Chicken Noodle Soup

I have made this several times now. Just made it last night!


6 chicken breast
4 cans chicken broth
1 tsp seasoned salt
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp pepper
carrot
celery
Egg noodles (I use 16oz. Grandma's)

Place all (except noodles)in crock pot, cover and simmer on high for 5 to 6 hours. Remove chicken, dice, and return to broth and add noodles. Cook another hour or until noodles are done (about half hour on high).

The noodles are my favorite part :)

I serve with bread and butter.

Taco Soup

I know it won't be "soup" weather much longer (well it's Utah so who knows) I froze Tuesday on our date night. Here is another taco soup recipe we enjoyed!



2 - 3 chicken breasts
1 can Mexi-corn
1 can black beans
1 small salsa or picante sauce (mild)
2 cups chicken broth


Boil the chicken in water with salt, a piece of celery and a small onion. Takes about 30 minutes to cook. Save 2 cups of broth and put into a pot.
Cut chicken breasts into pieces and put into pot. Add 1 can of Mexi-corn. Drain beans and add to soup (you can rinse beans if you'd like or put the beans in, liquid and all). Pour in the small salsa or picante sauce. Mix together and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes

Serve with tortilla chips. We love to put sour cream and cheese in our soup before eating.

Delicious and Easy!

Turkey Chili

You can make this with beef instead of chicken. Either way, it's yummy!

1 pound of ground turkey
1 small onion chopped
2 cans petite diced tomatoes
1 heaping Tablespoon chili powder
1 heaping teaspoon sugar

1 heaping teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 - 3 cans pinto beans
1 can light red kidney beans
1 can dark red kidney beans

Brown turkey (I add salt, pepper and garlic powder to the turkey) and would do onions if Chad would let me :) Then add everything except the beans and simmer for 1 hour. Add the beans and warm thoroughly. I drain the juice from one can of pinto beans and the can of light red kidney beans. I leave the juice in the other beans. I just don't want my chili too soupy.

Can serve with corn bread, or I just did bread with butter.

Lemon Bars

I love lemon bars! So when I saw this recipe I had to try!

1 box lemon cake mix
3 eggs
8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
1 stick butter
1 box powdered sugar


Mix 1 egg and box of cake mix and press into greased 9x13 pan. Next mix cream cheese, butter, 2 eggs and powdered sugar and pour over the crust mixture. Bake 45 minutes at 325 until browned on top. (I had to bake mine a little longer.)

Heath Bar Cake

Here is a recipe I found while waiting in the doctor's office. It is moist, rich and delicious. I found that the longer it sat in the refrigerator, the better it was.

1 German chocolate cake mix
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1 container of Cool Whip
1 bag Heath chocolate toffee bits (you can use 6 Heath or Skor bars, crushed)

Prepare and bake cake according to directions in a 9 x 13 pan. After removing from the oven, poke holes all over cake with a fork. Pour condensed milk over the holes and pour caramel topping over holes. Let stand until the cake cools. Cover with Cool Whip and sprinkle chocolate Heath bits on top. Put in refrigerator and chill.

Oreo Cookies

My best friend, Natalie, introduced me to this recipe! A delicious, creative recipe that Chad and I have enjoyed!


1 package of chocolate cake mix (I use Duncan Hines Devil Food)
1/2 cup melted butter
1 egg
Mix all ingredients above and roll into 1 inch balls. Bake at 350 for about 7 - 8 minutes. Take out before it starts to crack on top.


Oreo Middle:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla


Mix ingredients together. Put a dollop in the middle of a cookie and put another cookie on top.


You've got homemade OREO Cookies! Yummy!
