Marissa's 3rd Birthday

Thank you everyone for making my baby feel so loved and special!

A girl's dream cake....pink, sparkly, with tractors....

Chocolate crayons from Auntie....

and a new bike from Papa & Grandma!

Marissa's birthday was so fun. Just the family over for home-made cake, presents for the birthday princess, and lots of love for her. PERFECT!

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 :)

My rating:
