Today the girls and I got up early because we found a mommy/kids playgroup at one of the schools near by. They meet every Wednesday from 9:30-10:30am. They use the gym and have toys of every kind, and the stage is used for crafts, and they put out tables for snacks. KL had a wonderful time, and we will plan on going back.
I needed to think of an easy lunch for today, so I chose to make a creamy chicken pasta meal with lots of veggies and corn bread on the side.
I had some cooked chicken in the fridge, so I added chopped chicken, carrots, zucchini and onion to the pot. Then I cooked some pasta and added pasta and chicken broth, then I added about a cup of homemade Cream of Soup. It was very tasty!
Cornbread Recipe:
1 stick butter
1 1/2 c buttermilk, yogurt or sour milk
2 eggs
1 c flour
1 t. salt
1 c cornmeal
1 t. baking soda
Put butter in cast iron skillet and place in oven. Turn oven to 400 degrees allowing butter to melt. In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs and sugar. Mix well. Pour in melted butter, leaving about a tablespoon in pan. Roll around remaining butter to 'grease' the pan.
Add cornmeal, flour, salt and baking soda to wet ingredients. Mix well, pour into skillet. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. You can top with butter, honey or maple syrup.
Recipe for Cream of Soup:
2 cups dry milk
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup chicken broth powder
2 T. dry onion flakes
salt, pepper and parsley.
Mix and keep in sealed jar in your pantry.
To use:
1/3 cup cream of soup mix to 1 cup hot water. You can either cook this in a pan on the stove, or put in microwave for 45 minutes. Watch carefully, you don't want it to scorch.
