Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

Even the baby ate this one.

3 cans chicken broth
1 can water
1 large boneless/skinless chicken breast
1/2 bag egg noodles
1 small onion OR 1/2c dried onion flakes
1/2 bag frozen carrots
1/2 bag frozen corn
1 pint Half and Half
1T garlic powder
1t paprika
1t ground mustard
1T Nature's Seasoning (yellow and blue bottle)

Boil chicken breast in broth, water, onion and seasonings for 20 min. Pull chicken breast out and cube. While cubing chicken add egg noodles to broth/water and cook for 10 min. Add chicken, veggies and half and half. Boil additional 5 -10 min or until veggies are cooked and pasta is tender. This is awesome the next day too!

Julie/Julia redo?

I watched the Julie/Julia movie with my husband and he joked I should do that. My response was, "I am not about to tackle Julia Childs while I have 2 small children running around. I will save that for later." I shrugged it off at the time but it did get me thinking.

I do a lot of the social cooking in my family. I thought a cookbook of my recipes for those social events would be fun to put together. That brought up what recipes to put in it. I didn't want to put in my mac and cheese and sausage cheese balls. Those are too easy to find. I wanted to do something I had never done before.

So here's the deal. I am going to try one new dinner recipe each week for my husband and our kids. I will also try one new dessert for our weekly Sunday social. My family and I will let you know how they turn out and show some pictures of the final product. I figure if my super picky three year old and one year old like it most kids will. If the recipe is a winner I'll post it.

I love to cook so this should be fun. Hope you have some fun too.
