With Thanksgiving out of the way I have lots more time to write. How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was great. The food turned out great and the company was great as well. Did I have too much wine sure I did, did I get sick? Sure I did. But that is when the kids were asleep and company was gone. That is what happens when you drink too much in a short period of time and are a light weight.  The thing that made my holidays more special besides having family over was  the fact that I hosted it in our new home it was a great feeling :)

Chicken Stock

Whenever I have company over while I am making chicken stock I hear "Wow your house smells great what are you making?" I think that making my own is much better than the salty stocks you buy. With those you don't really know what's in them. Also, I just think homemade tastes better, don't you?

1 whole onion

2 teaspoons of  garlic powder

1 ckn carcass,(from left over rotisserie chicken or a whole chicken you had for dinner) and 5 drumsticks with meat still on it.

6 stalks of celery (leaves and all)

3 whole carrots(do not bother peeling)

1 green pepper cut in half seeds and all

1 tablespoon of salt (if you like more salt be my guest)

1/4  teaspoon of ground pepper

10 stems of fresh thyme

4 stems of rosemary

10 sage leaves

Cook 3 1/2 hrs ( no need to babysit it. Just start it and walk away.)

strain and add to stock containers

Hi everyone!

Hi, I'm Sarah and I just love to cook!

I love to cook and test out new recipes. I have three children and a husband to feed every night of the week.

I love to read cookbooks anytime that I can. Cookbooks sometimes teach me new techniques and ingredient combinations I never thought to try together.
Then I try the recipe then I make it my own by adding things that were not in the recipe before my husband calls it Sarahifying it!
The thing I love the most about cooking is I love to see people's faces when they eat my food and then ask for me to make it again on another night.
