Eats and an oldish workout

Hey there. I feel like, besides Thanksgiving, I haven’t posted any delicious eats in a while. That needs to change. Now!

White bean chicken chili (The recipe is on my recipe page!) This is one of my big brother’s favorite soups. He likes to put an insane amount of red pepper flakes and ground red pepper in it. Then his sinuses drain. Very interesting.

Everything bagel + cream cheese. Great for the breath 😉

*Now that I look through my pictures, I though I had more photos of food, but I don’t… so that is all I have!*

I do have other pictures to share though:

Lily sleeping on my bed on Thanksgiving. She looked so peaceful!

Jimmy and I on Thanksgiving, I love him <3333

Lovely notes in microbiology. I was learning about malaria!

My sister was away with my parents in NY for five days and on Sunday I didn’t have anything to wear to church. So I borrowed one of Hannah’s dresses. What is funny is that she wore the dress last week at church and no one noticed that I re-wore it 😉 #winning. 

Now that I look at it.. the dress is kind of short on me :/. I’ll just have to look through her closet for other ones next time, muhahah!

Yesterday I did an old-ish workout. I have been doing a lot of the same workouts lately (running & swimming & some lifting) and I’m getting a little bored. So I decided to whip out an oldie but goodie: P90x! I did a lot of P90x after I “retired” from competitive swimming in March. It has helped tremendously with the amount of pull ups I can do!

As I am writing this blog post, it is still Monday night (the same day I did p90x), so I’ll let you know how sore I am next time I post :p. I’ve also been to a few spinning classes lately to switch things up!

Well, I should probably get back to studying. Or eating pumpkin pie. Or both. In bed. With my heating blanket on.

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?!
