Happy Sunday!  In today's edition of slow cooker Sunday, I am making lasagna.  HERE is the recipe. Now the question is to invite the neighbors over or not...kind of liking my apartment complex and my neighbors rock.

A few of my favorite things

Happy Friday!  We had an ice storm here this week.  So while I got to work from home for a few days (read: led to SERIOUS cabin fever), I am ready for the weekend, some fun, time outside and wine.

In completely unrelated news, below are a few of my favorite things:

1) A new hydrating body oil

2) Prosecco

And the pink version I recently found

3) Meyer's Lavender Air Freshener

Slow Cooker Sunday: Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been a complete slacker on Slow Cooker Sunday lately, but it's a bit cold here at the beach.  And, I am feeling the need for some yummy soup.  I am going to try Chicken Tortilla Soup tonight.  I found THIS recipe on Campbell's Soup website.

Ingredients:
1 cup Pace Picante
2 cans Campbell's condensed cream  of chicken soup
1 pound skinless chicken, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 cups frozen whole kernel corn
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 soup can water
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 corn tortillas, cut into strips
1 coup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup chopped cilantro

How to Make It:
1) Stir the picante, soup, chicken, corn, beans, water and cumin into slow cooker
2) Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or until chicken is cooked through
3) Stir tortillas, cheese and cilantro into cooker.  Cook for 15 minutes.

Off to the beach for a walk w/ Izzie the puppy!  That is after I wake Izzie up!  :0  Happy Sunday!

Song: Wake me up

Lately, I've been listening to Pandora at the office and THIS SONG comes on...I kind of love it.  Enjoy and happy Sunday!

You have two choices...

With every breath and step of your day and life, you have two choices: 1) start from a place of positive or 2) not.  What do you tend to do?

I personally would rather approach life with a positive perspective.  Happy Thursday!!

2014 for me...

I wrote THIS post just before the new year....but for some reason while I know definitively what I want 2014 to be...I couldn't come up with the exact words until now.  As usual, it hit me like a ton of bricks during yoga this evening.  I have two mantras in life: 1) Be where your feet are and 2) Do more of what makes you happy and less of what doesn't.  If I live by those two mantras more days then not...then life is good.  So, in 2014, I wanna keep it simple and remember those two mantras daily.
