Turkey Orzo Lemon Soup

 
Sorry I missed posting last week life was rather crazy with well life. 

I had Thanksgiving shopping, our dryer broke and now I have clothes hanging all over my house on hangers until the 5th of December when the new dryer arrives.My house looks like a laundry mat. 

That's life that's what all the people say your riding high in April, shot down in May.. Sing along if you like..lol.. I always love a little Sinatra! 

To top it all off  L.J.'s birthday was Monday the 26th and he was so excited to hit the double digits.

A very sad moment for me since my babies are no longer looking like babies but handsome young men!  

Since we had a 27 pound Turkey for Thanksgiving I thought I would share with you a favorite soup in our house. Turkey Lemon Orzo Soup. 

The kids love the small shape and texture of the orzo is soup and well you all know me by now I just ❤ soup. 

It's always cold and wet in Washington so there's no better way to warm up then a nice big bowl of soup!

Chicken Casserole With Garlic Cheddar Biscuit Crust

I ❤ Chicken Or Turkey Pot Pie!  Add cheddar biscuits to the top and I am in heaven! Chicken Casserole with Biscuits are a creamy cozy comfort food with a garlic cheddar biscuit crust.

The filling can easily be made ahead of time and topped with the biscuits right before baking. 

Hello deliciousness! Come to Mama.

When I was little Granny would regularly make Chicken Pot Pies in the cute little ramekins. It was always a favorite. But this is a little bit easier to make than individual Chicken Pot Pies.

Here's the easy to follow recipe and handy dandy printable below.

Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies

We love Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies during Christmas. I'm a mint and chocolate aholic when the temperature drops so these definitely hit the spot.

Peppermint Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, and chewy with a crispy edge. It's a double chocolate mocha with peppermint, chocolate chips, and peppermint pieces.

They are perfect for dipping in hot chocolate or milk, while snuggled up next to the fireplace. Plus Santa's sure to love them! 

Here's how to make Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe...
