Spiderman!
Hello, blog readers! Just a quick blog to share our Halloween photos with you! Keegan dressed up as Spiderman (no, he did NOT have real web shooters on the sleeves like I had hoped). He only went to about 10 houses. He started out pretty scared (mostly of the older kids with scary costumes) and cried, begging Nathan and me to carry him. But, by the end he was totally into it and had fun.
I made my chicken & noodles, which is so yummy & easy. I have to share the recipe:
Creamy Chicken & Noodles
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans (10 3/4 oz each) cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup butter, sliced (that's one whole stick)
4 cans (10 1/2 oz each) chicken broth (by the way, it's cheaper to buy the bulk can which is about 49 oz total and just not use it all)
32 oz frozen egg noodles (or a little more, little less....)
Combine the chicken, soup, butter, and broth in your slow cooker. Cook on low 8 hours. Take the chicken out and shred it (this hardly took any time; it fell right apart). Return shredded chicken to slow cooker. An hour before serving time, stir in frozen noodles. Cook on low for an hour. Sometimes I also sneak in a tbsp hot sauce (our little secret) for some extra flavor.
The original recipe says 'serves 4-6' but I think it serves a lot more. So far, I've gotten 8-9 servings out of it and there's still more leftovers in my fridge.
(PS Mike, I know how you feel about crockpots..............) :)
Ok, so back to those halloween photos I promised!
My parents reading to Keegan at the end of the night:
That's it. I hope you all enjoyed your halloween!
I should mention that I bought Halloween pencils to give out and Nathan (and most of my friends) told me how lame this was. So, I gave in and bought candy to pass out with them. Nathan teases that I'll probably give protractors next year. I'm also the manners cop ("Be sure to say thank you!") for all of the kids old enough to know better. Really, I'm surprised our house wasn't egged that night, ha!
My grandma & parents came over to help pass out candy and had dinner with us too. My grandma lives in the ghetto so we like for her to come over halloween night so she's not answering her door for strangers wearing masks. :)I made my chicken & noodles, which is so yummy & easy.
