Crock-Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Posted on April 26, 2012 by Kit-Kat

We had a Mexican themed potluck for April birthdays at work yesterday. I decided to make Chicken Tortilla Soup but wanted to find a crock-pot recipe so it could cook overnight while I sleep (I do most of my work potluck contributions like this). I found what looked like an amazing recipe on Pinterest. The recipe had several positive comments so I decided to run with it. I made a few modifications because I like a creamier tortilla soup and I needed enough to serve about 15 people.

It turned out incredible. I received so many compliments. A couple of people commented that they wished there was enough so they could take left-overs home with them! I forgot to take a photo but the link to the original recipe has one.

Pineapple Rum Cupcakes w/Pineapple Flowers

Posted on April 9, 2012 by Kit-Kat

Last weekend when at a friend’s house I was asked if I’ve baked anything lately. Sadly, the answer was no. It was sadder that I couldn’t even remember the last time I did any sort of baking. Since Easter was coming up, I decided to pull an idea from Pinterest and bake some tasty cupcakes for my sweetie’s family. I asked his sister for a few ideas for the cupcakes and here’s what I put together.

Pineapple Rum Cupcakes with Pineapple Flowers

They were SO good. I’ll definitely be making these again!

Attitude Adjustment Project

Posted on March 24, 2012 by Kit-Kat

This week marked one year since I started my Attitude Adjustment Project. It feels great to be in a much better place than I was a year ago. I still have issues with anger and let little things eat away at me but overall I’m not the negative, bitter person I turned into. The anger comes much less frequently and I can generally talk myself out of worrying.

It’s been nice. Really nice. I’m finding that for the first time probably ever I refuse to let my health take a back seat. I’m still very easily get distracted but I find my way back within a week instead of months. I’m more determined than ever not to feel so uncomfortable and self-conscious. I’ve been reminded many times over the past couple of months that it takes 21 days to form a habit. If I can only get past the bumps I stumbled on after about 14 days…
