Chicken Spaghetti

When I first saw this recipe, I didn't know exactly what to think.

I knew I was intrigued, but I'd never made anything like it, 

so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect taste wise.

I put off making it and sorta forgot about it for awhile.

But then I saw the recipe again on a different blog

and I knew right then and there that I had to try it!

Keep reading to see how it's made,

and to find out what I really thought after tasting.

Homemade Soup: Taco Soup

I saw this soup recipe on a blog I read and it sounded amazing!

I couldn't wait to make it and give it a try.

I did so not too long after spotting the recipe.

And I haven't blogged about a homemade soup in awhile,

so I thought it was time I shared another yummy soup on my blog.

This recipe is so easy to make and gives you quite a few servings. 

I made enough to eat for a few meals and then freeze some for later.
(Note: I've found that it's easier to freeze soup in individual servings.)

Take a look below at the process and then give it a try.

Regrowing Green Onions

On multiple blogs, I had seen posts about regrowing green onions, and at first I didn't think anything of it. But after seeing it time and time again, I thought to myself - Why don't YOU do that Robyn? I mean, what did I really have to lose? Nothing! That's what. 

So, shortly after deciding to give it a try, I bought some green onions. I used the green parts in a recipe or two and put the rest in a glass with the roots in the water. I hoped for the best, but didn't really think much of it.

Until I noticed that they were already regrowing THE NEXT DAY! 

I couldn't believe how fast I was seeing progress and couldn't wait to see what was next.

Unless I have to use the white parts for a something, 

I plan to keep regrowing my green onions and NOT have to buy them for quite some time!
