1 // AN IMMUNITY BOOST FOR FALL & WINTER
I’ve been on a big immune system research kick the past few months. We already use and love Nuun electrolyte tablets, so I was excited to try their Immunity line. The blend includes vitamin C, elderberry extract, ginger powder, turmeric and echinacea – all good stuff! I really like it when I’m feeling stressed or starting to get a tickle in my throat. You can find these on their website, but they’re also available on Amazon.
2 // ANOTHER WAY TO TRACK WHAT I’M READING
A few months ago, I stumbled on a Youtube video called How I Organize My Reading! In that video, she mentioned Notion and even offered a free template to make a reading tracker like hers. I was intrigued and decided to give it a try. Fast forward to today and I LOVE it. Perfect for a numbers/statistics nerd like me.
3 // A QUICK AND EASY CHILI RECIPE
I have accumulated many different chili recipes over the years, some super simple and some more involved. This recipe is one of my easiest and has been our go-to lately. We use it for everything from chili dogs, poured over baked potatoes or eaten as is with big pans of cornbread.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. browned ground beef
15oz can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
15oz can black beans (drained and rinsed)
14.5oz tomato sauce
14.5oz crushed tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth
homemade chili seasoning (recipe below)CHILI SEASONING
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp onion powderCombine all of the ingredients in a large pot. Heat on medium-high until the chili starts to simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or longer.
4 // A NON-UNDERWIRE BRA THAT WORKS
Not to be too TMI, but I have a really hard time finding a great fitting brassiere. I purchased two of these after reading the glowing recommendation of another blogger and wow, I’m a huge fan. The fabric is so soft and comfortable! This is their website, but you can also order on Amazon. (P.S. Make sure the seller is actually Floatley – bad Chinese knockoffs are being sold under the same listing.)
5 // A NEW-TO-ME FRUGAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL
I recently found a new Youtube channel called Frugal Jo. From her description: “My videos are based on making a great life without spending a lot, making do with what you have, frugal living hints and tips, with a bit of cast iron cooking and vintage kitchenalia thrown in.” Right up my alley! I’m anxious to catch up on her past videos and learn some new tricks.
