My Very First Blogging Award!

By


I won my very first blog award.  Please forgive me, but this is very exciting!  Thank you Feliz4Life!

As with everything else in the world, there are rules to this award.

  1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award
  2. Share 7 things about yourself
  3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers
  4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award
Hmmm... 7 things about myself...

  1. If you ask me what my favorite is of anything, I will tell you an answer, but then a ton of others will come flooding in to my head and I can't make up my mind.  It doesn't matter if it's favorite movie, food or even color.  I can't make a decision because I have tons of favorites and they change with my mood.
  2. My son was 4 months old at my wedding.  We were planning on getting married when we had the money to do exactly what we wanted and then I got pregnant and we didn't want Ben or anyone to think that we were just getting married because I was pregnant.  I wouldn't change a thing.
  3. I am allergic to everything but horses and palm trees.  Because we live in Kansas where we have everything I'm allergic to, I suffer A LOT!
  4. I have hoarding tendencies so I've become OCD about putting things away or throwing things out to overcome these tendencies.
  5. I hate cleaning the house.  I'd rather hire a maid and spend the whole day, every day, laughing and playing with my kids.  If I did hire a maid though, I'd probably just walk around behind them and redo everything the way I like it.
  6. If I had to have a career outside of the home and away from my kids but it could be any job, I would own and run my own restaurant.
  7. I've never really felt that I was great at anything until I kids.  I was good or ok at a lot of things, but never great.  Being a mom and wife is something I think I'm pretty great at.
Here are the 15 Versatile Bloggers I pass this award to:



Alright, so unless I can't count (which is quite possible) that should be all 15.  I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do.

Potato Soup

By
During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil. Once hot and melted together add the onions and celery. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the potatoes and minced garlic to the pot and continue to sauté all of the ingredients for about 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock and increase th
