I was in a mood to cook today since the monster in laws (LOL) are gone. I made my mom's chicken macaroni soup. It's very easy and I was able to find a good use for the leftover rotisserie chicken. I shredded the chicken, then sauteed garlic and onions. Toss in the chicken, carrots, cabbages, chicken broth and evaporated milk. Salt and pepper to taste, and toss in cooked macaroni. Then I put 2 eggs to swirl and make the soup more creamy. That's it! I was still feeling adventurous, so we went to an Asian store and got some lumpia wrapper (egg roll wrapper). I saw that they have fresh ground chicken and I decided to grab some to make lumpia (egg rolls). We still have lots of leftover chicken macaroni soup, so I froze the lumpia (egg rolls) and we'll just either air fry or deep fry some for lunch or dinner tomorrow.

All of the things that you are going to make with the chicken sound really nice.

It helped lift my mood. After a very frustrating 24 hour-day, I am finally free from those people, LOL! At least for now.

I used to like to make egg rolls, here they do not sell the wrappers, so I will have to make them myself.

I don't know how to make my own, so I am at the mercy of what the stores have. Sometimes they do not have the right stuff, and it affects the quality of the egg rolls.

I guess that's the good effect of pissing me off! I get into a cooking frenzy, and hubby has a happy tummy!

Your meal sounds delicious. I wish I had that much ambition to cook a big meal. Lately my meals have been super easy

I was needing to do something to take my mind off of my monster in-laws! Cooking helped and worked, but I doubt if I am going to be that ambitious everyday.

You've made tasty dishes. Your mom surely likes all that you cook.

Unfortunately my mom still lives in the Philippines. The last time I visited was in 2019 before the whole pandemic shuts down international travel. I know I am due for a visit soon, we'll see how it will go.

This only happens very infrequently, so the husband better enjoy it while it last!
