Eaten ~ (one)

November Joy Dare ~ day one.
Three things eaten today that I am thankful for.
Three things that are little, part of everyday life!
Three things that are gifts, given to me. 
"Gratitude turns what we have into enough".
 
 
 1. The last Cacao Nib Truffle in the fridge! A sweet friend gave us a whole bag of cacao nibs, and we tried this recipe and it makes me think of that friend every time!

 2. Frozen pizza in the oven! Friday night has been pizza night for so many years. We share this favorite every Friday. Looking back on the week, looking forward to the weekend!


3. Leftover White Bean Chicken Chili at lunch today. :)

Thankful for soup recipes & especially this one ~

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
2(14.5 oz) cans Great Northern Beans, undrained
2 cups cooked, diced chicken (or turkey, maybe?!)
2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup salsa
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 & 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

(In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the remainder of the ingredients, except the mozzarella cheese. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the soup comes to a simmer. Add the mozzarella cheese one handful at a time, stirring to let each addition melt before adding the next. Stir to combine and make sure all the cheese has melted. Serve and enjoy soup season!)
