Well exciting things do happen to little ole house moms every once in while that are just fun for us!  The other night..I just wanted some down time....you know...me...just me and my chair and my computer/tv!  So I sat there and browsed one of m favorite sites www.thepioneerwoman.com  and once again looked at her Tasty Kitchen site that you can get to from her webpage...I decided then and there that 'Rustic Chicken Noodle Soup' just had to be on there!  So I burned the literal midnight oil and learned how to type in recipes using her system...and it was relatively easy.  I was thrilled to see the next day that my recipe had made the blog and was on the first page of the soups page and 4 days later...it was still there!  It was euphoria...I was estatic...my husband was estatic....my dog was estatic!  Heck - I almost jumped out of my chair! 

So today I thought it's time I share the Tasty Kitchen site, give a shout out to Ree Drummond and poste my unconventional Rustic Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe here on my blogs for you!  It has yellow squash and new 'red' potatoes that make this so very filling!  I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.  It snowed here in our part of Texas ONCE AGAIN last week...so I was in the soup mood and with a little hinting from my husband I made chicken noodle soup - my own way!

This is copied straight off the site...cause I am lazy!  So enjoy...make it - rate it and hopefully I will get some thumbs up!

Oh...and thats my first food pic...my husband told me my lace tablecloth was too white...so he suggested some color...tell me what you think?
