We made it to Friday again, friends! That means it’s time for my Friday favorites: 7/19/2019 post!

 

1. Goals, Goals & More Goals!

This is a favorite every week for me, but it has been so much better this week! I started a new way of listing and tracking my goals for different parts of my life, and I’ve been loving it!

 

2. Hello, Trello!

I’ve done my fair share of research of Trello and have found differing opinions across blogs. I finally decided to try it for myself this week and I love it! Let me know if you’d like me to do a blog post on it soon. šŸ™‚

 

3. The Open

You can blame my husband for this one! I really enjoy watching golf, especially the majors. I’m routing for DeChambeau this week!

 

4. Brownie & Oreo Cupfection

    That dress is gorgeous!

    I used to use Trello but stopped just because I prefer ben and paper to online planners. But I have considered going back to it and giving it another go.

      I completely understand! I also keep a physical planner that I love. There’s something special about pen and paper. šŸ™‚

Cat mom to our two precious rescue cats, Draino and Pepper, both crossed the rainbow bridge but are never forgotten. I’m obsessed with grabbing iced coffee, watching court cases, check marking my to-do list, fresh air, cozy blankets, helping others, and saying ā€˜I love you’ before every goodbye.

I'm so happy you're here and can't wait to connect with you on all the marvelous things!

🄣 Chicken Tortilla Soup — Stovetop
Ā 
Ingredients
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked — diced or shredded)
• ½ cup diced yellow onion
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 (15 oz) can chicken broth
• 1 cup water
• 1 (15 oz) can corn — undrained
• 1 (10 oz) can original Rotel — undrained
• 1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• ½ tsp chili powder
Ā 
Directions
Add everything to a pot on the stove, mix well, and let simmer for 1 hour. The flavor gets even better the longer it sits, but since everything’s already cooked, it’s ready once heated through!
Ā 
Top with tortilla strips, cheese, sour cream, or whatever your heart desires. 🤤 I love to serve this soup with cheesy garlic bread!

What’s your go-to winter comfort meal?
