakeology (if you don't have this, just do 5 scoops of protein powder) Then I dump in some flax seeds and chia seeds - not measured Heat peanut butter and honey on stove together.  Add in your other ingredients and mix well Spread in a container (I use a 9x13 Pyrex). Place in fridge overnight or freezer for an ...

Cookie dough balls

I saw this picture of what looked like cookie dough on my friends facebook page - she said she made it with Shakeology!  It absolutely looked amazing in the bowl, just like cookie dough.  And then she rolled it into balls for a quick snack - or in my kids case, BREAKFAST 😊 I modified her recipe a little bit and according to my husband I need to modify it a little bit more.  I thought they were good and the kids scarfed them down.  I guess if you don't like coconut at all, then you need to modify it as well - I'll tell you how I intend to but I can't promise anything at this point! Making these with Shakeology allows you to get 70+ amazing ingredients including superfoods, vitamins, protein, pre/probiotics, adaptogens, digestive enzymes....you know all that good for you stuff that most of us don't get on a daily basis and probably don't even know what it all is!  The way Shakeology is made though, the nutrients get delivered to you as a whole food (dri...

I want to support and encourage you.  I love helping others learn and teach them what I have learned over the past several years.  If you are interested in getting started on your journey, check back often and see what's new and exciting around here - recipes, workouts, fun/educational articles I have found and just crazy life things.
