Soup weather

Its raining and pouring outside, and we totally overdid the food last week for Thanksgiving. Those factors combined mean it's soup weather at our house. Last night I tried out a new recipe (which is always risky with opinionated elementary age kids in the house) and surprise it was a success!


Not only did everyone eat, but the recipe was simple and on the table in about 30 minutes. It's an egg drop soup with chicken. We also had steamed rice and edamame....have to have our veggies! It also gave me an excuse to use up some chicken & veggie broth from last week. One of the easiest crock pot recipes ever..that'll have to be the next food post.

Egg Drop soup with chicken



Ingredients
·                     4  cups low-sodium chicken broth
·                     3  tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
·                      garlic cloves, smashed
·                     1- 1/2  teaspoons ground ginger
·                     4  ounces wide rice noodles or pad thai noodles, broken into 3-inch pieces ( or substitute a handful of regular egg noddles)
·                     2  tablespoons cornstarch
·                      eggs, lightly beaten
·                     1- 1/2  cups cooked, shredded chicken

Directions
1. Bring the broth, 1-1/2 cups water, soy sauce, garlic and ginger to a boil over medium-high heat in a medium-size saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and cook broth mixture for 10 minutes.
2. Remove the garlic cloves with a slotted spoon and add noodles to pot; cook for 4 minutes or until tender.
3. Meanwhile, stir together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl; whisk into broth and cook for 1 minute or until thickened.
4. Stir the soup so it is moving in a circular direction. Pour in the beaten eggs in a slow, steady stream. Stir in chicken. Serve immediately. Original recipe from recipe.com


Enjoy! What's your favorite soup recipe???...the simpler the better.

Fabulous Friday Fitness Challenge...step it up!

Time to S T E P  I T  U P girls!

The other day a random guy at the gym paid me a compliment on my legs. Compliments are far and few between for me, aside from my hubby who believes in flattery, but when I do get one it's always about my legs. Why? I believe it's a combination of good genes and billions and billions of squats and lunges.

So find a step and do one of my favorite leg exercises. This one will get your heart pumping and tone those legs. Face the bottom stair of a flight of stairs, a turned over (sturdy please) box, a curb or for a real challenge a picnic bench. Step up with one foot, follow with the other for a toe tap, then back down you go. Repeat leading with the other foot. That's one. Repeat for 20. Rest. Repeat.

Thank me in the morning for those burning hamstrings, glutes and tight calves.

READY...SET...GO!!! 

comment when you are done.
