Momma’s Cooking: this week’s menu of Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup, Simply the Best French Bread and soft Gingersnaps.
There is nothing I love more than my mom’s cooking! It doesn’t matter what it is, it always tastes better when she makes it. This week’s menu is one of my favorite menus that my mom makes. Anytime a chill comes in the air you can bet that there is a pot of chicken noodle soup on her stove.
My mom taught me to love to bake and spend time in the kitchen. She has always been the first to offer meals to neighbors and family in need. I never wondered what my role was to be as a wife and mother because she set a standard of excellence for me to follow. I feel so fortunate to have been taught under her tutorship.
So if you ever wonder what to cook for dinner, think back on those mom moments when you remember mom in her element. Looking back, I don’t know how she ever pulled it together so well with 5 busy kids, but eating together was what we did. My greatest memories still are, to this day, based on those mealtime experiences.
So here’s to moms everywhere who somehow manage to keep it together, even when they mentally feel like they are falling apart.
This week’s menu is dedicated to my own mom for the help and support she’s been throughout my life and the example of selflessness that she so masterfully sets.

This week’s menu:
Quick and Easy Chicken Noodle Soup
I love baking bread and this recipe makes that love for baking multiply. I feel like the most intimidating part of bread-making is yeast and this recipe is literally a dump and mix. You can not fail! I place all of the ingredients into my Bosch and turn it on and off a few times and then roll out the dough. It is so simple, you will wonder why you ever bought it at the store. 
Nothing reminds me more of my Grandma Bevan than this dessert. As a child I would scrape off all of the blueberries onto the side of my plate and funny thing, I still scrape them off before I take a bite. I love all the flavor burst in such simple dessert. This was a regular treat at grandmas, probably because it is so easy to make. Making it for my family brought back so many great memories.
