With gratitude to Sarah Giampapa, I found the encouragement to actually complete Thanksgiving journal in time for this year's festivities. She made and posted her beautiful books she gave to her MOPS moms, and I thought to myself for the last time, I can do that! So I did it.

With so much going on in life, and I don't just mean now, it's important to be thankful to God for all His blessings big and small; to praise His name always; and to celebrate thanksgiving with others.

What a wonderful memory this little notebook of thanks will become. I look forward to the notebook growing and maturing.....

Recipes Worth Sharing. . . .

Because eating kid food is getting tiresome, I've been braving new recipes. I'll post a one that's worth sharing and give a little review. . . .

Ham & Potato Soup

3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1/3 cup diced celery
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup diced cooked ham
3 1/4 cups water
2 Tbsp chicken bouillon granules
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1 tsp pepper, or to taste
5 Tbsp butter
5 Tbsp flour
2 cups milk

1. Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham, and water in stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper.

2. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form, until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring over medium heat until thick, about 4-5 minutes.

3. Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot and cook soup until heated through.

My review:
Quick and simple soup recipe, compliments of allrecipes. com. I added chopped carrots, and used un-peeled red potatoes.
My children enjoyed this soup also.
Better on day two :)
