Super Supper Soups

-
Tis the season for soup!!! I found the basic recipe for this soup online and tinkered with it a bit. It's delish!

Steak Supper Soup

  • 3 C chopped  potatoes (I used fingerlings and pretty much just halved them. I left the skins on. You could use any potatoes.)
  • 1.5 # good quality stew meat (not too fatty) chopped bite sized
  • 1 sm. onion chopped
  • 1 sm bag of frozen corn (not in original recipe-I added it.  It would be good with beans , peas or one of those bags of all three. Fresh chopped carrots would also work-I'm trying that next time.)
  • 3 sm cans of beef broth
  • 1 c thick brown steak sauce (not BBQ or Worcestershire sauce)
  • 1 TBS chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin. 
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper if desired (I didn't)
  • Dry parsley if desired (I didn't)
Throw 'er all in the crock pot and let 'er rip for 8-10 hours on low. Doesn't get easier than that and Oh-My-Yum! Plus I forgot I made it so when I came home and smelled supper ready it was a pleasant surprise. I sprinkled a bit of shredded cheddar over the top because it is a state mandate in Wisconsin to add cheese to everything you eat. A dollop of sour cream would work too! Great with a piece of crusty bread.

It made a whole crock pot full so I had it for supper and put another bowls worth in the fridge. Then I froze 3 containers with two bowls each for nights when I don't feel like, or have time for, cooking. Try it! You won't be disappointed!

This is another go to recipe I use a lot. Cousin Rhonda first introduced me to it when I visited California.  It's quick and easy! I often double it for the crock pot.

Dad's Meatball Soup
1 14 oz can beef broth
1 can Hunt's fire roasted diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 can water
8 oz frozen meatballs
1 sm. onion-chopped fine
1 c frozen mixed veg (corn, peas, beans)
1 tsp oregano or Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Orzo or other small pasta
Salt and pepper to taste

I have made this on the stove (because it was quick) or let it go all day in the crock pot. Either way it's yummy! Really good with fresh crusty bread or corn bread

Enjoy! Happy Winter Soup Season!

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
