Recipe of the Week and Looking Back....

Well, I've decided to steal a great idea from my friend Erin. She's been posting a recipe each week that she likes, and I"ve enjoyed reading them so I thought I'd do the same. I'm going to share some lowfat recipes that I've been enjoying thanks to my diet. I finally got back on it this week as I went back to work, and had a successful week losing 3.4 pounds. So my first recipe is one that I LOVED. Here goes...

Chickenetti

1 cup fat free, low sodium chicken broth
16 oz spaghetti, cooked (I used whole wheat)
4-6 cups cubed and cooked chicken
10 3/4 oz can fat free cream of celery soup
1 cup water
1/4 cup chopped green bell peppers
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 medium sized onion, chopped
1/2 lb 2% Velveeta, cubed

1. Put chicken broth into a crock pot. Add spaghetti and chicken
2. In large bowl, combine soup and water until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients, then pour into slow cooker.
3. Cover. Cook on low 2-3 hours

YUMMM!

The other morning I went to wake up Aubrey and found this sleeping angel....



Our first week back at work was actually pretty painless. Everyone made me feel very welcomed; they all brought in breakfast on Monday, and had "Welcome Back Summer" signs all around. I even got a beautiful boquet of flowers. The girls seemed to adjust pretty easily as well.

We've been getting ready for Madelyn's birthday party. I can't believe she's almost 2!! We did some shopping this morning and when we got home decided to try out Aubrey's Bumbo seat.




When I got on the computer I started looking at old pictures and just HAD to show some of my favorites. Some of them made me laugh out loud!!

Halloween

Playing in the snow
At the beach - I'm not sure what she's doing here...



And my favorite - Madelyn the Grump



Well, the girls are crazy and it's time to start the bedtime routines.
