Reflection Post #3

Hello Readers!
                I am writing to you with a reflection on my past week working on my Genius Hour. I am really happy to report that I feel like I’ve been having a great week putting all my learnings and advice to the test! I’ve been very successful with my grocery shopping habits and meal planning! A big testament to my success with meal planning has been utilizing my slow cooker at home. Over the past week I have made both a beef and bean chili and chicken noodle soup in my slow cooker! Well, I should give the credit of the chicken noodle soup to my boyfriend, he manned that operation while I was at school, but I certainly got to reap the benefits!
                Having made the beef and bean chili on Sunday, I had dinner that evening but also had enough leftovers to bring to work on Monday, and have a lunch at school on Tuesday and Thursday when I needed it! Also having the chicken noodle soup as an option was great for an easy, light lunch. That is the first time I have ever had soup out of a slow cooker and the first time my boyfriend had ever made it. Let me tell you, it was phenomenal! He had lots of chicken, onion, celery, carrots, spices and egg noodles packed into a hearty soup! It tasted great and it is so much healthier for you than canned soup! We were pretty proud of our meal prepping that week!
                Here’s hoping for more weeks like this! Delicious prepped food saving time and money!
