So today's meal was based on a need. I have a sick little girl and a little boy who says he feels "weird". Out of need I made chicken soup. But added to my typical recipe chicken wantons. To make my chicken soup I start with lots of water. I add chicken breasts to that. I let the breasts boil whole for about four hours. Then I add onions, garlic, salt and pepper. I then taste the outcome. At times I need to add a bit of chicken broth to finish off the flavors. I add the wantons just before serving. I also add alphabet noodles just for fun for the kids. I have to admit I cheated on wantons today. I used store bought ones. Forgive me for that. But with two kids who are not feeling well what can you expect.
I also made an apple pie from scratch today. I did not top it with crust. I instead made a crumble topping. And just because Jasmine is sick I made some raspberry jello for her.
SO I have not been totally lazy today, even though I cheated on one part of dinner, the wantons.
