There seems to be a theme when I talk with friends (especially bloggers)
about new year’s resolutions this year: time management.
I know — what’s new, right?
But this year, I’m one of ‘em. I wrote about it a little bit in my post
about choosing a “word” for the year instead of a resolution. But in a
nutshell, my hope for these next few months is to figure out a plan for
how to do less (meaning an actual 40 hour work week) in order to spend
more time with the people in my life who I love. And also to sleep. I
was guilty last year of getting way too little sleep, and frankly, it
was ridiculous and I’m over it. And I happen to be quite fond of my
pillow. And waking up after 7-8 hours of solid zzz’s.
One of the tools I’ve been working with the last month of so that has
really helped with daily planning is this cool productivity schedule
from Storyline. I especially love how it has you write out a
“rest/reward” for the the biggest tasks you need to accomplish that day.
After trying it out for a few weeks, I’ve noticed that (for better or
worse) I am apparently a little more food-motivated than I thought. The
prospect of a cup of my favorite hot tea or a trip to the coffee shop, a
piece of chocolate after lunch, or even just a handful of blueberries
are enough to get me plowing through a big project more quickly than
usual. (Yes yes yes, I know that if food’s going to be the motivator, it
needs to be at least mostly healthy.)
But I’ve also found that the prospect of having dinner ready to go after
a workday is extra motivating, and really satisfying. So since I’ve
been trying out the productivity schedule, I’ve also been trying out new
slow cooker recipes as a bit of a motivator to finish the workday (and
then stop working). And I’m loving it!!! I mean, who doesn’t love having
your slow cooker prepare dinner for you? But especially while I’m in
the zone of trying to plan ahead and be more intentional with the hours
in my day, having a pot of something delicious cooking all day is pretty
much just the best.
So as we’re continuing our healthy eating month on the blog, today I’m
sharing another “skinny” recipe with you — my “Skinny” Slow Cooker Taco
Soup.

Ok, I don’t know what lighting miracle happened, because I took these
photos on the cloudiest, dreary day — which this soup was perfect for.
But hey, go camera go. This taco soup was beautiful and delicious!!!

All that you have to do to prep this soup is saute up a pound of ground
turkey or chicken (or you can add in some shredded chicken instead, or
omit the meat completely if you want to go vegetarian/vegan). Then dump
in a bunch of cans of veggies and beans and seasonings. Then let the
slow cooker do all of the work until it’s cooked and ready to serve.

Add on your favorite toppings (in moderation please, since this is
“skinny”!). Then serve it and enjoy it, especially knowing that the
quick preparation left you time to do more of the things you love.
You’ve gotta love that. :)
