I'm Lacey and I'm so excited to share some of our family meals! I am a working mom to a very picky (yet all the while, very cute and sweet!) toddler, so sometimes getting a decent meal on the table that everyone will eat is tricky. I hope this blog will help give other parents recipes and ideas for kid friendly breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks that are great for the whole family. I hope you enjoy the first post to a picnic for three!

This vegetable noodle soup is a great alternative to canned soup - and it's almost just as easy! Our daughter, Callie, asks for this all the time and since today was a bit cooler out, we made it for her. When we first started making it, we only used carrots and celery because those are the only vegetables she would eat. But now, we pretty much add anything we have in the fridge and she devours it. Tonights inlcuded carrots, green onion, beets, rainbow chard, celery, and bell pepper.
In a large pot, bring 2 quarts chicken or vegetable stock to a simmer. Add chopped vegetables and pasta of choice, along with desired herbs. You can also easily throw in leftover shredded chicken.
Simmer on medium heat for about 20 minutes. That's it! Serve with whole grain rolls and fruit.
