Are you catching a theme on the web site? I like food and I like cooking? I hope that doesn't bore you!
Opening the cupboards to see what was available for this Little Bit of Lunch affair revealed...not much in the cupboards! Someone has not gone grocery shopping for awhile....ME! I was up the challange, though. A neighbor recently gave us a 50-pound bag of potatoes. That was a start! The weather was cool so soup was definitely a possibilty....
I ended up making Potato Chowder. This is a staple soup in our house during the winter.
This is a picture of the potatoes cooking in chicken bouillion, onion, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook the potatoes until they are almost tender. Because I was going to keep the soup warm in the crockpot for several hours and I didn't want mushy potatoes, I only cooked them until they were almost done. They continued cooking in the crock pot.
To the boiling potatoes I added shredded carrots. Because I am a meat lover, I also cooked up three chicken breasts with a bunch of herbs, cubed it and added it to the potatoes. Thus, we had Chicken Potato Chowder! The soup is even better with shredded cheddar cheese on it so cheese was shredded for each of us to spoon on our soup.
Digging in the freezer, I pulled out some raspberries. I stirred up Sour Cream Raspberry Muffins! Yum...yum!
And then a fresh fruit salad. Bananas, oranges, and raspberries sprinkled on the top with a little orange juice to keep the bananas from turning brown...kept chilled in the refrigerator until it was time to eat. If you look closely, the raspberries have frost on them from the freezer!
It was fun to hear my friend exclaim, "oh look at this table and the food...!"
This friend is a prayer partner. Once a week we find time to pray together. After we enjoyed our soup, muffins and fruit, we prayed. Did you notice I didn't have a dessert on my menu?
Prayer was the dessert for this Little Bit of Lunch!
What a great menu! Email me if you'd like recipes!
