Soup Ingredients 

- 1 package thin sliced chicken breast - around 1lb (can include skin or be skinless) 

- 1 package (32 oz) frozen vegetable mix (peas, carrots, green beans, & corn) 

- 2-3 Celery Ribs 

- 1/2 Yellow Onion 

- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter 

- Chicken based Bullion (Below are two of my favorites listed & where to find them) 

    - Premium Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Base (Amazon.com) 

    - Orrington Farms Broth Base & Seasoning Chicken Flavored (Amazon.com) 

- 2 Bay leaves 

- 2 Tbsp Parsley 

- 1 tsp Thyme 

- 1 Tbsp garlic 


Biscuit Ingredients 

- 2 Cups all purpose flour

- 2 Tsp Cream of tartar 

- 1 Tbsp baking powder 

- 1/2 Tsp salt 

- 1 Tsp white sugar  

- 2 Tbsp butter 

- 1 Cup milk 


Recipe Instructions 

- Fill a large pot half way with water 

- Add a dash or two of salt & bring to a boil 

- Season chicken with seasonings of your choice (I just use salt & pepper) 

- Once the water is boiling, lower the temperature to a simmer & add the seasoned chicken, whole and 3-4 Tbsp of the bouillon of your choice. 

- While your chicken is cooking in the broth, chop up your celery & onion  

- Add celery, onion, mixed vegetables (its okay if they're still frozen), & garlic into a medium pan with butter. Cook until soft. Feel free to cover with a lid. 

- Once your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF, take it out & shred your chicken with a fork or mixer. You can also cut it into cubes here, make it your own! 

- At this point you should be able to turn the stove temperature down from medium to low heat 

- Once the chicken is shredded/cut & the vegetables are warm, add everything back into the pot 

- At this time add bay leaves, parsley, & thyme 

- Stir the soup & cover it while you prepare your biscuit mix. 

- In a large bowl, prepare your biscuit mix by adding all ingredients to form a ball of dough 

- Scoop tablespoons, or larger of the biscuit mix to the top of the soup, they should float.

- Cover with your lid & cook for 10-15 more minutes to make sure the dough is fully cooked

- Serve & enjoy (:

Are All Sugars Created Equal?

Are All Sugars Created Equal?  I think one of the most confusing nutrition topics for people is sugar. With so many conflicting stories out there, it’s difficult to separate the facts from the fiction. Not to mention, the types of sugars are endless. How do we know what’s best for our bodies? White or brown sugar? Cane or raw? Should we just go with Stevia instead? Is it even okay to consume artificial sweeteners? Should we avoid foods with high amounts of natural sugar in them? Each answer only seems to lead to another question!  Let’s start off with distinguishing the purpose of sugar in the first place. Do our bodies even need it? The short answer is yes! Sugars are carbohydrates (what we commonly call “carbs”), one of the three main macronutrients that our bodies need for fuel to function and survive. One of the major ways to categorize sugar is by separating the “natural” sugars from the “added” sugars. Natural sugars are, well, naturally found in foods. They give us the energy th

Do you struggle with pre and post exercise nutrition?

What should i eat before and after a workout? First things first…carbohydrates, proteins and fats are important for the body before  and after exercise. Exercising muscle preferentially uses carbohydrates from stored glycogen, but fats are also an important fuel source for energy production during exercise. Fats and carbohydrates are the two major fuel sources during exercise. Fats must be translocated and broken down from their storage form before they are used. Typically there is enough carbohydrate stored as muscle glycogen for exercise but as muscle glycogen stores decline, the skeletal muscle will then use some amino acids (basic components of all protein). More specifically, the amino acid leucine is used for energy.              It is important to consume an adequate amount of carbohydrates exercise to delay fatigue and minimize gastrointestinal distress. It is also important to consume enough fluids to prevent hypohydration. Now, lets talk about pre-exercise me
