Nanny to Mommy

With the season changing and things getting cooler outside, I have been on the lookout for more hearty filling meals. I have been trying to switch up our meal plan because it fills like we are eating the same things over and over again, which is fine, but can get boring after a while. So I found a recipe called Chicken Pot Pie Bubble Up and altered it to make what I now like to call Lazy Chicken Pot Pie. My entire family loves it and any meal that can get my kiddos to eat their veggies is a mom win in my book!

For this recipe, we add more chicken because protein really bulks up a meal and fills you up for longer, but you don't have to. You can also use canned chicken to make this even easier. You could use canned veggies as well, but we didn't enjoy the taste at all. We don't normally eat canned vegetables so that could be why. It could definitely make this meal even cheaper than it already is. I love how easy this Lazy Chicken Pot Pie Recipe is to make as well as inexpensive it is. Some have called it chicken pot pit bubble up, but that requires you to make the dough from scratch. I will include those directions below, but I like taking the easy way out whenever I can.

There are many reasons for switching to a healthier lifestyle. Whether it is an attempt to lose weight or just wanting better health in general, you cannot deny the benefits of healthy eating. The trick is finding a way to work with your schedule and taste buds so you don't get bored and stop after only a short time. Here are tips, tricks, and techniques for healthy eating success.

Halloween time is here! I love celebrating every holiday to it's fullest and if I can take this time of year to show my neighbors or people close to me how much they mean to me, then that is what I am going to do. When we first moved into our neighborhood, someone sent us a neighborhood Christmas gram and we never figured out who did it, but it was such a fun idea! I wish I had taken a picture of it. So I have decided this All Hallows Eve (Spooky Season) season that I would share a fun printable to get into the spirit and share spooky treats with my neighbors. With Boo Baskets becoming a trend again, this a fun kid-friendly option that they will surely love!

This year, all my goodies came from Oriental Trading because they have everything you need for a one stop Halloween shop at a great price. They have exclusive candy items like Unicorn Poop marshmallows, costumes for the entire family, decorations that range from spooky to seasonal, graphic tees for all, and so much more. I love working with them and it's has been one of my go to shopping places since my mom told me about them years ago. She loved shopping there for supplies for her classroom when she was a teacher.
