Guys and gals....this is a recipe you HAVE to try. I made this the other night just by throwing things together. My husband was going to be home from work within a half hour. I'd been so busy with the kids that I had not even thought about what I was going to make for dinner, much less started making it. I had no it would be such a hit. I didn't take any pictures because it was literally just thrown together. But I will do my best to explain everything in detail!

What You Will Need

1 can all white meat chicken

1 medium onion

1 red bell pepper

1/2 package spaghetti noodles

1 jar Alfredo sauce

1 Tbs salt

1 Tbs pepper

1/2 tsp minced garlic

Olive oil

1 Tbs Italian seasoning

Directions

Slice onion and bell pepper. Drizzle your olive oil in a medium sized skillet until the bottom is slightly coated. Add minced garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Over low-med heat let vegetables simmer, covered, until soft. While that is cooking, add water, a pinch of salt, and spaghetti noodles, to a large pot. Boil until noodles are soft. Open can of chicken, drain and rinse, then add to a separate, smaller pot. I also drizzled olive oil in the bottom of this pot to cook the chicken in. Add salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to chicken and cook until heated through. Once your vegetables are done (they will be soft), add chicken and Alfredo sauce to that skillet. When the noodles are done, add those also. I re-covered the skillet and let simmer for about 10 minutes so all of the flavors could blend a bit better. 

Bon Apetit!

This was seriously SO delicious and only took a total of about 45 minutes to make, start to finish. My husband and my children loved it! I was worried for nothing and wish I had taken some pictures so I could add them to this blog post. 

I hope you guys will try it and enjoy it as much as we did!

Hugs and Love, 

Hurt people, hurt people...

Everyone on this planet has been hurt at some point in their life. It's part of being human. Some more than others. Sadly, those that are perpetually hurt, tend to grow up with anger in their hearts thus hurting those around them. Anger stems from pain. 

There are those that deal with hurt a lot better than others. And there are those that have a glaring fault...hurting those around them, especially the ones they love. There is another saying that is widely known. "You hurt the ones you love the most". That one is also true. Why do we do this? Probably because we know those people will always love us no matter how we treat them, and a lot of the time, that is true. 

I have been the one to hurt others while I was hurting. I directed my pain in the wrong direction and I've pushed people away, and hurt those that meant the world to me. I've asked for forgiveness and salvaged relationships, but it was a journey to get there. I believe we've all been the victim and the perpetrator in these types of life events. We're flawed, we're sinful. 

The reason I am writing all of this is because it may be a comfort to someone out there beating themselves up for doing this. I've spent many days feeling worthless for having this flaw but, we've all done it. It doesn't make you any worse or a bad person. It makes you human. Many nights I've prayed that God would help me through the pain I was experiencing. To help me forgive those who had wronged me. After all, you are only hurting yourself while they go on and live their lives. It could be a bad divorce, an absent or abusive parent, a lousy friend, anything. You just have to forgive them and move on with your life. There are a lot of people in the world who are going to hurt you, use you, wrong you, and definitely not love you. But, there are a lot of people out there who will love you and treat you right. You just have to focus on them, and do something we've all had a hard time doing before, do not punish them for the wrongdoings of others.

Pain can destroy your life if you let it. 

Don't let it.

"Be kind to everyone, we all fight battles that others know nothing about".  

Oh how very true that is.
