 Homemaking Tips:::
I don't have any, other than making homemade dishwasher soap because I just made another batch this weekend.

 Looking around the house:::
Ben is resting and watching tv in his room.  The girls are laying around in the living room.  I'm just being lazy.  The house smells amazing thanks to my fall candles.

 From the camera:::


On my prayer list:::
My brother in law and his girlfriend as they finishing moving into their apartment.

Yea, I'm having a hard time staying on track for the Widow Of Larkspur Inn myself. I've been so busy that when I do have time to read and I start it, I get not really bored, but just to the point I think about other things I could be doing. Last night, a friend loaned me the Grimms complete book of fairy tales. I started it last night. Talk about morbid, but for some reason, I love it.

I don't know how to explain what I'm making for the fireplace. It's a bunch of different crocheted pieces connected together in fall colors. I'll be sure to take a picture when I'm done.

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
