Hi Liz!
I have been crazy busy too since school started, I feel like I haven't commented on anyone's blogs, which is sad because the few I do enjoy seeing, I also enjoy commenting on.
I can see how hectic life has been for you the last month or so and I enjoy seeing all the great things you do as a family! Don't worry about those dishes or the laundry, they will get done! Enjoy those babies everyday. I am on my lunch break right now, so hopefully I can check in on your posts later this week!
Take care & "just keep swimming!" :)

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.
