Not Just a Mom

Hello and happy Monday!

It’s one of my favorite posts of the month linking up with these ladies:

This year we’ve discussed:

This month’s topic is…comfort food.

This is definitely the time of the year for comfort food.

To me, comfort food is warm and hearty like chili, soup or a casserole.

Here are a few of my “go to” recipes that are definitely comfort foods:

I shared this recipe in my Friday Favorites post. I just saw it on Instagram, and decided to make it. It will definitely go into my cooking rotation as we move into winter.

It’s almost time for me to make our traditional Turkey Rice Soup. We use Thanksgiving turkey the day after for this soup.

Crockpot Cheese Tortellini soup

Bev’s Simple Chicken Pasta Soup

Chicken Chili

Taco Soup

Major’s Chili

Pumpkin penne sausage pasta (My favorite thing to make in the fall!)

Andrea’s Creamy Rice casserole is so good!

One Pan Chicken Alfredo

Spaghetti: Million Dollar Spaghetti and Chicken Spaghetti

One pot Roasted Red Pepper and Sausage Alfredo

Mac and cheese! Mac and cheese has always been one of my favorite foods. While Hadley can live on the box of white cheddar shells from Trader Joe’s, my favorite is this one that I occasionally make, and when I do, I always wonder why I don’t make it more often. (maybe because of all the calories…haha)

Anyway, this was quite the list…and it’s inspired me to make some of these recipes soon! I can’t wait to see what others share as well.

What’s your favorite comfort food?

I can’t believe next month will be our last Not Just a Mom post of 2023. Our topic is favorite books/series. We’d love to have you join us!

I hope you have a great week!

Blog Challenge Part 15

Posted on by jgalvinwhite

Hello and happy Thursday!

It’s been minute since I’ve worked on my Blog Challenge.

I left off with Post 14 back in July.

Today, I’m covering topics #29, #30 and 31 to wrap up this challenge.

29. Bucket List

I’m soooo lame! I can’t really think of anything, and I don’t plan on ever jumping out of an airplane or climbing Mt. Everest!

Even for being a home body, I do have travel on my list. I went to Europe when I was in high school, and I’d love to go there again.

When I was younger, I always said my dream was to be on Wheel of Fortune. I’m pretty good at that game. I guess if I ever get on that show, it will be with Ryan Seacrest as the host!

I have a tattoo on my foot, and I’ve always wanted one on my wrist. We’ll see!

I’d love to see the Golden Girls house!

My brother has been and sent me this pic! Jealous!

30. Favorite Comfort Food

Mac and cheese is for sure the best comfort food for me. I remember as a kid requesting mac and cheese as my birthday dinner. I love a homemade mac and cheese. This is one of my favorite recipes.

Soups and Mexican food are also up there on the list.

31. Weird Quirk of Mine

Oh…where to start?!?! haha

Three popped into my mind pretty immediately.

I’m superstitious about the number 13. I’ve shared that before, but I am. Even little things like the tv or car radio volume…I never have it on 13!

Also, I have a habit of playing with my hair. It’s not even a nervous thing, just something I do. I’ve tried to be cognizant of it, and not do it so much because my hair is thin and short enough!

I’d say my most weird quirk is I use my first two fingers and thumb to play with fabric like my pillow or a shirt. I don’t even know how to explain this but I guess it’s kind of soothing. When I was a kid, I sucked my thumb and held a blanket and did this with the blanket. Now if I’m sitting and thinking or I guess nervous, I do it as well.

Like I said, my list of quirks could go on and on…and on!

Do you have any “weird” quirks?

Anyway, this little “Blog Challenge” was fun. I enjoyed the topics, and there were definitely some I wouldn’t have thought to write about.

Thanks for following along.
