Happy Homemaker Monday


The weather outside is::::
It's like 80 degrees today but I hear, there is a cold front moving through tonight.

On the breakfast plate this morning::::
Coffee and a bowl of cream of wheat!  So delicious!

As I look outside my window:::
The sun is shining and it's beautiful!  If only the tree in my front yard would change colors already.  All the rest of the trees on our street are a gorgeous red, but not mine.

Right now I am::::
Sitting on the couch, typing this post, and watching a little Manzo'd With Children.

As I look around the house::::
I need to do dishes and oh so much laundry!  The floors need vacuuming and sweeping also.  The big girls are playing with toys in the playroom and watching their iPads, and Scotland is working out in her exersaucer.

On today's to do list::::
Laundry.....I have bedding, and lots of clothes to wash.
Cleaning.....I need to do the dishes, sweep the kitchen floor and vacuum the rest of the house.
Crocheting.....I'd like to work on my table centerpiece mat thing.
Cooking....I need to figure out dinner.
Dance.... Sydney has dance this evening clear across town.
Pumpkin carving!

What I am creating at the moment::::
I'm working on a crochet centerpiece mat for the kitchen table that is nice and fall-ish.  I also need to sew the hem on the mini table cloth I'm making for the make shift end table in the living room.  I also have a paint project for my living room.  I have some 8x10 canvases the kids are going to paint and then a really big one I'm going to tape off inspirational family friendly worlds and then paint it and then I have one canvas that I want to do all of our handprints on.  I think it will be really cool.

New recipe I tried or want to try this week::::
I got a new cookbook.  It's really amazing.  It's called Thug Kitchen Eat like you give a f*ck.  I love it because it teaches you the easy and tasty ways to cook healthy foods.

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.
