Potato Soup
(I kind of eye ball everything and make changes everytime I make it)
Chop up 4-5 potatos
dice up carrots
dice up celery
Use about 3 cups of water to boil the veggies
Boil until all the veggies are tender.
Add Chicken broth to continue cooking veggies.
You can use Sausage or Bacon (Ive done both, next time Im gonna try to use Sausage AND Bacon)
Melt 1 stick of butter and add about 4 Tablespoons of flour to make a "Rue". Add in a package of cream cheese and stir until creamy. I usually end up adding a little bit of milk so its not soo thick I cant stir it easily.
Then I add the veggies to a crock pot, pour the white sauce in as well and mix well. I then add the meat. Let it all cook together for 3-5 hours. LOVE THIS on a cold winter day! Be careful though. Ive noticed Potato soup always seems to stay VERY hot for a long time and makes you super full!
My Randomness.....Mostly recipes and cooking. I guess its kinda a hobby site. Anything from cooking to making things for the kids. My fave finds and whatever else I feel like posting. No particular reasons or order to it all.

First attempt at cakes
I made the kids' birthday cakes. They turned out ok for my first attempt at it! I spent a whole day baking and decorating. It was alot of work but they got done!!! The kids enjoyed them! Jaxon completely smashed his up with some of it getting into his mouth, and Cameryn was so excited for her party she had a few bites and decided she was done. Oh well. They looked cool! I also made the cake Marble cake for the first time. YUM!
