Try a New Recipe Tuesday: Noodle Wonder

This week my recipe is my own creation. I love experimenting in the kitchen. I throw things together and hope it comes out yummy! My specialties seem to be soup and pasta. I asked my kids what we should call this and one of them burst out with "Noodle Wonder." And of course our last name goes well with that so in order to give myself credit, I decided it should be called "Newell Noodle Wonder." Enjoy!

 
Noodle Wonder

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
1 tbsp. olive oil
fresh garlic, finely chopped
1 medium onion, diced
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
dried basil
8 oz. egg noodles
Grated Parmesan cheese


Cook egg noodles as directed on package. Saute garlic and onion in olive oil for 7-8 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil and chicken. Simmer for 4-5 minutes. Combine with cooked noodles. Serve with Parmesan cheese on top.

 The Life of a Sippy Cup Mom!, Stash Mama and The Adventures of Goober Grape and Monkey Man, One + One=Four and Carrie With Children have teamed up to cohost Follow Me, Chickadee! 

Meet Me on Monday!

 Java at Never Growing Old is hosting the 30th "Meet Me on Monday."

Blogging is a funny thing...we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, "who is this person!?" I know them...but yet I don't know them! I want to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great way for all of us to "meet" each other!
Questions:

1.  Have you (only you..not a group) ever won first place in anything?
2.  Are your toes always painted (sorry guys...this question for girls only)?
3.  What color eyes do you have?
4.  Look to your left....what do you see?
5.  Soft cookies or crunchy cookies?

My Answers:  Have you (only you..not a group) ever won first place in anything? 

  I honestly can't think of anything right now. I'm sure I did as a kid, like a spelling bee or something.
Are your toes always painted (sorry guys...this question for girls only)? 

 Ha, that's funny!! I have 4 kids, I don't have time to make sure my toes are always painted. I do try to paint them every once in awhile.  What color eyes do you have? 

 Green.  Look to your left....what do you see? 

 55 gallon fish tank with a huge king cichlid.  Soft cookies or crunchy cookies? 

 Definitely soft.

Applied Labels Review

I had the opportunity to try out Applied Labels Dishwasher and Laundry Safe labels. Applied Labels are Applied Labels LLC's flagship and most popular product.  They're extremely tough, ultra versatile and perfect for labeling:

   *bottles

   *sippy cups

   *shoes

   *school supplies

   *gadgets

   *summer camp gear

   *all those little things that go to early childcare centers

Applied Labels are available with and without icons or with a second line of custom print.

I chose for my labels to be personalized with the name of my 7 month old and to include the ladybug icon. I used the labels on a tag of her blankie toy, a milk container and another toy. I was very impressed that the label stayed on the bottle even after soaking in water. I love being able to neatly put her name on her toys so that if she takes one to the church nursery, everyone will know it's hers. These labels are great for clothing, especially sweaters and coats that get removed indoors, as well as toys, bottles, cups and anything else with a clean, smooth surface.

What makes Applied Labels better?

• BETTER ADHESION
• BETTER PRINTING TECHNOLOGY & INK
• BETTER RESOLUTION
• BETTER INNOVATION
• BETTER QUALITY CONTROL & SHIPPING 
• BETTER EXPERIENCE & TECHNOLOGY BASE
• BETTER MATERIAL SELECTION
• BETTER SAFETY PROMISE AND MATERIALS KNOWLEDGE

 You can purchase 30 Classic Applied Labels on their website for $14.95. Find Applied Labels on Facebook and Twitter.

Ever Thought About an African Safari?

Have you thought about what to do with all the money you've been saving by couponing? I know for some of us, saving money is just a necessity to be able to pay bills and survive. But what if couponing allowed you to tuck away even a little money every month? What would you save for? A bigger house? A new car? A vacation?

I would love to be able to go on a dream vacation. Not your typical go-visit-family-or-friends vacation. Not even a cruise, although I want to do that too. I would love to take a month off from life and travel. My perfect destination? I would have to pick between an African Safari or Australia snorkeling/scuba diving. I would love to do both. But for now, while my coupon savings go towards feeding the mouths of 4 adorable children, I can only live vicariously through friends.

Check out this article written by a dear friend of mine who had the opportunity to live in Africa for an extended period of time! My father-in-law also had the chance to do an African Safari. And yet another dear friend was able to visit Australia where she met up with yet another mutual online friend. How cool is that? Pictures are worth a thousand words, but a real life experience would be the best. Maybe some day. For now, I'll keep clipping and saving.
