Chicken noodle soup

What is your favorite soup to make every winter? If your answer is classic, homemade, and comforting chicken noodle soup, this is the recipe for you.  Homemade soup on a cold winter day is the perfect recipe. This will quickly become your favorite, go-to chicken noodle soup recipe that the whole family will enjoy! It stores great in the freezer and is easily reheated over the stove. My favorite type of noodle to use is extra wide egg noodles, but I’ve also used orzo. The mini meatballs are optional, but I highly recommend it!

Beef stroganoff is a creamy and delicious dinner the whole family will love!

Set it and forgot it – who doesn’t love using a crockpot!? There is nothing better than coming home after work and walking into a house that’s filled with the aroma of tonight’s dinner!

This is one of my favorite go to recipes for not only my family, but when we have guests over as well! You can either cook the noodles in a pot on the stove or add them to the crockpot. Just be careful to not overcook the noodles in the crockpot!

Crockpot Cilantro Chicken

by Leave a Comment

Juicy chicken breast cooked on low in the crockpot. Add in southwestern ingredients like black beans and corn for an easy weeknight dinner.


Somewhere in one of the Facebook groups I belong to, I met a woman who has monthly crockpot menus. Unfortunately, I don’t remember what group I came across her name, but she was nice enough to share her crockpot itinerary with me last February.  There was 18 different crockpot meals and a shopping list. This thing was impressive!

Cilantro chicken is the first of the recipes I’ve tried from the list. There is no reference, I have no idea if it’s her recipes or from a cookbook. So, mysterious lady, if you ever come across my blog, thank you!
