Lemony Chicken Soup (Part 2)

Here it is…waiting for me. Let’s get this soup on the burner! I brought the soup to a low boil (which took a little longer than I had anticipated) and added the noodles. Once the soup came to a boil, after 15 minutes, it was all ready for us! I…

Lemony Chicken Soup (Part 1)

Lemony Roast Chicken yesterday, Lemony Chicken Soup the today. Knowing that we would be away from home for most of the morning and early afternoon, and that we would welcome our life group from church into our home tonight, I decided to work ahead for dinner. After I carved the…

Baked, Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Cauliflower Mash…the Verdict

Well, I told you I would let you know whether or not my husband enjoyed this new recipe. While he did like the cauliflower mash better than any other way he has eaten cauliflower, he won’t be giving up mashed potatoes anytime soon. 🙂 Next time, in order to make…
