Afternoon Thunderstorm and Chicken Gnocchi Soup

Tuesday was a good day!  I took Eric to the airport and dropped him off for his flight to Chicago.  They have their Aspire event this week.

On the way back, I did my weekly grocery shopping at Wal-Mart.  It is SO nice to have a vehicle in the day and not have to go at night.  I stopped at Chick-Fil-A after shopping and tried the new Honey Pepper Pimento chicken sandwich.  It is pricey (I didn't realize that!).  I enjoyed it but not enough to pay $7 for it.  I like the deluxe sandwich better.

It began to rain some while I was out.  Put all the groceries away and worked on school for a couple hours.  Then a HUGE thunderstorm hit and lasted a couple hours.  I love afternoon storms here when the house gets dark!  You can put on the ambiance music, turn on the lights, and enjoy the storm!  And that I did!





So cozy!


I made copycat Olive Garden chicken gnocchi soup for our dinner with slices of French bread and butter on the side.  So good.  I will share that recipe this week.  It is such a good soup for fall time. :)


Autumn stayed after work to attend a church college small group.

I worked on some blogging, read my book, and went to bed.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1 cup) 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup mayo 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (optional) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
