By George I Think I've Got It!
I think I've finally figured out how to show my 'signature' on my posts. It took me several tries, and searching several different blogs, but here's what I came up with:

Homemade Egg Noodles
Ryan could eat his weight in these! I double the recipe so everyone can have some. I can't believe I had this recipe for over 12 years before I tried them! So simple and delicious!
Homemade Egg Noodles
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 egg yolks
1 egg
2 tsp salt
1/4 - 1/2 cup water
2 cups all-purpose flour3 egg yolks
1 egg
2 tsp salt
1/4 - 1/2 cup water
Measure flour into bowl. Make a well in center and add egg yolks, whole egg, and salt. Mix. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Form dough into a ball. 
Turn out onto a well floured board. Knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. Cover; let stand 10 minutes. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a paper thin rectangle.
Cut into thin strips. (Notice I'm using my handy dandy pizza cutter to do this, but you could use this!) 
Shake out strips and let dry. Cook in 3 quarts chicken broth (I suggest either using low sodium broth, or leave out the 2 tsp salt above, or both like I do) for 12 - 15 minutes or until tender.
How do I dry my noodles you ask? Well, you could buy one of these little gadgets:
OR you could do what I do (we are trying our best to be as frugal as possible around here):

Chicken Club Wreath
Beth asked what is a chicken club wreath. It is a delicious meal in itself and I got the recipe from the P*ampered Chef. The best part of this dish is the taste, but the 2nd best part is how simple it is to make! Here's the recipe:
Chicken Club Wreath
3 cups chopped, cooked chicken
4 slices bacon, crisply cooked and chopped
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp garlic powder
2 plum tomatoes, sliced
2 cans crescent rolls
1 egg white, lightly beaten
I've made this several times now, and I don't measure any of it. I just add as much as needed to make it taste delicious! This also gets used as a quick meal by using canned chicken breast, and H*ormel bagged bacon pieces - can't get much easier than that! I'm using this link on my blog to show you how to make the wreath, which is very simple too! I hope you'll try it and let me know what you think!

1st Award!
I've received my very first bloggy award! It was given to me by Beth. Beth, you are such an awesome person! You make me smile, think, and even crack up at times. I miss you when you don't blog for a while, and I wish we lived closer because I'm sure we would have an amazing friendship.
This is what the person who created this award says about it: The thing that I love most about blogging is that I learn so much about a person just by reading their blog. I have met many wonderful people with wonderful stories to tell, and I am grateful everyday for each person that I have the pleasure of crossing paths in life with. I wanted to create something special for the top 10 people that have inspired me through their blogging; the stories they tell and the lives they lead with grace and dignity. I visit their blogs for inspiration and encouragement.
Now, I get to pass it on to others! I give it to:
Menu Plan Monday
Wow, these days sure seem to be flying by! I really like how Barb says that when a person doesn't blog, it simply means they are busy with their family. This is SO true! I love being so busy doing things with Jim and the kids that there just isn't any time to blog. Of course, I've been keeping a running list of things I want to blog about (things will slow down eventually, right?). Here's our menu plan for the week:
Cheeseburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, chips
Egg salad, fries, cottage cheese
Pizza hoagies, flavored rice
Mac & cheese casserole, homemade bread
Taco, cottage cheese
Spaghetti, garlic bread, porcupine balls

Christmas Countdown
Do you like my 'Days 'til Christmas' ticker? I know some of you are thinking "But it's September!" I know, I know, but I absolutely LOVE Christmas time, and besides that, the store ads this week have Christmas decorations in them. At least I haven't pulled out all of my snowman decorations ~ yet. LOL
