Egg Drop Soup

This recipe is so good, and it honestly couldn't be any easier. Mr. Whicker was doubt full when I wanted to try this one out... But he quickly changed his mind after he tried it! Next time you find yourself in need of a quick, and tasty dinner, give this soup a try. Bake up some egg rolls, and you've got yourself a winning combination the whole family will enjoy!


Egg Drop Soup

4 cups chicken broth
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
1/8 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tbsp. corn starch
4 eggs

Reserve 1/2 cup of chicken broth, and set aside, pour the remaining in a large saucepan. Stir the ginger, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt in saucepan, bring to a boil. In a cup, or small bowl, stir together reserved chicken broth, and cornstarch until smooth, then slowly stir into broth. In a small bowl beat the eggs together using a fork. Pour egg slowly into the boiling broth mixture. Egg should cook quickly. Serve immediately.

French Dip Sandwiches



I promise I will get some recipes on here for dinner that are not made in a crock pot/slow cooker... But honestly some great food comes out of those little contraptions!

This recipe is one of the easiest to make, and liked by everyone. Mr. Whicker loves French Dips now... He wasn't so sure the first time I placed one of these bad boys in front of him; he has since come to see the error of his ways! We made these for a family Super Bowl party last year, we didn't leave with much to take home!

French Dip Sandwiches, Family Favorite Recipes
2-3 lb oven roast
2 cans beef broth (about 4 cups)
2 pkgs Lipton Onion Soup Mix
white Italian sub rolls (We get ours from Subway, they sell a 12" roll for 50 cents!)
provolone cheese slices

Put oven roast in crock pot. Add beef broth and soup mix. Cook on low 7-8 hours. Shred roast with a fork, and return shredded beef to crock pot for a few more minutes. Slice open bread, and place a good amount of beef on one side, top beef with cheese slices. Broil open sandwich in oven for a few minutes, until the cheese gets melted and bubbly. Remove from oven, and serve with a ladle of au-jus left in crock pot.
