Soup, Chicken Noodle

Chicken Noodle soup has never really been my idea of a delicious meal. At least, not until I had an awesome homemade serving of it a few years ago. My mom, best friend, and myself road tripped down to Atlanta to spend a few days with my high school best friend, Ashley.  Let's take a minute to discuss how wonderful Ashley is. She's AMAZING.  She befriended me the day she started working with me at the dry cleaners. She is one of the funniest, sincere, and downright stylish woman I've met in my 28 years.  I can't get enough of her, especially now that she lives thousands of miles away. Well, Ashley got right to it after college and by the time we got down to see her, she was serving up a lovely dinner of homemade chicken noodle soup to us, her three boys, all under 3, and her husband. And let me tell you, that chicken noodle soup was a game changer. It was so simple, yet so tasty. I had never considered making homemade soup until that moment. Three years has gone by since that experience, and now I can't stop making soup at least once a week.

I've made this one a few times and I appreciate it because it's so simple. I used this recipe from food.com.  

I served it up in 441 cinderella Pyrex bowls because they are the perfect size, and the spout and handle make picking them up when the soup is steaming much more comfortable. 

There are only two of us for now, so we tend to have excessive leftovers from soup. I package a few in small mason jars to take for lunch and freeze the rest. 

Stay warm out there and snuggle up to a warm bowl of homemade soup soon!

Big Salad

In the evenings to wind down, my husband and I will watch an episode or two of one of our favorite shows.  Currently, we are re-watching Seinfeld and enjoying it very much. In one of the more recent episodes we watched, Elaine was obsessed with a big salad from their usual spot.  All this talk of a big salad inspired us to make some big salads for dinner.  We each filled our own 402 with our favorite salad fixings.

We each started with baby spinach, diced tomato, green onions, bacon and shaved parmesan cheese.  I added mushrooms to mine because they are delicious.

Our Big Salads

The dressing is a homemade honey mustard recipe:

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon yellow mustard or 1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, vinegar, oil, mustard lemon juice.

The dressing was an awesome addition to our fresh big salads and we can't wait to make them again.
