Autumn Soups...


Hey out there!
Quick note to say that I made the Lentil Sausage soup the other night- and REALLY liked it. Only change was that I didn't have any fennel (do you?!?!). And, if I were doing it again, I'd add either more water- or a can of broth/stock of some sort. The leftovers didn't have enough liquid. And, I only used 2 Tbsp of red wine vinegar- didn't want that to be too strong. And, I think I tossed a little thyme on each bowl.

Also realized that I didn't put a link on the Butternut Squash with Cider Cream soup. This has become a bit of a thanksgiving tradition around here- however, we had 3 butternut squash from the garden- so I made it early. Check it out! Sooooo yummy!!!! I ate every last drop!

Tammy- let us know how the pumpkin soup is and any changes you made (so I can use them when I make it!)

If you have a bread maker--- a cheddar cheese and onion bread is delicious with just about any soup! If you'd like the recipe for that (it's in the kitchen and I'm feeling so lazy right now...) email me!

Have a COZY day!

What's for dinner?!?! Back to the routines...

Hi there friends! I pray you are having a Happy New Year!!! I'm trying to get things "reset" and back to square one and prepare for another semester. Part of that for me means a menu- what are we going to eat?!?! In my quest for new and fresh ideas- I thought I'd share a few thing I found. First, Family Fun magazine's website has a "Month of Meals". I have added lots of them to our menu. I also found some great ideas at All Recipes.com. I went to the budget-friendly page- and found slow cooker, meals under $10, etc. and added several of those as well.

I find that if I know what I'm making for dinner and try to have it on the table at a reasonable time0 the rest of my life goes pretty well! Kids can get to bed on-time, I can get some things done in the evening, get myself to bed on-time, get up when I plan to- to have my quiet time and start the day showered and dressed as the kids get up and ready for the day. So- hence the menu- meal time is important!!!

Hope these sites are helpful to you as they have been to me!
Blessed 2009!!!
