Homemaking Tips:::


Looking around the house:::
Ben is laying on the couch watching a movie on his iPad.  The girls are napping in front of the fire.  I'm surrounded by yarn and love.  I love afternoons like this.  

From the camera:::
I actually took this picture on the way to the grocery store this morning.  It was too beautiful not to.




On my prayer list:::
Praying for my kids and the rest of my family who have the flu or these awful viruses that are going around.

Fear not, I am with you; be not dismayed; I am your God. I will strengthen you, and help you, and uphold you with my right hand of justice. ~ Isaiah 41:10

Thank you! I'm enjoying the snow, even though the kids are sick so we aren't letting them go play in it. They think we are mean, but last night my husband brought a big snowball inside and let my son throw it after they all touched it.

I am loving Doctor Who. I've always wanted to watch it, and just never did. I do that with a lot of tv shows, you know, want to watch them, then don't. I have a lot to watch really fast before April then. Hahaha!

Happy New Year to you and your wonderful family as well.

Potato Soup

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.
