CHICKEN AND NOODLES PEPPER SOUP

Hello every one

On the menu today is chicken and noodles soup,I'm really not a big fan of noodles but i eat any way but not the usual way a lot of people prepare theirs,i prepare mine in so many different ways.

So last week i had this serious cramp from my monthly flow,it was very painful and frustrating,I was restless,took all the drugs I could but that didn't help.

I couldn't take tea cause that may increase the pain so I remember a post i saw on Matse cook instagram page where she shared noodles soup,I decided to make for my self if the pain could stop and surprisingly it did.

So here you have it................

INGREDIENTS
-Chicken(wash and cut in small sizes)
-2 small pack of indomie noodles
-2 carrots(chopped)
-2 red pepper
-1 small onion
-scent leaves
-Pepper soup spice
-Seasoning cubes
-Salt

PREPARATION
-Boil the chicken with salt and seasoning cubes.
-Roughly blend the pepper,onion and scent leaves,add to the chicken.
-Add the pepper soup spice,cook till it's soft then add the chopped carrot,leave for 2 minutes,add the noodles and cook till it's ready.

I don't like very soft noodles,so I don't cook for long.
This is the first time i'm making noodles this way and It was so delicious.

Do try this out,you will love it,check the blog next week,I will be sharing an amazing recipe.Have a nice day.

EASY FAMILY MEAL PLAN FOR 2018

Happy new year food lovers😊

Welcome to the year of songs of victory,breakthroughs and testimonies.2017 was a good year,2018 will be a great year.

The year just started a few days ago and we all are trying to work on our goals for the new year which is great,but what goals did you set for the family concerning food?

You all know food is right for the body,if you don't eat you can't function.For me this year I will be treating my family to good healthy meals,thinking of what to cook for the family has always been a big issue in a lot of homes including mine,sometimes we run out of ideas and keep on repeating a particular meal all the time which is boring and tiring.

 I was able to fix that by creating a meal plan to guild us on what to prepare daily,we don't stick to it all the time but it gives us an idea of what to cook.The first meal plan I did was when I was in secondary school,I placed it on the kitchen wall were everyone could see it,my mum was really impressed.You see i don't joke with food😂😂😂

To take the stress off you,I carefully created a meal plan for the whole family,easy and simple.some of the recipes are on the blog,do check it out.

Thanks for checking the blog today,do invite your friends and family,this year I will be sharing a lot concerning food and healthy living.To keep up with updates,follow me on instagram and facebook @womasmenu,have a wonderful day.
