Day 117: Chocolate Caramel Square Layers

These little brownies are pure evil!! I made them the other day for a potluck and had way too many left over. Let's just say that breakfast, lunch and dinner today included some of these.
They are so good. My mom used to make these all the time, for functions and now I've carried on the torch. Good thing they have no fat or calories!!

Day 116: Yellow Flowers... and a Bee

 I saw these flowers/weeds near my home yesterday. I thought they looked really pretty and wanted to take some pics. Also, I thought it would be fun to try and take some pictures of some bees.

So this one has a bee on it. He's kinda blurry. This is my first attempt
at a picture of a bug. Since it was a bee, I didn't want to get to close or stay too long.
I will have to keep practicing with safer bugs I guess. 

Day 115: Old Barn

 Ever since I started this challenge, I've wanted to take pictures of this barn. And I pass it every day- not to mention it's right by my house. Today I finally did it. I just think the barn is so rustic and great looking!!

Day 114: Mmm... Soup!!

So a few weeks ago I had chicken noodle soup from the school cafeteria. My expectations weren't very high because... well, it was cafeteria food.
Boy, was I wrong!! It was probably the best chicken noodle soup I have ever tasted. I'm not kidding.
Well, since then I have been determined to try and make chicken noodle soup from scratch. Tonight I tried a recipe I found online. Not to brag or anything, but... WOW!! This was amazing. Not gonna lie... I think it compares with the cafeteria soup I had.
This was incredible!!

Don't worry, I won't leave you hanging... Here is the blog on which I found the recipe.

I did make a couple of tweaks, due to what I had in my kitchen, etc.

Instead of the celery seed, I used celery salt.
Instead of bullion I used "Better than bullion" chicken flavor
I couldn't find the Grandma Frozen Noodles anywhere. I just used Egg Noodles, boiled them in a separate pot and added them at the end.

Believe me, you'll want to try this. I think I might just want to get sick now... so that I will have an excuse to eat nothing but this soup!! :)

Day 113: Don't Forget to Laugh!!

 Sometimes life can be hard. We all have bad days. I think it's important to make sure I remember to laugh. Luckily, I have a husband who loves to make me laugh!! Also, I don't seem to have much trouble entertaining myself either... it's amazing how much fun I can have all alone with the "photo booth app" on my computer!!
Have you laughed today...?

Day 112: Modern Conveniences

Isn't it great that we live in a time where with just a short walk, and a click of a button we can have a date night?!

Day 111: School Days

My husband has just started his second semester of school. I am so proud of him!! He works so hard at his full time job and school. Last semester he got straight A's!!
