Behind the scenes

Yesterday I blogged about the ornament exchange I went to at my church, but I didn’t mention anything that went on “behind the scenes.” I spent a good part of the exchange playing with kids from the church. Ahhh, I love little kiddos!

The kids set up a picnic lunch for us 😉

It was quite a fun time! I thought it would be cool to show what went on during the exchange, besides the normal stuff!

I jammed to this before presenting my rhetoric paper. It pumped me up fo sho!

 Hannah and I in the Barnes and Noble bathroom on Friday. Random.

K-Cups! I have found that buying K-cups at Bed Bath and Beyond is the best because they have like every flavor and the store constantly has sales + coupons!

On Sunday Jimmy and I went bowling together. It was quite fun. I ended up bowling a 129 and Jimmy bowled a 179. Jerk.

Popcorn! I got a popcorn maker like two years ago for Christmas and it is super easy to use. All you do is heat it up, add vegetable oil, and popcorn. Then let it pop and add salt, etc! Jimmy and I made this on Sunday for the preschool class we teach at our church. Fun fun!

This is my last week before finals week. Ahhh! So ready to be done!

Have a great day!

6 ingredient leftover soup

I’m pretty sure one of the best aspects of Thanksgiving is the abundance of leftovers. Since Thursday I have had countless plates of “Thanksgiving dinner” all over again. I’m not sick of turkey yet!

It can get boring to eat the same dinner over and over again, so I made a simple soup out of leftover turkey.

Leftover Turkey Soup

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, chopped

4 stalks celery, chopped

3 carrots, sliced

6 cups chicken broth

2 cups turkey breast

Directions: Saute the vegetables in a pan in the olive oil until soft and add pinch of salt and pepper. Pour  the broth into the pan and add the turkey. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.

Enjoy with other leftovers, like mashed potatoes + gravy!

I hope everyone is having a nice Sunday. I went to church this morning and now I’m working on homework (I go back to school tomorrow). I might go bowling later with Jimmy or walk Lola, though it is raining out-ugh.

Do you love leftovers? Do you do anything fun with them?!
