i use all ingredients in my chicken soup but i saute my carrots ,onions, and celery in butter till softened. For seasoning I salt, pepper, italian seasoning, dash of poultry seasoning and parsley, I then add chicken and saute a bit then 2 containers of chicken broth and a can of cream of chicken soup which thickens the broth just a little. I bring this to a boil and add remes noodles and cook till noodles are done! So much better than canned soup!!! Love your videos!!!

Perfect sugar cookie dough (especially for you) for rolling out cookies: 1 part sugar 2 parts butter 3 parts flour You can add an egg or two, up to you and how much you make. Plus vanilla and a pinch of salt if you want (omit if the butter is salted) I guarantee these will be perfect.

I really love all of your freezer meal

[@imperfectgrowth]

My family hunts and I got the amazing opportunity to learn from a really good butcher in our town on how to process the meat we harvest. He told me that when knives get dull its because the microscopic metal "hairs" have lain flat and when you run your knife through a sharpening block or along one of those metal sticks, its not actually sharpening the knife its just standing those microscopic hairs back up! In order to create a smooth edge again after a lot of use, they grind them to get even hairs!

I have tried several recipes with the Olive Garden dressing but it’s sort of like over seasoning with lemon pepper. What I found was using chicken stock as your base and then drizzling 1/4 cup. Taste for tang and adjust for balance. I add the cream cheese once the noodles, chicken and sauce are done. Then I add the room temperature cream cheese and parm. I add spinach or broccoli for color. I was thinking 🤔 about adding bell peppers. If it’s lacking creaminess... HEAVY CREAM... YASSS PLEASE!!!

[@LadeeGates]

I make something similar to the Italian dressing chicken pasta. But the ingredients I use are chicken breasts, 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, 1 package of cream cheese and a packet of dry Italian seasoning. Then add the pasta. So good!

[@smashly006]

Yes!!! That olive garden chicken is bomb! The one thing I noticed was that the cream cheese was kind of chunky and didn't break up well. I think this is because I didn't let it sit out at room temp I just threw it in cold. The second time around I put room temp cream cheese in and it was much better. I also cut down the amount of dressing I put in because as you said, it's very salty! It turned out great though and the kids loved it!

[@lucianavillarroel43]

Hello! a tip for the red curry dish is to use the coconut oil in the can of coconut milk to cook everything. Don't shake the can at all and when you open it, the top layer will be the coconut fat/oil. cook a few tablespoons of that up as the oil. Also, you can add the coconut milk before adding the chicken so that it reduces more and is a bit thicker. This way the chicken also won't overcook.
