Friday Fun

So... I guess I'm trying to compensate for not posting at all last month, by posting a bunch this month.  Or I suppose I'm just trying to slow down and enjoy the good things about each day.  Today certainly had good things.  Sister's, Joanna and Lydia spent the night in our Home on Spring Street while Mama and Papa Dell took a trip to Hillsdale to visit Isaac and Rebekah.  It was such a blessing to have Lydia and Jo around to help me with the boys today.  It was also a blessing that Joanna made Pumpkin Spice muffins (Oh, you've never heard of those? Well, thats because they didn't exist until today).

Oh... and also pumpkin spice lattes... so yummy...

Oh...and also walks to the Wilmington Library.

Potato Soup: My favorite comfort food

My last post had enough in it for three separate posts.  So I'll keep this one short and sweet.

Today is rainy, dark, and a little dreary.

What do days like today make you crave more than anything? The answer is comfort food of course!

Nothing says comfort like a nice, steaming, bowl of potato soup, so thats what I made.

There are thousands of different potato soup recipes out there, but I think what attracted me to the one I used was the simplicity of it.  There are only four main ingredients; potatoes, flour, butter, and milk, ingredients many people always have in their kitchens.  You can view the recipe I used here.

The nice thing about a simple recipe is that it gives you the freedom to get creative and add whatever you want.  I sprinkled some cheese, bits of bacon, and green onions on top of mine, and it was delicious.

Add a slice of homemade bread to complete a hit-the-spot meal.
