Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

We are starting off very cold here!

Update Before Spring!

Just a quick update before winter has disappeared and spring has sprung once more!  Three months have just flown by at our home.  How about yours?

We have been cleaning.

And crafting.

And making messes!

And cooking.

Being very cold!

Watching movies.

Being creative!

And celebrating!

What have you been doing?  I hope it was fun!

It's Cold Outside!

We had fog last night. We woke up to this.



It was very pretty, but also very COLD!



Within a short time, we had sunshine. It was so beautiful with the frozen fog!



Then, the clouds came in and it started to sleet, then snow, and the WIND was really getting strong! Gusts of 40 to 50 miles an hour! Sure made it cold! Maggie and Phoebe were even cuddled up on the sofa!



Stay warm! We're looking forward to some balmy 40's this week! Maybe we will finish decorating then!

Soup From The Pantry

I am getting ready to decorate for Christmas at our house. I like to prepare a quick meal to save having to spend so much time in the kitchen and give me more time for cleaning and putting Fall away. It is really cold here this week! I wanted a good hot soup! 8 can soup was it! Very easy to make! I added a pound of browned lean ground beef to 8 cans of :




Now, isn't that easy??? No spices, added salt, or measuring! You don't even have to buy name brand! If you don't have ground beef, don't add it! This makes almost 4 quarts of hot, tasty soup! Yum!



If you want to really make my hubby happy, make a hot pan of cornbread to serve with it!



We ate this for lunch and we will have it again for dinner! I put two containers of it in the freezer to have at a later date. Do you enjoy making soup on a cold winter day?
