I know it might come as a surprise me sharing a recipe.
Those that know me, know I dislike cooking.
Well.. I am trying to like cooking.
And because of that I am on the hunt for good recipes.
A lot of the time I want them to be
crock pot meals, casseroles, or easy less than 3o minute meals.
Because frankly I can tell ya that I could do something else with my time.
However..
Because it is one of my NY resolutions I have
been trying to actively cook.
Is is 100%? No.
But it is a lot better.
I am finding that the most important thing
for me is to ensure that I either make it when I am
making that nights meal {for the next night} or I make it
early in the AM when I wake up cause I am full of energy.
So..
I thought I'd share this recipe with you.
It is that yummy!
Alyssa loved it {she eats anything anyway}
and it was a 15 minute meal to create,
gotta love that!
Pesto Ravioli with Chicken
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast strips
3/4 cups of chicken broth
1 package of refrigerated cheese-filled ravioli
Zucchini cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 cup of pesto
Parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Heat oil over medium high heat.
Cook chicken in oil 4 minutes.
Remove chicken from skillet.
2. Add broth and ravioli to skillet.
Heat to boiling; reduce heat then cover.
Cook 4 minutes or until ravioli are tender.
3. Stir zucchini, bell pepper, and chicken into ravioli.
Cook over medium heat 3 minutes.
Stir occasionally until veggies are crisp-tender.
Toss with pesto.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Okay I didn't exactly follow the directions. I didn't take the chicken out like it stated and it cooked just fine and tasted just great. I also added broccoli to the mix to get another veggie in there.
This meal was great. We had a slice of french bread and a relish tray of tomatoes and cucumbers.
It's a great meal and very easy!
1 serving=375 calories it's about 9 points in WW total.
They are finally going to post the jobs for Starbucks. It seems like it was just last year
when it was supposed to be opened by now. But things happen that way sometimes
and not on time or planned.
They are putting out the supervisor job positions the end of this month.
I know that I am going for one of the supervisors positions.
I thought in the beginning I was going to do the regular PT position but the more
I think on it, the better it seems to keep the intermittent position so that
I can ensure that I am there for my family but still have that position.
Please pray for me as that takes place. I want to ensure that I am leaning upon Christs' path
for me with this.
A and I watched the new American Girl movie last night.
It was a really good movie.
It was called
Carissa's Stands Strong.
It was about Carissa and how she was being bullied.
Even though I am a grown adult, I learned from this movie.
The first word in a friendship is hello.
You know what? I am going to start saying hello more!
It was a really cute movie and one I highly recommend watching with your daughter if you have one.

These are A's and my bibles. They were just sitting on the table from last night
cause of what we were studying.
I am so thankful that she and I study the word together!

I love the picture of y'all's Bibles!!! You can tell a lot about a person when you see their Bible. Well, I say that and my Bible cover is all black. But the binding on my Bible is coming apart, and I have notes everywhere.
Elizabeth - You steal the show wherever you go, so don't you worry about stealing my blog post! You can't help it :)
Love & Blessings~~~
