Look What I Made! {3}

It's crock pot season!
And my Pinspiration is going strong.
One of my goals for 2014 is to try a new recipe or craft each week...
so stay tuned!

This chicken tortilla soup got rave reviews from the men in my life.
{and I loved it too!}
You can find the recipe HERE
{I added rice because I had some left over...and I'll do that when I make it again}

Yup. This was GOOD.

Over the weekend, I took a very quick trip to Philadelphia.
There was a group of people from New England that all traveled to my home town
for the memorial service of a dear friend. 
At the invitation of her family, 
we were flown down and back on a private jet.
This was a first for me.
It was odd to have such a "ritzy" experience in the context of something so sad.
Totally RANDOM.
{if I'm being honest....it's a really nice way to travel!}

While I was gone,
we got snow in Boston.

Once the sun came out on Sunday,
I took my iPhone outside and used my Easy-Macro lens to catch these shots.
Ice and pine needles.
Yes, it's true.
I'm having way too much FUN with this silly iPhone macro lens!!

  3. I've never used pineapple in a savory way - sounds yummy!

    So sorry the ritzy experience came for a somber reason. And that surprise snow? JR commented on my instagram picture saying he had NO clue it was going to snow that much!

  9. The soup sounds (and looks) delicious and I would agree that a private jet would be an awesome way to travel (even in the context of such a sad event). And seriously - I can't get those macros with my big-girl camera and macro lens (perhaps because I'm a wuss).

  13. your soup really does look delicious. We must live close by each other. I am on the north shore of Boston. We have no snow here as we are right on the ocean...perhaps tonight they are saying.
