Happy Homemaker Monday

I'm so frustrated because I tried to post this Monday.  Thought I posted it Monday, and today I logged in to find it sitting in my drafts file.  GRRRRR!



The Weather:::
Amazing!!!

 

Right now I am: 
Sitting on the couch watching Bethanny and just finished a piece of left over birthday cake.

Thinking:
About going to brunch, and then all the things I have to do today.

On my reading pile:::
Haven't been reading much.  I still need to finish reading Eleanor.

On my tv:::
I have to watch Breaking Amish, Sister Wives, and My Five Wives

On the menu for this week:::

Monday - Chili
Tuesday - Out to eat for Ben's Birthday
Wednesday -Fajitas
Thursday - Beefy Cheesy Spaghetti Casserole
Friday - Shredded Chicken BBQ sandwiches
Saturday -
Sunday -

On my to do list:::
Laundry
A little last minute birthday shopping
 
What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I haven't done anything lately nor do I see the time to do so in my near future.  It's kind of sad.

Looking around the house:::
My house is sort of a mess...  It could use a little picking up all around.  Sydney is sitting on the little couch watching The Fresh Beat Band on her iPad and playing on her toy drum set.  Rylie is sleeping in her playpen.

From the camera:::




On my prayer list:::
My family
Everyone effected by the shootings at the DC Navy Yard.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:17

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.
