2 Cups Chicken Stock
2 Tablespoons Fish Sauce
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter
1 1/2 Pounds Chicken Breasts, Cut into 1 1/2 Inch Pieces (we shredded ours at the end while it was still in the soup - it just fell apart)
1 Red Bell Pepper, Seeded and Sliced into 1/4 Inch Slices

Recently I was missing Thailand a lot.  The colors and flavors and smells all make me feel so relaxed.   When an old friend linked this recipe through Instagram, the picture alone was enough to make me drool and I was thrilled to find out I only needed to buy a few ingredients to make this in my house that week.  As usual, the most appealing part was the crock pot, and boy did it deliver.  I loved every single drop of this, but more importantly, Bill told me he could eat this once a week.  He is by no means a picky eater, but I love finding things he really loves :)  So, this recipe will quickly become a staple in the Roger's household and I hope you like it too! 

As always, I want to make sure the photo credit and recipe credit go to the right place!  In this instance I pulled the recipe and photo from the blog FoodieCrush and would recommend you taking a look at the other recipes on there.  Lot's of goodness I intend to dive into.

Have a lovely weekend friends and eat well!

    James is so excited to try this recipe. He showed it to me a few days ago and listed off the ingredients to make sure we have everything. We'll let you know how it goes!

In the Nursery: Whole Hearted Parenting Manifesto

I recently finished a book by Brene Brown titled, DaringGreatly .  It really moved me, and I am definitely still processing it. At the beginning of the book I wasn’t resonating deeply with the topic of vulnerability, as most people will tell you I am an “open book”.  I will answer most questions without holding back and love to deep dive into good conversation.  However, what I came to realize through her many examples is that we all wrestle with vulnerability, guilt and shame throughout this book even if is more momentary than constant.  I gleaned SO MUCH from this book that I did not anticipate, and I thought I would share this Parenting Manifesto that she put right at the end of the book.  I am printing it and framing it for our nursery, as I think it communicates some deep parts of my heart cry for parenting my kiddos well. I hope this resonates with someone else as much as it did with me.   I needed these words to remind me that parenting is not a checklist,

At the Library - May through September 2019 Reading

We had another baby in May (SO much more on that later) and blogging has obviously taken a back seat, but I am still reading for pleasure and have managed, in my sons first four months of life, to complete these 8 books!  Y'all, I remember a time when even completing 2 books a year would have sincerely sounded daunting, much less with a newborn.  If you want to read more, you can find the time!  Take stock of your days and see where you are wasting hours.  For some of these, I listened to the audio book while I was pumping or watering the garden.   Rather than give you an individual breakdown of each of these books, I just want to report I found them all incredibly enjoyable.  A total cross section of a food memoir to a psychology deep dive to nature centric novels, I would recommend them all in different capacities.   We have fallen a bit behind on our Bible reading, but we WILL finish by the end of the year. You do not make it to September

A Penny For Your Thoughts - Looking Back & Missing Italy

 I took this my first day in Italy, and will always remember my town just like this... I realized something about my writing the other day, and that is that I am much more present in my writing than I am in my brain.   I am constantly thinking back, but I never write about my past.   Sure, I write a story here or there reminiscing on my African travel, but rarely do you hear about my life pre-California unless it is in reference to my family.   Lately, I have found myself pining for Italy.   Did you know I lived there?   Probably not, because I rarely mention it! I knew I was going to love it there, but it has stuck with me since the moment I left.   I have wanted to go back every   minute of every day since then.   The simplicity of life, the emphasis on slowing down, the architecture, the food, the flowers, the people, the color, the trains, the bikes, the gelato, the smiles and laughter, the wine, and the cities are only scratching the surface of things I love from the bea
