This week is boring I am afraid! It is the week before Easter which means a whole lot of mama running around like a chicken with her head cut off. :) So its basic, standard, easy to cook meals so that I can get all that I need to get done! I am doing a delicious (and easy) chicken noodle soup in the crock pot since it is rainy and cold here. I can even freeze what I have left in little containers to take out for lunches. Feel free to substitute bone-in, skin on chicken or even a whole roasting chicken in this recipe. Just de-skin and remove bones when shredding the chicken and skim any fat off of the soup. Happy Eating y'all!
