Happy Homemaker Monday



As I look outside my window:::
It's cold and cloudy today.  This week is supposed to be really cold again.
  
Right now I am::: 
Sitting on the couch with my feet up, yawning away.  The girls are lazily laying on the other couch and chair watching Doc McStuffins. 
 
Thinking and pondering:::
I have to plan a birthday party for for Sydney and I have so much to do to get ready for the baby.
  
On my bedside table:::
Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding
 
On my tv tonight:::
I'm not really sure.

Listening to:::
The girls iPads playing the same thing but not at the exact same time.

Monday - Buffalo chicken
Tuesday - Pizza
Wednesday - Spaghetti
Thursday -

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
My crochet mood blanket, Kids handprint canvases


My simple pleasure:::

Crap reality TV!  I don't know why I love it, but I can't help it.  I think it's nice to watch it just to zone out and not have to really pay attention.

Lesson learned the past week:::  
I'm sure I learned something but at this moment I don't feel like I've learned anything.

Looking around the house:::
The kitchen needs some picking up.  My crochet bucket is sitting next to the couch, calling my name.  Sydney is snuggled up tight in a blanket on the chair, almost asleep, and Rylie is almost asleep on the love seat.  I think everyone went to bed too late last night, because we are all feeling it today.

From the camera:::
This adorable monster makes me laugh everyday!



Prayer List:::
My husband for safe travels this week and myself to keep my sanity over these next two months of craziness.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me. ~ Philippians 4:13

I'm eating a turkey bacon and gouda sandwich and drinking my venti mocha with 2 pumps of pumpkin spice. As I look outside my window::: The sun is shining so bright and it's absolutely gorgeous outside. The leaves are just starting to change. We put up our outside decorations last night for fall and Halloween. It's looks so cute out there. Right now I am:::: Sitting at the counter trying to quickly type up this post and eat my breakfast.

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.
