Creamy Pumpkin Chicken Chili (Paleo & AIP)

Whelp, in true Colorado fashion the weather went from 70 degrees to 20 overnight. It’s snowing……and I need some chili stat. Luckily I had some precooked sweet potatoes and chicken thighs, and a leftover half can of pumpkin puree. Aha! Pumpkin chicken chili! I’d really like to say this was totally planned since it’s the […]

Anyone else getting those gains, working full time and being a 4 year old’s tech support for @abcmouse today? . . . . . . #gymrat #fitmom #homegym #lifttogetlean #girlswholift #momswholift #raisingstronggirls #parenthood #doingmypart #gymclosed #workingfromhome #hystersister #endwarrior #fibrowarrior #adenowarrior #legday #mombod #homeschool #hysterectomyrecovery #socialdistancing #wellnessblogger #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #workingmom #fitfam #gaiam #girlswithmuscle

We spent a LOT of time in the kitchen yesterday cooking and baking for @sethulturahigh’s birthday. Thea’s excitement to celebrate him made our little party so much more happy. Kids bring so much joy in all situations. . . . . #klutz #birthday #pie #kidsinthekitchen #littlehelper #doingourpart #momlife #motherhoodunplugged #socialdistancing #baking #fouryearsold #preschooler #kidsactivities #stuckinside

Feeling cute in my PPE (add that to the list of things I never thought I’d say). Thanks for your mad sewing skills @jillbhansen! . . . . #facemaskselfie #facemask #supergirl #flattenthecurve #wearebroomfield #doingmypartco #safetyfirst

Get outside (responsibly). Enjoy the weekend (responsibly). Run through the sprinklers and let loose like a little kid that’s beautifully unaware of the current pandemic. Capture the moments of “before” that are still capable of existing. . . . . #wearebroomfield #doingourpartco #socialdistancing #colorado #weekendvibes #sunshine

Boss babing with the mini. . . Thea set up a little desk for herself in my office and is “working” on her computer. This lil’ lady is going to do big things one day, and I can’t wait to see it. . . . . #workfromhome #workingmom #raisingdaughters #girlboss #socialdistancing #raisingstronggirls #workworkworkworkwork #leapfrog #doingmypartco #doingourpart #womeninbusiness

New normal- I’m working remotely, Seth’s on partial unemployment, Thea’s out of daycare. Who else is working on focusing on the positives of this situation? We are spending more time together than we have in ages! . . . . #workingfromhome #workingmom #socialdistancing #doingmypartco #broomfieldcolorado #familytime #wearebroomfield

We went out today to spread cheer and happiness to everyone walking past our house to the open space at the bottom of our street. These family moments and ability to connect with our community are some of the small positives coming out of such a horrid situation. I pray they stay long after we beat this thing. . . . . #spreadinglove #community #doingmypart #doingourpartco #colorado #broomfield #parenting #coloradostrong #artforkids #chalkyourwalk #socialdistancing #wearebroomfield

Thea drew Odin today 😍. With everything going on, I’ve really missed having him around. Dogs always know exactly when you need cuddles and companionship, and Odin always made me laugh with all of his antics. It’s too quiet and clean in our house and I miss him to pieces.

Who’s been working out from home? 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I’m having a hell of a time staying motivated, so I’m really focused on getting a schedule set up to keep me on track. Last week was a week to adjust- this week is to embrace my new normal (at least for awhile). . . . . #fitmom #homeworkout #hysterectomyrecovery #hystersister #endowarrior #tattedmom #gymrat #girlswithmuscle #lifttogetlean #mondaymotivation #exercisebands #gaiam #quarentine #stayhome #workoutmotivation #healthylifestyle #mentalhealth #getmoving #exerciseismedicine #adenomyosis #wellnessblogger #doingourpart #doingmypartco

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.” -Anne Frank . . Do not forget to get out and breathe in the fresh air. It’s good for the soul. Whether it be your backyard, a balcony or an empty trail, I promise it will make you happy. . . . . #socialdistancing #getoutside #natureisbeautiful #mentalhealth #parenting #colorado #wearebroomfield

Tonight’s “Quarantine Cuisine”. It’s got the other half of a box of noodles I got for crafts in it. Waste not want not! We aren’t on official quarantine or lockdown out here in Colorado- but it’s important for us all to act like it and do our part.. . One of the things I realized when I started cooking seriously was that we do some silly things- one of them being throwing away homemade broth and using store bought. Tonight’s soup stock was the crockpot juices from our St. Patrick’s day corned beef. I tossed in anything that was was left in the veggie drawer from the week- mushrooms, zucchini, summer squash, parsley, thyme, and the leftover slow cooked carrots, cabbage, parsnip, turnip and onion from Tuesday. Tossed in the random noodles and some chicken thighs and I can feed us for days. And- IT WAS DELICIOUS! . . This is a time where we should not waste. Where we should get creative in our kitchens. Where we can do our part by getting back to basics. . . #nomnom #quarantinecuisine #antiinflammatorydiet #cleaneating #endodiet #eattherainbow #veggies #wellnessblogger #recipeblogger #foodporn #foodie #stew #socialdistancing #cookingonabudget #healthylifestyle #cookingwithleftovers #homemadefood #budgetmeals #soupseason
