Chicken Noodle Soup

Nothing says comfort like some homemade chicken noodle soup!  I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and adjusted it a tad.

Ingredients:
4 Cups cooked Chicken meat (shredded)
1 Cup chopped Celery
1/2 Cup chopped Carrots
1/3 Cup chopped Onions
1/4 Cup Butter
8 ounces Egg Noodles
8-10 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1/2 tsp Dried Marjoram
1/3 tsp Black Pepper
1 Tbsp Dried Parsley
1 Bay Leaf

Directions:
In a large stock pot, saute  Celery and Onion in Butter.  Add all other ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes.

Lemon Pepper Chicken

I've learned some backdoor ways of getting flavors I miss without the pain of a flare.  This recipe is a great example of that.   While we can't have lemon juice, you can still get that fresh lemon flavor with lemon peel (or even lemon oil).

Ingredients:
2 boneless chicken breasts
Lemon Peel
Black Pepper
Parsley
Kosher Salt

Directions:
Season Chicken with spices as liberally as you prefer.  I was pretty heavy on Lemon & Parsley... lighter with the salt & pepper.    Grill on stove in olive oil over medium high heat (hint: inside I use a panini pan to get those grilled stripes) about 6 minutes on each side.  I make canned veggies as a side.   Great for when dieting!!

Pot Roast

I love Pot Roast in the fall, winter, and summer even.   It's so easy to make and fills the house with the best smell all day while it cooks.

Ingredients:
Beef Roast (or pork if you prefer)
6-8 large red potatoes, cut into fourths
1 medium bag baby carrots
1 small yellow onion, sliced (I leave out if I'm flaring in the least)
4 cups Chicken Broth
3 garlic cloves (I used minced garlic)

Directions:
Throw all items in slow cooker and cook on med or high heat 6-8 hours.
