What's For Dinner: Homemade Chicken Barley Soup

Tonight's dinner consisted of chicken soup made from leftover organic chicken from our Christmas meal last week. D was the soupmaster and along with the homemade broth and bits o'chicken, he added in fresh veggies (including carrots, celery, garlic, and onion) along with a variety of beans and barley. Good stuff and a great way to start off a month of homemade dinners.

A highlight of the afternoon was making potato skins from The Pioneer Woman Cooks cookbook -- a really easy recipe to follow and excellent results. An added bonus is that we now have a ton of mashed potatoes to eat later in the week!
