Reader Requests ~ Soups/Get Well Baskets

Black-eyed Pea and Cabbage Soup - The Southern Lady Cooks (recipe free online).

My take on this soup. I made it as a crock pot soup. I used a can of organic black-eye peas vs. dried. It was delicious. I will be making this again. I also used my homemade jalapeno salt to season the meat in it.

Hearty 3-Bean Soup - Clean Food Crush (free recipe online)

My take on this soup - I made it as a crock pot soup, and did not cook any of the veggies in tallow on the stove first. I used a can of organic fire roasted tomatoes vs the sun dried tomatoes. I would use home canned tomatoes if we had them. I've made this 3 different times, and each time used up some leftover broth (vegetable, chicken and beef) from various recipes, and we have loved it!

I have a new biscuit recipe to try, that I have had sitting around for a few months now. I thought it would be nice for the soup meals. If I ever get around to making it, I will be sharing the results on that too.

As for the compilation of the get well baskets, I have yet to get that all sorted out. Various reasons have delayed that, but I will post when I have figured it all out. Thanks for your patience. There are many folks dealing with sickness right now, and a 17 year-old girl passed away from the flu in an area hospital here. I am one to remind my husband to wash his hands up on arriving home from work anymore.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

The early morning weather here has been downright chilly. One morning it was 42 degrees. Flower beds have been weeded. The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden. I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors. They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online? Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day. I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day. Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest). We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb. I have not found a way to "opt" out either. If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share. If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha! You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays. I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing. Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog. Weird things are happening. Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords. Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer. Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
