What's for Dinner?

Conversation we had last night when my Hubby got home from school:

Him: "What are we having for dinner?"
Me: "I don't know."
Him: "Well, aren't you cooking it right now?"
Me "Yep."
Him: "....so....what is it?"
Me: "Whatever this turns out to be...."

It turned out being Amazing Chicken Yuminess. It really is amazing, you should try it. In fact, it was so amazing, that I am going to share the recipe right here. Because, really. You should try this.

Amazing Chicken Yuminess

Ingredients:

Noodles
1 Clove of Garlic, minced
1 Stalk of Celery, chopped
Half of a Green Pepper, chopped
Tiny bit of Red Pepper, chopped
Tiny bit of Onion, Chopped
1 Chicken Breast
1 Tomato
Baby Spinach

Sauce:
2 TB Butter
1/4 c. Flour
2 cups Milk
1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup
Romano Cheese, Grated

Awesome Directions:
Sauté celery, onion, peppers, and garlic along with chicken breast (sliced thin) in the same pan. Cook until done. Meanwhile, get the noodles boiling, make the white sauce in a separate pan. For white sauce: melt butter, add flour and stir with a whisk. Add milk and stir until it boils for thickness. Whisk in mushroom soup and romano cheese. Set aside. De-seed the tomato, and chop. I cut our spinach with scissors (see above image). Add sautéed yuminess (chicken and peppers, etc) to the sauce and stir them in. Add the drained noodles, the chopped tomato, and the spinach at the very end, and gently stir. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Super Soup

It was just one of those nice winter days in Minnesota when I didn't really want to go dig out my car to go to the grocery store. We rode with some friends to a cabin for the weekend, and our car  is still sitting under a nice big pile of crispy hard snow. I haven't made it to the grocery store since.... well... I don't really remember. You see, our Christmas break kind of took over our world since we were out of town for the whole three weeks, and then the cabin trip was right after that. That being the case, there really isn't much in the Frigidaire at the moment. I did find some limp celery and some carrots in one of the drawers- still good, and a bunch of good stuff in the freezer. I am so grateful for freezers. I love you, freezer.

Whatever I Could Find Soup:

Saute:

1/2 c. Chopped Celery

2 Carrots, Chopped

1 Garlic Clove, Minced

2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, Chopped

Add:

1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup

Add your own amounts:

Water

Peas

Broccoli

Corn

Bring to a boil until all the veggies are nice and cooked. Serve, and enjoy a warm bowl of soup in January! We had our soup tonight with some Sour Dough toast, it was so delicious!
