My FAVORITE Broccoli Cheese Soup

1 onion, sautéed
2 Tbsp. butter
3 c. boiling water
5 chicken bouillon cubes
1 pkg. frozen broccoli, cut up
5 oz. finer noodles
3 c. milk
½ lb. Velveeta

Sauté onion in butter. Dissolve bouillon cubes in water. Add onion, butter and broccoli. Cook 5 minutes. Add noodles and cook 5 minutes. Add milk and cheese. Stir until cheese melts. Thicken with cornstarch if desired. Serves 6.
I typically double the recipe. I have also added pieces of rotisserie chicken and mushrooms in it if you want to change it up a bit.

Egg in a Hole

We have a new breakfast favorite in our house now! Hubby gave me the Pioneer Woman's Cookbook for Christmas and I tried the recipe for an Egg in a Hole on Saturday morning.

It was a HUGE hit for the two of us! We loved them so much we came home from church yesterday and made them again. And it is so easy.

Click here to see the recipe as she does it with picture illustrations.

It is so much better than just having toast and eggs....it's all combined into one....to make it even yummier...go ahead and make some bacon  and have some orange juice...you will thank me. LOL!

Combine and place in crock pot. Cook on low heat for 7-8 hours. Serve over noodles/rice.

Gingerbread Boys and Girls


Guess what kind of cookies I made for Bunco/Cookie Exchange tonight????? Our family tradition.....



Looks like I will be making more too! Hubby was so devastated this morning when he found out that they were all going to be exchanged for something else!

Not as good as Grandma's....but sure close!
