Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Thanksgiving is gone, and so is our lovely turkey. I had every intention of making turkey soup, but that didn't happen.
After giving some to departing relatives, making turkey sandwiches, and a yummy turkey stir-fry, there was none left. But it was yummy.
So, I'm back to making chicken soup, which I really do love. And I need some too, so that I can hopefully get over this nasty cold that has been lingering.
This is a super delicious soup that comes together pretty quickly, perfect for a main dish along side some crusty bread, or even cornbread.
You can also change up the veggies if you don't have all of these on hand.
Recipe for Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup:
Ingredients:
32 ounce box of chicken broth
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen green beans
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
3 cups uncooked egg noodles
2 cups shredded chicken
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup heavy cream

Shop For Gorgeous Holiday Gifts At Mothology
It's all about shopping this weekend, I know. The stores and malls around here have been a little crazy, that's for sure.
It's so nice to shop from home, where you can avoid the crowds, and have a warm drink by your side, right?

Easy Pasta Casserole
It's the day before Thanksgiving, and I know everyone is thinking about all that cooking they will be doing tomorrow. Yummy, right?
But if you are like me and my family, at some point this weekend you will need a break from turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
This is where an easy but delicious pasta casserole recipe will come in very handy. This one is almost cheating, because it calls for a jar of spaghetti sauce, and is so simple to make, but it's really tasty.
Recipe for Easy Pasta Casserole
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef
3 cups elbow or tube pasta, cooked
1 24oz. jar spaghetti sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups Monterey Jack/Cheddar Cheese combo

HearthSong Legends of Magic Kit with DVD Review and Giveaway #sponsored
My oldest son is about to turn 7 years old, like most 7 year olds he is starting to find out what his real interests are. It is so neat to see him learning about life, our planet, the way things work, and recently the "magic" of magic. We went to a birthday party where they had a magician, Jayden was memorized, watching and waiting to see the magicians every move. He was studying him so hard, trying to see exactly how he executed each trick. When we left all he could talk about was how awesome it was, he asked if magic was real because although he thought it was great, he also had his doubts. Jayden is a "has to see it to believe it kind of kid" and magic was just so out of this world to him. He wanted to learn the magicians tricks so I knew he would love the HearthSong Legends of Magic Kit with DVD!

Baking Candy Cane Chocolate Cupcakes With Land O' Lakes Butter #HolidayButter #shop #cbias
Holiday baking has been a long tradition in my family, so I'm very excited to be in the kitchen baking some of my favorite treats.
Chocolate and peppermint are a must during the holiday season, so I combined the two and made these yummy cupcakes.
My grandchildren were thrilled when they saw them, and it was a real struggle for them to wait until after dinner to have one.
The key to successful baking for me, is using the highest quality ingredients that I can. Butter is one of those ingredients, and I always like stocking up on it at this time of the year.
