New Recipe! Quick Chicken Soup 11/01/2015 We are coming into the heart of cold and flu season here in upstate NY. As soon as I have a sniffle or feel a twinge of a sore throat my first instinct is to make chicken soup. I've made MANY recipes for chicken soup in my lifetime, but I find that some recipes can be overly complicated (yet delicious) and some can be quick but virtually flavorless. I wanted to create a soup that was the best of both worlds- easy to throw together, but flavorful and delicious too. I chose to use boneless,

Homemade Fall Spice Body Scrub! 10/25/2015 I am SO excited to post this body scrub recipe for you guys! I started making my own body scrubs last winter because my skin was SO dry and needed some love. I didn't want to use some of the scrubs I was finding in the store because I didn't like the long lists of things I couldn't pronounce in the ingredients list. So, I turned to Pinterest, naturally! I found a few scrubs on there that I made and I used them all winter long- they kept my skin smooth and soft- I was hooked! The fact that

New Recipe: Chili! 10/18/2015 It's mid-October here in upstate NY, and when the weather starts to get chilly outside it always reminds me to go INSIDE and make a big batch of comforting chili!

Everyone seems to have their own favorite version of this comforting dish, and people can get quite heated over what chili recipes are the best. This is my version, take it or leave it! I do have to say though that

Mixed Berry Smoothie 10/16/2015 Happy Friday evening everyone! I am home sick tonight (caught the bad cold that is going around work and my home), but I wanted to be sure to come on and post this quick and easy recipe. I actually had this for breakfast this morning because I knew I was getting sick (had a wicked sore throat). Smoothies are something I LOVE to have when I'm sick (especially when I have a sore throat) because sometimes I just don't want to have to chew and swallow and the coolness of the smoothie soothes my
