Chicken Noodle Soup and Wheat Bread

October 10, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

It’s Sunday and my typical morning starts out by having a cup of coffee and reading my e-mails and checking out the Target ad and debating what to have for breakfast.  I was really hungry this morning!  So I made a yummy dish that is full of protein and low in carbs and very healthy.  You’ll just have to wait till tomorrow to get the recipe.

After my breakfast, I was going to go out for a jog, but the wind picked up and I really hate jogging, walking or doing anything when it’s windy out.  My ears are really sensitive to wind.  So I decided to do my workout in doors today.  I checked out Exercise TV on demand and found Christ Frytegs Walk and Sculpt.  It’s a 45 minute workout which contains cardio and toning.

Her workout isn’t to bad, I did sweat a lot and my legs are sore from doing leg lunges and squats.  I must be losing my shape because it hurt!  But I did it, kept up with the pace and I burned 340 calories!  Woohoo!!


My heart rate isn’t to bad either!

Samantha decided to do doggie yoga, after her morning bath!  She loves my yoga mats!

I was watching Hungry Girl on Food Network and she was making crockpot chicken soup and my husband asked me to make my Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup!  Geez, that takes along time, over 3 hours!  Plus I have to go to the store.  Fine, I’ll make it!!  Remember when I posted my tomato soup the other day and I said I’ll make my Chicken Noodle Soup with homemade bread? Well I’m making homemade bread too, not the hour one but the one that takes hours!  It’s a nice whole wheat bread!  It makes 3 loafs!  He he!!  So now I need to go to the store for chicken and whole wheat flour!

I decided to walk to the store it’s a little over a mile round trip.  Let me tell you don’t get 5lbs of flour and 2lbs of chicken amongst other stuff.  After my workout, and then walking with bags in my hand, my body is sore!  I think I need a massage!

But before that, I need lunch, something quick, since I need to start on bread and soup!  So I had this!

This is by far one of my favorite meals!  Greek Yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, peanut butter and granola.  I could live on this!!  You don’t even know how angry I get when Trader Joes is out of my Greek Yogurt!  It’s my favorite!!!  One more picture!

Yum!  Now time to start the bread!  After mixing it, I had to let it sit for 30 minutes, while it was resting (wish I could) I started on my soup.  In  a large pot I added chicken, carrots, celery and onion.

Added 14 cups of water and seasoning.

Now to just wait, for this!

Here’s the recipe for Jennifer’s Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup!  Everyone’s favorite!

Chicken Noodle Soup

2lbs of Chicken with skin (I normally use chicken breasts with skin and bone, but I grabbed the wrong package, but boneless works even better, easy shredding!)

3 large Carrots – diced about 1/4 inch thick

4 Large Stalks of Celery – diced 1/4 inch thick

1 Large Onion – diced

12-14 Cups of water

1 Bay Leaf

1 tsp. Thyme

1 tsp. Dill

Salt & Pepper (I didn’t measure, my guess is 1 tsp each)

Chicken bouillon Cubes (optional, if needed) (I added 3)

1 package of Extra Wide Noodles

Directions:

In a large pot add vegetables, chicken, water and seasoning.  Bring to a boil cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until chicken falls apart and looks like it’s splitting.  Skim any fat off the top.  However with chicken breasts I normally don’t have to.

Take the chicken out and set side until cool enough to handle.  Shred the Chicken (throw skin away and if using chicken with bones, discard them) and place back in pot.  Give a good stir and taste.  This is the point where I decide if I need more seasoning or bouillon cubes.  The more water you have the more spices you need.  I added more of all the seasoning.  Cook for about an hour or until vegetables are tender!

Meanwhile, I don’t like to cook my noodles in the pot, other wise they expand and make the soup starchy.  Cook noodles according to manufacture directions.  When serving, place noodles in a bowl and place soup on top.

Makes about 12 cups – I couldn’t measure in that pot but it’s a lot!

Whole Wheat Bread – Adapted from Allrecipes.com

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 5 cups bread flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
I did everything in my stand mixter.
  1. In a large bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and 1/3 cup honey. Add 5 cups white bread flour, and stir to combine. Let set for 30 minutes, or until big and bubbly.  (I mixed on low speed in the mixer for about 30 seconds, the let it sit in it’s bowl)
  2. Mix in 3 tablespoons melted butter, 1/3 cup honey, and salt. Stir in 2 cups whole wheat flour. (If using a stand mixer, put the flour in little by little or you end up with a poof of flour, like I did) Flour a flat surface and knead with whole wheat flour until not real sticky – just pulling away from the counter, but still sticky to touch. This may take an additional 2 to 4 cups of whole wheat flour ( I only needed 1 additional cup). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled.  For me it was 50 minutes.
  3. Punch down, and divide into 3 loaves. Place in greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans, and allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by one inch.  This was about 1 Hour for me.  I made one loaf without a bread pan, since I only had two.  My loafs were huge!
  4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes; do not overbake. Lightly brush the tops of loaves with 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine when done to prevent crust from getting hard. Cool completely
This was pretty easy:  I figured 12 slices of bread per loaf.

Next time I’m going to make one loaf with cinnamon and raisins, the other with flax seed and sunflower seeds. My Husband likes it plain.  So one for him!
So soft, little chewy, a little sweetness, so perfect!
Look at that!  Since I have 3, we ate 3/4of this loaf, froze one and I’m taking the other to work to share!
“I’m saving all my carbs for you”  do, do do – sorry singing that Whitney Houston song
I know what I’m having for dinner tomorrow!
Have  a wonderful week!!!

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?

🐾
We are all cozied up with the new Renew Comforter. It’s so soft and fluffy and not super heavy which is great for Spring weather. The comforter is 100% organic, 300 thread count with Lockshift baffle box construction and is machine washable!!
