I've been making noodles and thinking about 'ca-noodling' and wondering if that's even a word and if it relates to noodles at all, so I checked. It doesn't. The urban dictionary says, "snuggling, kissing, heavy petting, making out." Maybe I should do a post about that instead. Oh la la!!
When I had Charlie last November, my friend Nicole brought me over this delicious chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles. Let me say it again: Homemade Noodles. It was so, so good. I actually had it last Fall at a Halloween Party and I'm going to admit it: I had 3 bowls. Yes, it's good. I cut the noodles in this soup into strips but I wanted to mix it up a little and see if these little knots would hold up; plus I thought the kids might get a kick out of them (and they totally did.) And the knots? They held their shape:
The kids loved fishing them out of the soup and eating it plain. I should have just made noodles. Anyway, I made Nicole's recipe and I have to say it wasn't quite as good as hers. Probably because I didn't follow her directions. I used chicken bouillon instead of boiling the chicken which I think was my downfall. I'm going to try it again making it her way. 
Here is the recipe:
Noodles:
2 eggs beaten slightly
3 TB milk
1 tsp salt
flour – enough to make a stiff dough about 1-2 cups.
I usually end up mixing the last bit in with my hands.
Roll out dough and cut into strips with a pizza slicer. Let dry. I usually roll out the noodles around noon if I'm planning on making them for dinner.
Soup: official recipe
1 whole chicken in water with basil, salt and pepper to taste.
Boil for 1 1/2 hours
Remove chicken from bone and strain broth. You want the pot about 2/3 full with broth.
Add 6-7 carrots
3-4 stalks of celery
add 1 can cream of chicken
add noodles – cook for 12-15 minutes
add chicken at the end
That said you can also use chicken broth or canned chicken and make the broth out of boullion.
Enjoy!!
I am busy making (or trying to make) fabric Easter baskets for the children. I have this great idea in my head of how I want them to be but not sure it's going to work out (we always have last years baskets to fall back on) so I'll let you know how it works. We've been dyeing eggs and will share tomorrow.
