Monday Morning in the Kitchen: Hearty Vegetable Soup

Winter weather demands steaming bowls of hot soup.  This recipe whips up in no time, with ingredients commonly found in the pantry.



Hearty Vegetable Soup

Brown 1-2 pounds ground turkey or ground beef.  Add 2 (15-oz.) cans of tomato sauce, 2 pints canned tomatoes, 1 shredded carrot, 2 cups shredded zucchini, 1 can green beans, 1 can corn, and salt and pepper to taste. 

Thanks for warm food on cold days.

    I made a pot of vegetable soup this weekend but used beans instead of meat for protein. It was perfect fuel for a cold winter day.

    Could have used this last week when it was so cold here. I am thankful that it is back up to 80 today!

    Yum! Thank you for using canned tomatoes. I put up a few hundred cans of tomatoes last fall and I need more ideas.

    That does sound fast and easy. I have never thought to shred veggies for soup. I think it's a good idea so I'll have to give it a try.

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this
