Chicken Noodle Soup

-
Oh the weather outside is frightful....at least it is here, and there's nothing like homemade soup to warm you up.  It's Ten on the 10th again and our theme is 'Keeping Warm'.  Thank you to Terrie from Decorate & More With Tip for hosting.  Let's make some soup, shall we?
This is a crockpot recipe, so in addition to the crockpot, this is what you'll need:
3 stalks of celery - diced
4 carrots - peeled & diced
1 medium onion
3 cloves of garlic - minced
2 bay leaves
48 oz. container of chicken broth
1 cup of water
1 tsp. of sage
salt & pepper to taste
2 boneless chicken breasts - about a pound

 Not shown:
parsley for garnish
egg noodles

 Add all ingredients (except the egg noodles) to the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours.  
Remove chicken breasts, shred...
...and return to crockpot.  Sprinkle some parsley for color.
While the soup continues to cook, prepare your egg noodles according to the package directions.  You could add them directly to the soup, but I didn't for two reasons.  
1.  My crockpot was full!  
2.  I always have leftovers, and the egg noodles tend to turn to mush the second day.  

When the egg noodles are cooked, add a scoop of them to a bowl and a scoop (or 2) of soup to them.  
Dinner is served!  

It's Ten on the 10th, so be sure to visit my friends at their blogs and see how they keep warm!
                       The Apple Street Cottage - you're here!

    Oh this looks delicious Ann! So sorry I couldn't join you this month for the hop, but I am certainly going to make this soup...maybe today. No snow here, but it's grey, cold and pouring. Soup sounds perfect.

    Ann, you just gave me some inspiration to make this soup. Mr. Tip was just asking what soup I am going to make this week for our lunches. I had no clue. Your recipe seems so simple and yummy I am going to make this. Thanks for sharing.

    Yes....this would keep us all warm and toasty this winter. Love you sharing this.

    Hi Ann,

    We haven't had much of a winter in NJ this year. With all the clouds and dreary weather this is good for the soul.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Gosh I need some of this today. It is cold outside and I have a hacking cough. Some chicken noodle soup would definitely hit the spot!

Break Out Those Wine Corks!

-

You've been self-isolating, drinking some wine, and saving the corks for a project.  But, before you think I'm accusing you of drinking too much, we both know that every wine-drinker has a stash of corks somewhere in their house.  It's time to dig them out and finally DO something with them.   Welcome back to 10 on the 10th , a group of bloggers sharing ideas and inspiration for less than $10.  This month we're sharing Tips While Social Distancing and we've got some great ideas for you.  Let's get started..... First, find those corks.  They're probably hiding in drawers or a cabinet...maybe in a box or bag.  You can find them. I have faith in you!  My first project is an easy one.  All you need is a hot glue gun, a can, and your corks.  This jade plant has been living in an aluminum can ever since I cut it away from the original plant.  It's doing quite well, but, let's face it, this container is not very pretty.   I chose my corks from

Wine Cork Wreath

Just a note...I promised to share the wreath and picture in a previous post.  Here they are: Now, if you're anything like me, you've been saving wine corks for forever because there is a fabulous project that you will just HAVE to make with them.  The problem is, you haven't found it yet! Have no fear, your project is here! To get started, you will need lots of these: How many, you ask?  I estimate that I used between 200 and 250 corks.  You will also need a straw wreath, like this: Don't forget to remove the plastic! This next step is extremely important! Wrap some wire around the wreath and make a loop for hanging.  There is nothing worse than getting your wreath all done and then say to yourself, "Hmmm, how the heck do I hang this thing!?! Now you're ready to get started.  Be sure to cover your work surface to protect it.  I used a lovely old vinyl tablecloth that I had laying around.  You know the one - you

How To Decoupage Dresser Drawers - With Napkins!

-
Image
Welcome back!  Last week you saw a garage sale dresser transformed with paint and decoupaged napkins.  If you missed it, click here .  Today I have a little tutorial showing how it was done.  Let's get started, shall we? The drawers were sanded down to bare wood and the edges were painted black to match the rest of the dresser.  The napkins were found at the Dollar Store. Notice they are 2-ply napkins?  You only need one, so separate those layers! Iron the one-layer.  It helps when you are ready to lay it down on the wet decoupage medium.   Since the napkins were not wide enough to cover the entire drawer, I was going to have to piece them together.  These napkins also had a very definite pattern that was going to need matching, so it was time for some measuring.  I found the middle of the drawer and matched it to the middle of the napkin.  Then I marked the edges of the napkin on the edge of the drawer with chalk.  See the white (chalk) dot? There are actually

No More Polycrylic for My Tables!

Behold, my newly refinished table - once again!  Yes, this is the second time this little beauty has been refinished. The table was originally refinished in 2013.  I carefully sanded, stained, and sealed it with polycrylic.  Everyone in blogland was singing the praises of polycrylic, so I thought I'd give it a try.  It went on great, clean-up was easy, and it dried quickly.   Win-Win, right?  WRONG!! After about a year and a half, I started noticing some wear on the edges of the table.  You know, the spot where people rest their arms?  As time went on, these spots actually started to feel a bit sticky and you could see them: It was really difficult to get a picture of them, but, if you look carefully where the arrows are pointing, you'll see dull spots in the finish.  We lived with it for a while, then I told my husband, "As soon as the weather gets nice, this table has a date with my sander!" Time for my full disclosure.  Normally, I sand things d
