Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow? I’m not going to lie. I’m not.
But, I did go to the grocery store today to buy all the stuff for what I’m bringing. We were assigned the salad, homemade rolls (because my husband..yes you heard me….makes the best from scratch rolls on the planet), and my butternut squash casserole. Yum. It was a madhouse, but thankfully, 2 out of my 3 kids got to go into the play area while I shopped. There’s something to be grateful for.
But, we’ve all got food on the brain right? And, thankfulness? So, I tell you one thing that I’m seriously grateful for. My crockpot.
I know it sounds silly, but honestly, it’s the best cooking contraption when you have kids. I am so much more motivated to cook first thing in the morning than I am at 4 pm when kids are under my feet and they’ve worn me down for the day. So, preparing a good meal ahead of time, is perfect for me. And, I LOVE not having to rush around and think of something when I’m the most grouchy (and hungry). So, one thing I can honestly say that I’m truly thankful for all the time (and not just on Thanksgiving) is that little crockpot of mine.
Last night, I made a Creamy Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup, so I thought I’d share the recipe with you. I haven’t done that in a while. I love this soup because the ingredients are stuff that you usually have on hand, it’s easy, and my kids love it. My kind of meal. 🙂

*Don’t overcook noodles or they will become very soft and mushy.
That’s it! Enjoy!! Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!!

Don’t forget to enter my giveaway I have going on through Thursday, and don’t forget to join my Manic Mondays bloghop this week too!
And, I’m featured on Blogher today. Check it out here.
Yum! This is definitely going into the menu plan for next week!
Yum! And I so agree….I loved my crockpot and I’m dying to get one here in Germany. But that’s easier said than done as it’s not a typical German appliance. I tried ordering one and it wasn’t great. My options are limited and boy do I miss it! Have a happy Thanksgiving!
That’s too bad!!! Hope you can figure out a way! 🙂
My first crockpot was a disaster. Haha. But I’m better at it now.
I made this for dinner tonight. I can’t believe how easy and delicious it was! Both kids liked it too…thank you!!
Yay! Glad you liked it!! 🙂
This looks so yummy and so easy, love it!
I just made a Pinterest board called “Stuff I can make in my crockpot”. I look forward to trying this. I love my crockpot, too. It saves my behind on work days.
Yes, it’s so awesome. I love mine too. I’m making this recipe this week for dinner! 🙂
My husband has strictly forbidden me from EVER cooking chicken in the crockpot again after a particularly nasty dinner involving white chili. But I might have to try this anyway. Looks good.
Hah! Well my husband hates chicken anyway, but I keep coming it!
This soup looks amazing! Pinned and ready for when the temps drop!
I totally have to try this! Looks so good and seems to be pretty easy to make. Thanks for sharing!
