My son had a pot of coffee brewing for me on Christmas morning....The fun part of that is that I woke up to get the coffee going...but smelled coffee going already! I was going to surprise the kids with their stocking gifts...all kinds of cappuccino, creamers, iced coffee...Guess they turned the surprise on me! If I plan things just right...there will not be any cooking done today. I think we will try this recipe from http://www.allrecipes.com/ to use some of our ham leftovers.
Ham and Potato Soup
3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1/3 cup diced celery
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup diced cooked ham
3 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground white or black pepper, or to taste
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Directions
1.Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham and water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper.
2.In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
3.Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.
I am excited about some things I am planning for the blog.....I will keep the recipes going, finish our Fifty-Nifty Recipe Tour....and a few new topics I have in the making.
Let's do a few more of the Bible virtues....praying for your children. Remember that your children are never too young or too old to pray for.....each day. I have a scheduled prayer time, but there are other times I remember to pray for specific people throughout the day. For example....My mother-in-law~ I have a small Irish wind chime hanging in the bedroom window....As I fold laundry~I pray for that person....There are little reminders all over the house that encourage me to think and pray for that person.
#22 Contentment Phil.4:12-13 Not only that they should be content with what physical things they have, but also in the situations that they are in....
#23 Faith Luke 17: 5-6, Hebrews 11:1-40 I pray that faith takes root and grows in their lives...
#24 A servant's heart Eph. 6:7 Wow...
#25 Hope Rom.15:13
#26 Willingness and ability to work Col. 3:23
Well, thank you for stopping by today....Enjoy some quiet time!
