Hearty chicken and wild rice soup that is made in the slow cooker! This simple soup is always a hit!

1 medium onion, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 cloved garlic, finely chopped
1 cup uncooked wild rice, rinsed and drained
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
10 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 cloved garlic, finely chopped
1 cup uncooked wild rice, rinsed and drained
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste

10 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

The Moistest Baked BBQ Chicken
One night our grill ran out of propane so I decided to bake my BBQ Chicken. I have been doing it this way ever since. The chicken is tender and moist every time!
Baked BBQ Chicken:
Ingredients:
4 large Boneless Organic Chicken Breasts
1 cup BBQ Sauce of your choice
A pinch of Ginger
3 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
Mix all ingredients in a glass pan and then place the chicken breast on top, then I spoon some of the BBQ mixture over the chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for 45min- 1 hours until no longer pink in the center.
****Image to the below is a old picture of Will grilling!

Creative Idea for Displaying School Pictures
I wanted a creative way to display Will's school pictures and I love the Dr. Seuss quote, "Oh, the places you'll go" so I created a picture frame that you can add pictures to!
Here is what you need:
Picture frame
Picture frame wire
Clothes Pins
Custom Vinyl with the quote "Oh the places, you'll go" (I recommend Kellon Designs, the owner was super easy to work with and the quality is excellent)
School Pictures
How to:
1. Attach picture frame wire to the back of the picture frame.
2. Hang picture frame on the wall.
3. Arrange pictures with clothes pins.
4. Apply your custom vinyl above the frame.
I love how it turned out, it is unique and I can easily add new pictures through the years!

A visit to Greenfield Village
We are so lucky to live so close to Greenfield Village. We spent the afternoon there and Will had the opportunity to make candles, which if you didn't know is a very long process. I have a new appreciation for candle making. If you are very in Michigan Greenfield Village is an attraction you shouldn't miss. Visit their site Greenfield Village for all you can see and do!
