Happy Homemaker Monday

Oh boy I'm late today, but better late than never I suppose.

  

As I look outside my window:::
This morning it was warm and beautiful.  Took Ben to the Dr. at 11:45 and it was 65 degrees.  We came out an hour later and it was 15 degrees cooler.  We grabbed ice cream, came home ate lunch and I went outside to get the Halloween decorations down and it was sleeting on me.



Right now I am::: 
Supposed to be folding laundry... but I'm typing my blog and watching this weekend's Good Luck Charlie with Sydney.

Thinking and pondering:::
I could really use some sleep.

On my bedside table:::
Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman (I'm reading it to the kids at bedtime)
The Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson
The First American Cookbook A Facsimile of American Cookery, 1976 by Amelia Simmons

On my tv tonight:::
Bones
Sleepy Hallow
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Playing on the radio:::
Counting Stars by One Republic.  For some reason, I can't get this song out of my head, and I really like it.

On the menu for this week:::

Monday - Chili with cornbread
Tuesday - Beefy Cheesy Spaghetti Casserole
Wednesday - Loaded chicken and potatoes and homemade potatoes
Thursday - Stone Soup at Sydney's school and pizza after
Friday - 
Saturday - 
Sunday - 

On my to do list:::
Laundry
Dishes

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Ben's scarf

My simple pleasure:::
Crocheting by the fire watching a good movie.

Lesson learned the past week:::
Life isn't always fair, especially when it comes to your kids, and you just have to be there to help them get through the rough patches.  

Looking around the house:::
Ben and Rylie are asleep, dinner is on the stove, smelling amazing, and the washer and dryer are running.  Sydney and I are watching Good Luck Charlie.  There is a mountain of laundry in front of me to be folded.  

From the camera:::



On my prayer list:::
My poor Benny who can't seem to kick this ear infection.  He's in a lot of pain and I also just found out that due to his chronic ear infections he has failed his hearing test.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
May the bolts of your gates be iron and bronze; may your strength endure through all your days! Deuteronomy 33:25

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.
