Pies to Go
One of my goals for this Holiday season is to get the kiddos and me involved with community events, and help out a bit if we can. On the Church bulletin I spotted a great opportunity to help. In November there are two community dinners that need desserts, and you know I love to bake.
I’m planning on baking two Dutch Apple Pies for the first dinner. For the second dinner I’ll be baking One Peach Pie, One Dutch Apple Pie, and an Apricot Bundt Cake for the Community Thanksgiving Dinner. The boy’s will get to help out with the delivery, and I know we’ll all feel happy about helping our community out.

Rainy Day Snacks
The weather is cold and rainy, and we all are stuck indoors. We decided to rent Alvin and the Chipmunks from RedBox, and I made Rice Krispies treats and Chocolate Milk for the boys. Dylan and Thade were both thrilled with the special snacks!

Oops Potato Soup
I was making Scalloped Potatoes for dinner last night and somehow I accidentally added in too much water. Perhaps I was distracted by too many boys in the kitchen. When the Scalloped Potatoes made it out of the oven they were super soupy, even too soupy for Dylan to eat. What will I do with this failed dish…. Blend it up and call it Oops Potato Soup!
I waited until the Scalloped Potatoes cooled a bit, and then I carefully spooned them in to the Blender.
I added in a little Whole Milk until I got a nice smooth constancy.
Since we had already had dinner, I put the Potato Soup in a container, and its off to the freezer for later.
I think when I reheat the soup I’ll (accidentally) add in a little Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Chopped Broccoli, and maybe even a little crumbled Bacon.
I think the soup would go great with Grilled Cheese sandwiches, or Bacon Sandwiches, although you can never go wrong with Homemade Garlic Toast or Crunchy Croutons. I just might like Scalloped Potatoes even better as Oops Potato Soup.
