So feeling inspiration again from
The Pioneer WomanJames requested that I cook Home Made Chicken Noodle Soup! Yum, and great for a snow filled day. So I sent him out in the snow to get all the ingredients, well what we were missing. My list of ingredients is Chicken broth (2 large cans), egg noodles, poultry seasoning, black pepper, garlic, onions, celery, carrots, butter.
And Chicken Breast, (while I prefer a whole chicken, if you do not have one of if you just don't want to go to the trouble, you can use boneless chicken breasts as well)
Put your Chicken broth in a large pot on the stove
Put your chicken breast on a pan and add butter and black pepper generously and bake at 350 until done.
Boil your egg noodles as directed on the package, and then drain and set aside
Add your poultry seasoning, garlic and black pepper to the chicken broth ( I don't really measure alot so I'm sorry I'm not giving you exacts, I always just taste test mine to decide. Bring to a boil
Next (while the chicken is baking) finely chop up some onion and celery
I also cut up some carrots for the soup (Hint, add a speck of water, cover with a paper towel and microwave for about 1 minute) I add the celery, onion and carrots to the soup and simmer for 15 minutes
Look at all that juice...from the chicken and butter....don't forget to drain that into the stock pot with the broth in it...
When you are finished with the chicken shred it up
Once you have all that done, mix together 1/4 of a cup of corn starch with a 1/3 of a cup of water and mix well, then add slowly to the brother mixture. Next through in the noodles and chicken! I always let it simmer sit for about an hour before we eat it...It's so yummy!!!!!!!
I've shown you proof he smiles, now his scowl! He's adorable even when he scowls...I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate this picture! hehe
Oatmeal Crispies, Yummmmy..... I got this recipe from PioneerWoman.com too, she makes the best stuff!! James and the kids loved them, might have to make more this weekend!
My Hostas that I transplanted last fall are coming in better than the ones I didn't move!! Now they can spread out as much as they want!
This coming weekend or early next week, I have a series of photos that I just like to call sisters...I don't know maybe I'm sappy but they are just really sweet pictures to me, maybe because most of the time anymore Brienne and Chasity just annoy each other, so when I catch them really getting along or being loving to each other it just makes me feel good! That one day they'll get along and have a great relationship!
I also have pictures from Brienne's field trip to My Old Kentucky Home State Park .....I've always had an interest in historical type things...I love all that stuff...I got some nice shots of the grounds, it stinks though you aren't allowed to take pictures inside the house....BUMMER!
