Tonight is a quiet little night at home and someti

Tonight is a quiet little night at home and sometimes we just want comfort food that is not heavy at all! Here is my go to chicken fideo soup! I hope you give it a try!🤍

🍲 Cozy Chicken Fideo Soup Recipe 🇲🇽

A comforting Mexican classic full of flavor and perfect for any day! Save this one 💾

✨ Ingredients:
• 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces (I prefer chicken breast but the whole chicken and bone give the soup amazing flavor)
• 2.5 liters of water
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1/4 onion
• 1 celery stalk
• Small bunch of parsley
• 1/2 tsp Mexican oregano
• 1 tbsp salt
• 6 tomatoes
• 1/4 onion (for sauce)
• 4 onion slices (for frying)
• 1/2 tsp whole cumin
• 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon
• 2 garlic cloves (for sauce)
• Small bunch of cilantro
• 1/2 cup water
• Salt to taste

👩‍🍳 Directions:
1. Wash chicken thoroughly and place in a large pot with 2.5L of water.
2. Add garlic, onion, parsley, celery, oregano, and salt. Cook for 30 to 40mins on medium heat.
3. Using a blender, blend tomatoes, 2 garlic cloves, 1/4 onion, cumin, bouillon, and 1/2 cup water. Set aside.
4. In another pot, heat oil and fry onion slices. Add fideo noodles and toast until golden brown. (I skipped the frying part to save myself the calories but you can toast it without the oil if you’d like. This time I didn’t do either)
5. Add the tomato sauce into the pot where you sautéed the fideo. Stir and cook until the liquid is absorbed.
6. Add chicken broth and cilantro. Cover and simmer for about 10mins.
7. Next, add chicken pieces and 1/2 tsp salt. Simmer 5 more mins.
8. Turn off heat and serve warm 🌿

🥄 Tip: Tastes even better with a couple of avocado slices, a squeeze of lemon or lime and warm corn tortillas on the side!

I would definitely say “YES” to a gallery wall

I would definitely say “YES” to a gallery wall! Would I recommend for you to plan a your gallery layout before hammering nails into your wall? Absolutely!

I love this gallery wall! It’s a striking view as you walk up the stairs because I don’t believe you anticipate it at all!
*
I hope this serves as inspiration for you and to try something new.

Sipping on warmth, yearning for the world slow dow

Sipping on warmth, yearning for the world slow down—this is my kind of peace. ☁️☕

#CozyEra #homedecor #aptownhome

Home decor is no easy feat, or at least for me it’s not anyway. However, the longer I put interest in refreshing our space, the more I feel the creative part of me begins to envision where I’d like my design to go.
.
It’s funny because originally, the things that inspired me are showing up completely different in our home but that’s ok. Perhaps, it’s because I’m working mostly with what we already have and a lot thrifted pieces (under $50 if possible).
.
A whole lot of painting will be happening very soon. So, we’ll see how that goes! But I will be very happy to share the process as it happens.

It’s wild how it looks like not much has been do

It’s wild how it looks like not much has been done. Pictures and videos can never truly give justice to the amount of work that is put into your home. Painting, repairs and rearranging heavy furniture and equipment is really the bulk of the work in the background. But even so, with all that work involved; it’s worth it.

We’re so excited to share with you our living room and how it’s turning out so far. There’s so much inspiration everywhere, but we’re truly trying to work with the things we already own and any little thing we want to add we try to thrift it first. We definitely want to save money, but most of all be able to add unique pieces to our little home.
