best chicken broth EVAR! **Dragonborn Approved**

Ok, as promised here is my chicken stock!!! =]

 I am so happy! It turned out so well. We even used it for dinner tonight. Ok, so i cant take credit for this stock. Well, at least not for its recipe. I found this amazing recipe off a guest post that Paleomama did for The Paleo Parents.

This was the best post i have found on how to make paleo work for a family on a budget. Which we are indeed on a budget. like $110 a week budget. Its has proven a challenge but i think things will even out soon.
I was able to get the chicken for about $7.50 which was a steal and i mean look at that stock. It looks fabulous, so yummy and flavorful. In her post paleomama tells you that you can leave it for 24 - 48 hours. We chose to leave it for 48 hours, I think thats why its so dark. We are doing a second batch right now. I wonder how different they will taste? This is how our second batch was doing earlier.
looks pretty yummy to me! 

Now, without further a due, Our yummy dinner!

This is what DH's brilliant mind cook up.=] it was so yummy. He even thought of smoking the sausage beforehand. What a crafty man I have. 
Doesnt that look tasty? Spicy Italian turkey sausage with Fettuccine noodles in that yummy chicken stock. (yes i know they arent paleo but they were the only noodles i had in the house and i didnt want to run to the store.)  It was so tasty the dragonborn as for more almost five times! I swear she ate almost as much as i did. 
Now to make this yummy dish, you are gonna need...
4 cups chicken stock.
1 carrot
1.5 sticks of celery
Half of a small (ish) onion diced
your choice of sausage (we used turkey sausage)
your choice of noodles
Pinch of thyme and parsely 
Put the chicken stock into a 3qt pot. Chop your carrot, celery and onion and put them into your stock. Add the thyme, parsely. Chop up you sausage and add that in too. now comes the fun part, waiting for the stock to boil . YAY my favorite. ok now is when you can check your facebook and tell them about the delicious dinner you are making. Ok back to work now. About half way through the boil add in your noodles. We used fettuccine noodles broken into thirds, i really wish i had used other noodles. But whats done is eaten. finish boiling until noodles are tender. let cool 10 min and serve. A quick, easy one pot (or two if you finish your stock that same day) meal. 
and just because wanted to have her picture taken with her "purple" dragon.
I have no idea why its purple when she knows its red. But hey its better than that purple dinosaur, he gives me the creeps.
