Some of my Favorite Cooking Creations

I don't know about you guys, but I am all about the quick and easy meal. Here are my two favorite recipes that are so easy and so DELISH! Now go eat and be merry <3

My Easy Chicken Noodle Soup w/ Extra Love

1 Rotisserie Chicken (cut into small pieces)
4 Celery Stalks (chopped)
1/2 Bag of baby carrots (chopped)
1/2 Yellow Onion (Chopped)
1 Carton of Chicken Stock (Costco's Kirkland brand is da bomb!!)
5 Mushrooms (diced or sliced)
Pre Cooked Noodles of your choice
Handful of fresh flat Italian parsley
A teaspoon of minced garlic

1. Heat some olive oil in a big pot
   
2. Toss in the celery, carrots, garlic, mushrooms, and onions in and cook until softened (toss carrots in first and cook for a minute or two before other veggies)
   
3. Throw in the carton of chicken stock and bring to a boil
4. Let simmer for a few minutes
5. Throw in your chicken and noodles a minute before you are ready to eat
   
6. Sprinkle with fresh parsley (I add a quick crack of black pepper too)
   

** Note** Soup is extra tasty when served on cute dishes. This also helps you recover from a cold faster ;-D
