Creamy Veggies and Noodles

Has anyone else been sleeping like a ROCK? This weather is magic for sleep. Last weekend was a little rough when Mark and I were squeezed into a queen-sized bed (total TWP, I know!). And honestly, I feel like it was a small queen-sized bed…don’t ask. Mark or I would flip over and face the center of the bed and I’d feel like I was breathing my middle-of-the-night breath all over my husband. SEXY, I know.

I also did a phenomenal job of checking out of life and work during the day, but my brain would click on right before bed and I’d roll through all of the to-dos that I would surely forget by morning. By 2am, I’d be asleep…but the kids, they were up just a pinch of hours later. Ridiculous.

We blasted into the week with soccer and birthdays and an evening commitment every evening but Tuesday. Relaxing at home with a home-cooked meal and some snuggles on the couch? It’s life-giving, I tell you! Me, my girls, my Kindle. It’s basically my favorite time of the day and soccer season is robbing me of my enjoyment!

Two more weeks…I think I can, I think I can. Tonight, my car said it was 60 degrees outside and yet on the soccer fields, I’m FREEZING. Winter coat on and wishing I had a hat on. And we won’t turn on the heat because…well, because it’s still above 62 in the house. 😉

But man, I am jonesing for some comfort food and for the leftovers that home-cooked meals provide. My canned chicken noodle soup tonight was a far cry from this homemade delight!

Shea received a vegetarian cookbook for her birthday from her aunts (YES!) and while she immediately went for the breakfast recipes, I am hoping that there’s some gems in there that would be along the lines of this Creamy Veggies and Noodles recipe. It’s simple, it’s wholesome, it’s delicious, and it’s most certainly kid-friendly. I ran the recipe past my little “vegetarian” and she said she’s try it – the girls thoroughly enjoyed and Mark and I did, too!
