Cheer's to Turning 40!

Cheers to turning 40!

The last 10 years have been incredible. They have also had a lot of ups and downs.

It's crazy to look back 10 years and see everything that has happened. How things change over time. All the opportunities we had. The mistakes we made. The regrets we have. The blessings we've experienced.

Here's just part of the amazing and not so amazing real life things we've been through :)

We moved to Georgia from Maryland.

Jason deployed to Afghanistan for 9 heart wrenching months.

I started a business <3 and found my purpose.

Jason retired from the Army after serving for 22 years. Wow!

We had some really hard experiences with a special needs teenager and had to make some hard choices.

Jason and I almost split up multiple times.

We pulled through by the grace of GOD and our relationship is stronger than ever!

We have gotten a lot of vehicle debt and paid off almost all that debt lol.

I was able to travel so many places! Vegas, Nashville, Palm Springs, Destin, Kentucky, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Orlando, Charleston, Palm Springs, Virginia Beach, Raleigh, D.C., New Orleans, Houston, and 4 free work trips with the hubby (2 cruises, Cancun, and the Dominican Republic).

I've had many laughs and many tears and lots of love.

I've made so many friends who live all over!

And as I reminisce; I realize how much I have grown. I am healthy and strong and working on finding happiness through the struggles of depression and anxiety.

10 years ago, I was in a bad place. Resentful. Angry. Bitter. Depressed. Lonely. I felt my life lacked purpose and I had no hope that we would ever break free from living paycheck to paycheck as a military family who had made bad financial decisions.

I feel like I was just finding myself in my 30's. Trying to figure out where I fit in, what my purpose was...And to think about the changes emotionally, physically and financially from just the last 10 years makes me smile because I know the next 10 are going to be even BETTER.

I am just getting started.

Cheers to making 40's ROCK!

Chicken Green Chili White Bean Soup Recipe

Pressure Cooker Recipe ~ Chicken Green Chili White Bean Soup

I whipped this up in my Instant Pot pressure cooker and fell in love with the flavors. It is really simple and quick to make and you can easily swap out the beans if you have some different white beans on hand. The original recipe called for cannellini beans, but I had white navy beans and white beans in chili sauce on hand.

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to follow me on my Facebook page at Jennifer Wood, or my Healthy Recipe Community.

Yields: 6 servings

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 red onion and 1/2 yellow onion, or 1 medium onion, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, or 4 mini sweet red peppers (the ones in the bag)
1 carton of chicken stock
1 cup water
2 chicken breasts (remove one half of a breast once cooked and save for another meal)
1 tsp prepared garlic, or 1 large clove fresh garlic chopped
1 can white navy beans
1 can white beans in green chili sauce
1 can diced green chiles
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
cilantro, chopped for finishing touches! Gives a lot of flavor. Just a tad will do!

Set pressure cooker to saute function (high). Saute onion, bell pepper for about 5 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic and salt, pepper & spices and saute for a minute more. Add in remaining ingredients: chicken stock, beans, chiles, 1 cup water.

Secure lid and cook on soup setting (20 minutes).

Allow pressure to naturally release. Pull out chicken. Allow to cool. Shred 1 and a half chicken breasts and place the chicken back into the soup. Save the rest for lunch or another meal. I am all about cooking smarter not harder! You can also freeze the shredded chicken for a later meal.

Serve soup in bowls with a little cilantro on top.

21 Day Fix -  Shift Shop - Fixate Meal Plan equivalents: 1/2 green, 1/2 red, 1 1/2 yellow, 1/2 tsp

Stove modifications: 
Saute onions and peppers in oil. Add in remaining ingredients and simmer on low for 20-30 minutes. Remove chicken; shred chicken. Add chicken back into soup. Enjoy!

Suggestions: You could easily add in some spinach or kale to increase the veggies.
I like to add Cholula hot sauce to mine!
