My very own egg noodles.

I've wanted to try my hand at egg noodles for awhile, and last Saturday the perfect scenario arose:  I had an abundance of eggs and two whole chickens in the fridge.

Chicken noodle soup?  I think so.

Homemade noodles?  Why not?  Cooking whole chickens does wonders for making you feel invincible in the kitchen.

I used Pioneer Woman's recipe.

They look pretty in this picture,

 

but a dozen eggs is pretty messy.  (Yes, Nate quite enjoyed documenting my mess.)

Enjoy!
