Chicken & Noodles

…..or is it? According to the weather man, there’s warm weather on the horizon, but this winter has completely jaded me! My new saying…I’ll believe it when I see it! So come on Mother Nature, let’s see it! We’ve all had enough of this!

On a lighter note, my 8 new baby chicks are not so “baby” anymore. They have all grown like little weeds and are now out in the coop with the big girls. They’re all still leery of each other, but that will soon come to pass.

You think you’re having a bad hair day….

Ok….recipe time. Tonight I was scouring the internet for “something” to make for dinner. This one is a great comfort food kinda dinner. I served it with steamed broccoli and it was quite satisfying. I hope you enjoy it too. This recipe was adapted from www.allrecipes.com.
