Spicy Pickles My eldest niece decided she wanted to help her mother (my sister) with planting their Vegetable garden in the spring.

Chicken and Dumpling Soup This is what we had for dinner tonight and Mike loved it 🙂 I can’t help it, it’s winter and it’s cold and crappy and I love soup. I love everything about soup, the smell and the warmth while it cooks, curling up with a blanket and watching the snow fall…
Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Soup Of all the soups I’ve made over the years (I’m really starting to push 40… hard), this soup is without a doubt the best one I’ve made.
