Healthy Cheap Recipes- Vegetable Soup

I’m not really a fan of most vegetable only soups, they tend to be wimpy and bland in flavor and in fulfillment. But this is a nice exception. You can play around with the vegetables if you like, but try to keep them somewhat similar. It’s easy to have a muddled flavor with too many vegetables. Pick things you know already go well together. This is a supremely healthy soup.

Hey Everyone (all three of you)

Update: I’m sticking with this one.

I am trying to find a better theme for my blog, not really in love with this current one. So if you stumble upon this blog in the next few days and it scares you please forgive me. I’m not the best with this kind of stuff and if I mess something up it might take me awhile to fix it.

Thank you and have a blessed day!

If you do decide to use canned, you should still saute them with the onion to develop a little browning. Either way its good. Read more

Amish White Bread

This is a readily available recipe, but since its my blog and I am using it for archival purposes I am posting it here for future reference. It deserves the hype. I have a loaf rising as I type and looking forward to eating that soft deliciousness. If you’ve never made homemade bread you really should give it a try. It’s not as hard as some make it out to be and once you get the hang of it, you have a wonderful life skill that will be a blessing to yourself and others. Read more
