Chicken Noodle Soup

 

Not just any Chicken Noodle, this is homemade! I made the egg noodles from scratch for the Chicken and Mushroom dinner, but I had so much chicken and a lot of noodles that I whipped up some soup on the side. The noodles turned out so good! Firm but not too firm. Perfect! 

Chicken & Mushrooms on Noodles

 

I had to get a shot of the Chicken and Mushroom meal. Saute the mushrooms in butter then add a Tablespoon of Dijon mustard, cubed cooked Chicken, Cream of Mushroom Soup, or Cream of Chicken. I prefer it atop egg noodles, my hubby likes it with rice. 

Cinnamon Rolls

 

My plan was to have these delicious rolls for breakfast on Christmas Day. 

They were delicious but would have been better without the Vanilla Cake Frosting I used to improvise for not having any powdered sugar to make the icing. Homemade Yeast dough was made in my Kitchen Aid Mixer using the dough hook. It was easy easier than I thought, I also messed up on the butter, I melted it, and it should have been softened at room temp to help it from oozing out the ends when you are trying to roll it up. 

Deviled Eggs

 

I always make Deviled Eggs to add to any holiday meal just like my momma always had done. I add a little extra touch to mine, and that is ever since I took the Wilton Cake Decorating Class I put my egg mix in a pastry bag and pipe it into the eggs. It make them look so pretty! 

Pecan Snowbals

 

These cookies I must make every year. They are so scrumptious and honestly practically melt in your mouth!  Super easy to make and oh so good! 

Sugar Cookies for Santa

 We finally found the recipe with the icing my hubby has been asking me to make for years! It hardens onto the cookie. He loves it! He had the entire batch of cookies practically eaten before the frosting had time to harden.  I had to make another batch of cookies to make up for the extra frosting, lucky him! 

Baking Christmas Frosted Sugar Cookies is a tradition my daughter and I do together. I make the dough, one of us rolls it out, and then we cook them and while they are baking and she is cutting out the next batch, I am whipping up the icing. Then she starts icing and we have a cooking and frosting making cycle almost down to a science.

Chicken, Broccoli & Mushrooms

 

Saute Broccoli and mushrooms in butter then add a little milk and a can of cream of  chicken broccoli soup or any cream of… soup you like. Put it atop a bed of egg noodles. Delish! 

Homemade Apple Pie topped with Vanilla Ice Cream

Nothing like Homemade Apple Pie with Homemade Crust. I made this pie Saturday after Thanksgiving since we already had 2 pumpkin pies on Thanksgiving Day and on Saturday I still had a whole Pumpkin but the daughter wanted Apple so we made it! Today as I post this I will be tossing two 1/2 pies in the trash! If I had thought about it sooner I would have picked up some glad ware and took them to the homeless that stand around the mall begging for money. Maybe next time.. but I don’t plan on making more than one pie again, not until more family starts showing back up or the family grows .
