Hello, it’s Friday and that means all of this week’s faves!
I know you’ve been exactly where I found myself: Staring inside the fridge wondering, “What’s for dinner?” Lucky for me, last weekend I picked up a Costco rotisserie chicken, picked off all the meat, then used the carcass to make chicken broth that was now staring me straight in the face. So I scraped through the veggie drawer and what do you know? I had everything I needed to make my fast and easy chicken noodle soup (with the addition of a lonely potato, some leftover white rice, and frozen peas because why not?!) Talk about easy, comforting, and the perfect classic soup to welcome fall!
