Peachy Keen....


We now interrupt this cooking blog for a timeout for peaches.....we just picked an enormous amount of peaches and therefore....are making peach everything. Okay not everything, but we have been making peach jam, dehydrating peaches, peach smoothies, peach pie (didn't turn out so great!) and are enjoying the peaches whole....stop on in for a peachy good time!

Strawberry Jam by the bucket loads....


So my amazing mom taught me how to make strawberry jam simply this summer....so in a small effort to be half as amazing as my mother I started doing a little of my own.....lets just say I probably got a little carried away, but we have plenty of jam for a while. I can't wait to make peach jam with a new friend from school!!!

Dish 17/440: Potato Soup


Okay....I know that I totally fell off the cooking bandwagon for a minute, but I am getting back on ( I have still been cooking, just not posting) and starting with this fabulous dish...

Creamy Potato Soup

This soup is so delicious and creamy, and most importantly easy! All you need is 2/3 cup butter, 2/3 flour, 6 cups of milk, a 12 oz. can of evaporated milk, 1lb mushrooms (I used canned mushrooms), 1 small bunch of green onions, 4 cups of potatoes peeled and cubed, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Cooked bacon for the top and a little cheese for the top as well. DELICIOUS!!!!
