What's Cookin' Wednesday

"Pot Roast" Chicken
 
This was a dish my gramma made and then my mom and I finally made it on Monday night.
It's super easy, and soooo full of flavor!
I'm not sure if it's an actual recipe - or if my Gramma made it in her "pot roast" pot one night and named it as such.... but never the less, it's delish so here it is...
 
What You Need:
Chicken Thighs
Butter
Flour (about a cup)
Salt
Pepper
2-3 Celery stalks, minced 
1 small Onion, minced
Chicken Stock
Egg Noodles
 
What You Do:
In a large zip lock bag, dump in your flour salt and pepper and shake around.
Add your chicken thighs, coating well
In a dutch oven, heat about 2TBSP butter
Brown chicken on first side, then flip, brown second side.
Removing chicken and placing on a plate when completed
In the dutch oven, add a little more butter
Add the celery and onion
Sautee a little while until translucent
Add your chicken back in
Add in some chicken stock, enough to come to the top of the chicken, but not cover it.
Place lid on dutch oven and simmer on low for an hour/hour and 15 minutes
Cook egg noodles as instructed on bag....serve over egg noodles.
The floured chicken creates a thick enough sauce...

After browning, removed chicken, put on plate


Put veg in pot with chicken bits and butter

I only used one of these!

It may not LOOK like it's super yummy, but it is. Trust me !
 
It's super easy and SO yummy!
It's truly a childhood staple for me :)

Pinterest is taking over!!!

...And I mean that in the most loving way possible.
I absolutely LOVE Pinterest! I do. But dang. Where on earth am I ever going to have enough money and time to create all these amazing things that I've "pinned" !? (haha)
So Obviously, we're selling our home, Oh - I just purchased a St. Joseph home selling kit by the way - so yea. Haha Anyway, I've been a pinning machine lately because I can't wait to get in to a new house and make it OURS! ALSO - We've been talking about babies and so I've been pinning ALL THINGS BABY....like a dang champ.
 
 
Check me out on Pinterest: Here
 
After the fiasco that was "THE" house from a few weeks ago, we are now talking more seriously about new construction. There just is no competition with it. Everything is new, and you just have to move in and unpack. AND - the homes we're looking at are 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom colonials with a 2 car garage so what else do ya need really?
 
Remember this kitchen....
 

 
Yes. Please.
 
Oh to have enough room for all my "kitchen" stuff!!
 
And the amazing master suite with huge walk in closet it exactly what I need :)
 
 
Speaking of closets....
 
#Amen
 
 
I'd really love to hear from anyone who recently bought a house...
My husband bought our house we're in now almost 6 years ago....
So this whole buying/selling thing is new to me.
I love the buying part but the selling part is killing me!
I'm so anxious to get out!!
 
I dream to do this in our new house...
 
Have a cool "mudroom" entry into the house from the garage


For the gust bathroom

For the pantry door - love this!

For my Jakey boy under the stair case!

Happy Tuesday

Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend flew by! I hate when that happens.
On Friday I went out for lunch with my mom like always, and it had started to snow. I got back to work around 12:30 and went to my office (which has no windows, lucky me) so I didn’t see what was going on outside until I was told by someone else that “the snow was coming down fast and heavy and accumulating” so I got up to go look and saw a winter wonderland!
My male co-worker was like, ok let’s pack it in and get out of here before it gets worse.
This is what I saw walking out of my building….
 
 And then this was driving....
Heading into my neighborhood.... looks like Alaska!

Fun Stuff!!

On Saturday, we did a few errands and then went to visit our friends who just had a baby and snuggle with the lil man for a bit...
My stomach wasn't feeling so hot - hence the face... but OMG the cuteness!!

*

I went out with my mom, aunt and cousins for my cousins birthday and these two (mom and aunt) were fighting over who got to pay the bill for the whole table... we were rolling laughing...so funny.
 
 
Sunday morning, Ted got up early to take a ride to Cabela's with his Dad...
I headed to church with my mom and nephews...
I was happily wearing my new tunic from Tara Lynns
sooo comfy!!
 
When I came home this little nut was trying to get something from my bag


And when I ate my lunch....we were having a stare down. She wanted my turkey!

 
Sunday night we took the long way along the water to my moms house for dinner.
When we got home, these two were all cuddled up on the couch

 
And because I didn't do a weekend recap last week - we took my nephews bowling...
We had a blast & they just love their uncle :-)

 
How stinkin' cute is this kid!

 
 This came up on Trivia Crack this weekend.... I laughed a little because what female doesn't know this answer?! Haha

 
 
Have a great week!
