This mole is one of those recipes that slows everything down

The kind that makes everyone wander into the kitchen, asking when it’ll be ready 🤗

The kind that turns an ordinary evening into something they’ll remember ✨

Over the years, it’s become more than just dinner. It’s comfort. It’s tradition. It’s part of the rhythm of our home

This is the meal I make when I want my family to feel cozy. When I want them to remember that no matter how busy life gets, they will always have a safe place to land here 🫶🏼

🔆Save this recipe for the next time your family needs comfort

You’re too tired and they’re just not. Ever! 😆

Anyone reach this point lately?

I just wanted to be somebody’s mama… I didn’t know I’d have a tiny little shadow who doesn’t even need me to entertain him. He just wants to be wherever I am 🥹💕

One day, I’ll eat lunch in peace again… and probably wish I had these little feet at my feet. 😭❤️

Mamas, tell me I’m not the only one with a little shadow! 👀

😂❤️ What’s the funniest place your babies have followed you just to be close?

Fall leaves + a little sunshine = the CUTEST little fall craft! 🍂🥹 These DIY fall leaf sun catchers are easy, inexpensive, and perfect for a cozy afternoon crafting with the kids. The best part? Letting them collect their own leaves and watching their little masterpieces glow in the window! 🤎

🍁 MATERIALS:

• Paper plates or cardstock
• Clear contact paper or clear packing tape
• Fall leaves
• Scissors
• Markers, paint, or crayons
• String or ribbon for hanging
• Optional: hole punch

✂️ HOW TO MAKE THEM:

Cut the center out of a paper plate to create a ring, or cut a ring from cardstock.
Let the kids decorate the ring with fall colors, patterns, or little leaves.
Cut two pieces of clear contact paper slightly larger than the opening.
Peel the backing off one piece and arrange your collected leaves on the sticky side.
Cover with the second piece of contact paper, sandwiching the leaves inside.
Trim the excess and attach the leaf-filled center to the back of your decorated ring.
Punch a hole at the top, add string, and hang in a sunny window! ☀️🍂

👉Save this for your next fall craft day,? 🍁🍂

Welcome to Episode 4 of Cozy Soup Club. 🥣

RECIPE:
CREAMY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP

6 servings | High protein

Ingredients

1½ lb (680 g) cooked, shredded chicken breast
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 large yellow onion (150 g)
6 garlic cloves
1½ tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper
1 can (4 oz / 113 g) diced green chiles
1 can (14.5 oz / 411 g) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
8 cups (1.9 L) homemade chicken bone broth
1 cup (170 g) corn
1 can (15 oz / 425 g) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
4 oz (113 g) reduced-fat cream cheese
½ cup (120 mL) unsweetened almond milk
Juice of 1 whole lime
All-purpose seasoning and chicken bouillon, to taste
Instructions

Roast the onion and garlic until softened and lightly caramelized.
Blend the roasted onion and garlic with the spices, green chiles, fire-roasted tomatoes, and a splash of bone broth until smooth.
Heat avocado oil in a large pot. Add the shredded chicken, season with all-purpose seasoning, and sauté briefly.
Stir in the blended tomato mixture and remaining bone broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add corn and cannellini beans. Simmer for 10–15 minutes.
Whisk the softened cream cheese and almond milk until smooth. Stir into the soup over low heat; do not boil.

Serve with crispy tortilla strips or soft corn tortillas, plain Greek yogurt, Monterey Jack cheese, cilantro, avocado, jalapeño, or extra lime 🍋‍🟩

👩‍🍳CHEF’S NOTE: Roasting the onion and the garlic adds incredible depth. Homemade bone broth makes this soup extra rich, and that fresh lime brings everything together 🙌

POV: You spent your whole life being the strong one… and now you’ve married a man who actually WANTS to help you. 😂😭

And somehow my first instinct is still to question his motives instead of just letting the man open the jar. 💀

Sir, I appreciate the green flag. I’m just waiting for my survival instincts to get the memo. 😂🚩

Apparently, healing also means learning that not every act of kindness comes with a hidden agenda 👀🙈

Anyway… pray for Dave. He’s married to a woman who can turn opening a pickle jar into a character development arc. 🤣❤️

