Fun Day

KK and Nick took the babies for ice cream and to the park today. The babies loved it!!

We LOVE Potato Soup

I've been in bed sick with strep throat the last few days. Thankfully Kelsey was able to come and keep the babies while I stayed away in bed.   I'm finally a little better today so I and got up to make the babies potato soup for lunch.  It turned out great. I followed a few recipes and didn't sure the crock pot.

Here's my recipe:
-3 bacon slices
-1 small onion
-6 large baking potatoes (peeled and diced)
-Low Sodium Chicken Broth (Large Carton)
-Ground black pepper
-Milk (or heavy cream)
-Cheddar Cheese
-Sour Cream
-Chopped chives

-Cook the bacon in a dutch oven pot. Add onion to the drippings and saute until tender
-Add diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. I added a little water as well. Season with black pepper, dried parsley, and salt if needed.  Cook on high heat for about 20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
-Use a immersion blender to mash the potatoes. I left a few chunks of potatoes. Add cheddar cheese and milk or cream to the pot until you get the consistency you want.
-Serve with Cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped chives. ENJOY!!
