Looking forward


 Praising God for a Blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends! Fellowship with family as we ate, laughed, and enjoyed being together.

Looking forward to celebrating Christmas as we join Ann at A Holy Experience in An Advent Celebration.

Thank you Ann for this gift of the Jesse Tree Journey.

Enjoyed sewing today and organizing my sewing room, making Christmas To-Do list, and finishing the borders for a quilt for a Christmas gift.

Potato Soup



We found a recipe for the most 
yummy potato soup ever!
Amazingly, it's so easy! 
****************

Potato Soup

8-10 med. size potatoes, or enough to fill your crockpot

1 onion

3 to 4 cans chicken broth

Nature's Seasoning

Cream cheese

Garnish: Cheese and bacon bits


1. Peel your potatoes and dice into small pieces.

2. Toss into crock pot with 3 cans chicken broth and add water to cover potatoes

3. Cut onion and add to pot
4. Sprinkle a couple tablespoons of Nature's Seasonings or seasoning of your choice

5. Cook on high all day, at lease 4-5 hours.

6. Add cream cheese cut into little pieces and mix well.

We made this around 10 a.m. and left the house all day.
When we returned the potatoes were cooked.

At this point I transfered the potatoes to a large 
pot on my stove and bringing to a boil I added cornstarch water (3-4 tablespoons cornstarch to 4-5 ounces water, stir with fork until smooth)
until thickened.
Turn down on med low and simmer until
cream cheese is melted completely.
Add garnish: cheese and bacon bits

This makes a large pot. We enjoyed leftovers 
for lunch the next day and also had enough to take grandma and grandpa.
Super Yummy!!
