Broccoli Soup Recipe

We have a very nice extended weekend with my hubby. He took Friday and today off but has to go back to work tomorrow. That said, I'm very grateful he has a job - I just love seeing him is all. Below is a picture we took of our family at church. I have a feeling this will be our Christmas picture to share. I don't foresee us doing another one anytime soon. rofl!



In other news, I made a broccoli soup yesterday that Matt loved. This is a huge deal because he's not very fond of broccoli. Here's the recipe. Instead of using velveeta, I just used twice the amount of cheddar. I also added in some shredded chicken (that's what my brother does with his soup). Everyone loved it! It was nice, thick and hearty. Can you find the bunch of broccoli in the below picture? I got this picture from this site. Very neat eigh?



Hmmm, not much more else to tell. Oh wait, there is! I'm making a whole foods type cookbook - ebook style. If you have any recipes to submit, please let me know. This will be available as soon as I feel I have enough recipes to make a book from. I'm also hoping to put tips and other neat little tidbits of info in this ebook. Woot!

Well that's all for now. Have a blessed evening!

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery.  So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy.  I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out.  I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing.  Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful.  I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips.  At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery.  I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible.  So my food options may seem different than ma...

Recommended Netflix Movies

I often see facebook posts of people looking for good, wholesome movies to watch with their spouse or their family.  Because of that,  I thought I'd make a list of netflix movies that our family has enjoyed, found educational, etc...  If you have some you think I should add to this list, leave me a comment.  I'll be updating periodically. Here goes!! Family Movies: The Hiding Place *The Last Sin Eater The Ultimate Gift *The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry Flywheel *Saving Sarah Cain Letters to God - this is a tear gripper! Faith Like Potatoes - caution here is the language used by an unsaved man in the beginning. End of the Spear *Chariots of Fire Facing the Giants *Beyond the Gates of Splendor Chronicles of Narnia One Night with the King *A Vow to Cherish The Inn of the Sixth Happiness Little House on the Prairie Swiss Family Robinson 17 Kids and Counting - this is the Duggar series.  I love this!  It's so inspiration!

Summer Herbal Tea

I made this up a couple years ago and it has def. been a summer favorite for me as well as for my kids.  If you can't drink black tea because of the caffeine (or other reasons), give this a try. Ingredients: 3 parts red raspberry leaf tea (not raspberry flavored) 1 part peppermint tea water Directions: 1. Steep tea as your normally would.  For me I use enough boiled water for a 2 quart pitcher.  I usually add in 6 Red Raspberry tea bags and 2 Peppermint Tea Bags.  If I have bulk, each tea bag itself usually contains about 1 teaspoon of loose tea.  I steep for 10 - 15 minutes, then take the tea bags out. 2. Add sweetener to taste - honey, stevia, etc... 3. Chill. It's that simple. What you're left with is a refreshing glass of tea for those hot summer days.  Below are some benefits of each of these teas.  Use caution when drinking peppermint tea while pregnant.  Spearmint is generally a better option. Red Raspberry Leaf Pepper...
