Cabin Retreat!

Playing doctor of course

Late night movies!

Me & Kelsy

The little girls have kisses for Josh

We were so priviledged to spend the weeked after Thanksgiving at our friend's cabin. There was plenty of relaxing to be done, games to play, and 4-wheelin' fun! Our kids and theirs play so well together, in fact we're suspicious both our 2-year old girls might be twins. . . . .

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 :)