Tell me I’m not the only one who struggles to accept help even when it’s coming from a GOOD man?! 👇🏼😂

Somewhere between being a wife and a mama, I forgot I was a woman with dreams of her own, too! 🥹

Weight training helped me remember 💪

The most beautiful and heartbreaking thing about being a mom is that we’re raising them to eventually need us less. 🥹

One day, the little hands reaching for mine will be grown. The tiny voices calling “Mommy” will sound different. And the little people who need me for absolutely everything will have lives, homes, and families of their own 🥹😭

And as much as I want to freeze time, I know the goal was never to keep them little forever. It’s to love them so well that they’re ready to spread their wings… while always knowing home is here 🫶🏼

Motherhood is so beautifully painful. I’d choose it a thousand times over. 😭

Mamas, if you’re in the thick of it right now, take the pictures. Hold them a little longer. Let the laundry wait. One day, we’ll miss the ordinary moments we once wished away.

If this hit your heart, send it to a mama who needs this reminder today. 🫶🏻

Day 5 🍂 FALL INTO FUN

My kids LOVE pumpkins…
but absolutely HATE carving them. 😂🎃

So we made our own little pumpkin-decorating tradition instead—and honestly? I think I like this better 👏👏

No carving.
No pumpkin guts.
No fighting with tiny knives. 😂

Just paint, markers, little fingerprints/thumbprints, and a whole lot of creativity.

And now I get to decorate my home with their adorable creations! 🥹💕

This is officially our new fall tradition.🎉🎉

👉Save this for your next pumpkin day! 🎃👇

🎨 MATERIALS

Small pumpkins
Acrylic craft paint
Paintbrushes
Permanent markers
Paper towels/parchment paper for your work surface
Gloss acrylic sealer — we used the Plaid clear gloss acrylic sealer shown in your photo
Optional: paint pens, Q-tips, sponges, thumbprints, etc.
The glossy acrylic paint was our paint, and the clear gloss acrylic spray was used as the final sealer.

HOW WE DID IT

Paint your pumpkins however you like! 🎨
Let the paint dry completely.
Add details with paintbrushes, thumbs/fingerprints and markers.
Let everything dry completely again.
Adult step: Take the pumpkins outside or into a very well-ventilated area and apply a light coat of clear acrylic sealer according to the product directions.
Let them cure completely before bringing them back inside.
Display your little masterpieces! 🎃🍂

⚠️ Important: Because the spray sealer is extremely flammable and produces fumes, this is an adult-only step. Follow the can’s ventilation and safety instructions.

Cozy Soup Club | E3 🥣🔥

Okay…I finally caved and made the viral broth bowl. 😂

And honestly? I GET IT NOW 😋

I made mine Thai-Korean inspired with caramelized garlic-chile beef, jasmine rice, crispy eggs + the silkiest gochujang broth.

And here’s my little secret: cottage cheese blended into the broth. 👀

It makes the broth ridiculously creamy while sneaking in extra protein.

🌶️ THAI-KOREAN BEEF BROTH BOWLS

Caramelized Beef

1½ lb (680g) 93% lean ground beef
8–10 garlic cloves, minced
6–8 Thai red chiles, sliced
¼ cup (60g) oyster sauce
3 tbsp (45g) low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp (30g) brown sugar
1 tbsp (15g) rice vinegar
1 tbsp (15g) toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp (18g) white miso
½ tsp white pepper
¼ tsp MSG, optional
Thai basil

Silky Gochujang Broth

3 cups (720g) low-sodium beef broth
1 cup (240g) light coconut milk
1 cup (226g) cottage cheese
2½–3 tbsp (40–50g) gochujang
1 tbsp (18g) white miso
1 tbsp (15g) low-sodium soy sauce
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp fresh ginger
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp (15g) rice vinegar
Juice of 1½ limes
½ tsp honey or brown sugar, only if needed

Build your bowl: jasmine rice + crispy fried egg + cucumber + green onion + Thai basil + sesame seeds + chili crisp + lime.

👉SAVE THIS ONE. This is the kind of dinner you make once and immediately start planning when you’re making it again. 😂

I was waiting for an apology.

He was already in REM sleep. 😂

Ladies… I’m just trying to communicate. 😌
