What's for dinner Mum?



Like every mother out there, I am sure you are asked this question at least once a day from one of your children.....sometimes (more often than not) you have no clue what is for dinner! As cooking is one of my all time passions, I have a secret recipe I would like to share with you. I guarantee the kids will love this. It takes no time. Its good for them. It's all done in one pot. Need I say more.....I usually cook this when I know the day is going to fly by and there is no time to cook anything!

Mumma's Retreat Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

1. Pour yourself a glass of wine.....you always need one in hand when cooking
2. Oops, I forgot, this is a slow cook recipe, so maybe save the wine for when you eat instead of 7am in the morning before you head out the door
3. Turn on your slow cooker (if you don't have one, do not muck around, you need to buy one)
4. Place a whole chicken (free-range or organic), 2 carrots chopped, 2 zucchinis chopped, 1 broccoli chopped, 3 gloves garlic chopped, chicken stock cubes x 4 in the slow cooker
5. Cover with ingredients with water - enough to cover the chicken
6. Cook on slow for 5-6 hours or high 3-4 hours
7. At the end, add cup of peas and a tin of corn. Break up 2 packets of instant noodles and add to soup. Season with salt and pepper. Serve into bowls.
8. That's it! Its a filling, delicious, healthy meal. Kids will love it.
For adults, you can add chilli, coriander, ginger.

Save the leftovers in the fridge or freeze in containers.......its all about knowing the easy shortcuts to feeding a family. More to come...............
