UNITED STATES
The United States of America is the world's third largest country in size and nearly the third largest in terms of population. Located in North America, the country is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean. Along the northern border is Canada and the southern border is Mexico. I'm from Missouri, USA and I think out of all the places I've traveled to, nothing compares to home.
First we'll start with MY PLATE, a healthy eating guide we use in the USA. My Plate is a reminder to find your healthy eating style and build it throughout your lifetime. Everything you eat and drink matters. The right mix can help you be healthier now and in the future. My Plate emphasizes five food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein and dairy products.

Harlan's Chicken Noodle Soup
I recently got this recipe from one of my favorite teachers back in high school. He is the best choir teacher ever and I highly recommend him for anyone who needs musical advice. Anyways, I found out about this recipe because it has been so cold around my home town, so he decided to share his favorite cold weather soup with everyone and it definitely did not disappoint. Each ingredient just goes together so well, although I would say I added a few more noodles and water than what the recipe called for, but that's just how I like my chicken noodle soup. The texture of the soup, the carrots, the chicken, the celery, mmm I could just go on and on about how perfect this is. Like it's competing with my grandma's recipe and that's saying a lot! Anyways, if you're stuck inside from the cold weather that mother nature brings us, try this soup and you'll be glad you did.
