March Goals

Happy month of March! March means the end of all the snow and the beginning of shorts season. If you know me, you know I would wear shorts or dresses every day of the year if I could. It's been in the 60s on the East coast this week, so I am welcoming March with open arms! In honor of the first day of the new month, I've come up with a whole new list of goals to tackle!

Before we get to March, let's see how February's goals went...

Turn 27... check! I flew home to the motherland (Texas, of course) to celebrate my birthday with my twin sister and family, and then I had a wonderful weekend celebration with the husband. No complaints about 27 so far!

Add a breakfast section to my Recipes tab... fail! Total fail. I completely forgot to do this. Oopsies. 

Do 1000 push-ups... check! I love accomplishing this goal. I always feel like I can see a teensy bit more definition in my arms, which makes me happy happy happy. 

Find a new show to binge watch... check! Yall, I am already on season 3 of Revenge and completely hooked! It's only 4 seasons and I am dreading finishing it. It's so. darn. good!

Go skiing... check! Parker and I went this past weekend and had the best time! More on that tomorrow!

And now for March!

-----------------------------

Add a breakfast section to my Recipes tab. Since I failed to do this in February, let's try to get it done in March!

Ride 50 miles on my bike. This should be easy to complete, and now that the weather is pretty, I want to get back on the bike!

Redesign my blog. I have always done it myself, so I am trying to decide if I want to again redesign it myself or throw in the towel and pay someone to do it. It's just time for a little facelift!

Put my husband first. Time before the big D is passing quickly, and I want to put aside any and all selfish tendencies and completely focus on him and our marriage. 

Take a Spring Break from blogging. I want to take a week off to refocus and do a little bit of planning. This blog is a hobby that I am passionate about, and lately I haven't felt like I am putting in the time that I want to. I want to take a week to schedule posts, redesign, and think about the direction I want this little space to take. 

Yay for March and yay for goals! What are you hoping to get accomplished this month?

Chicken Pot Pie Cups

When it comes to dinner recipes, I usually find myself asking "Would that make good leftovers?". Since there are only 2 of us, most recipes yield leftovers. Leftovers make great lunches for both of us to eat on during the week, but some things are easier to take to work than others, especially if your work consists of sitting in a plane most of the day.

With that, I try to make recipes that are great for "grab and go". When my sister recommended this recipe for Chicken Pot Pie Cups, I was instantly sold! So sold, that I went to the store and made them the very next day. 

If I have the time, there is nothing better than chicken pot pie with a homemade crust. Talk about the ultimate comfort food. You won't see me buying store bought crusts (I was too spoiled as a kid with the good stuff, which can be both a blessing and a curse), but store bought biscuits are a different story! And that, my friends, is precisely what these little pies of joy are made of. How can you not love something in a biscuit?!

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1 can cream of potato soup

1 can mixed vegetables (I use Veg-all)

1/2 Tbsp Thyme

2 cans refrigerated biscuits (the regular size, not the jumbo)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a muffin tin liberally with cooking spray. 

2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except for biscuits. 

3. Place a biscuit into each muffin cup, lightly pressing into the bottom and up the sides. 

4. Evenly fill each biscuit cup with chicken mixture. 

5. Bake 12-15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. 

 

Enjoy!
