Apple Dumplings!

I made Pioneer Woman's Apple Dumplings last night, and all I can say is YUM!

Thank you for your help, Rachel!

I may add 1 1/2 sticks of butter next time, instead of the 2 sticks, but it was SO yummy!

No kidding, go try them!

Crock Pot Potato Soup! YUM!!!

Here you go, Julie! This recipe is my absolute favorite as far as soups go. Here's what's left of ours.

It's from the Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook: Feasting with your Slow Cooker cookbook. Here is what you will need, according to page 62, No-Fuss Potato Soup:

6 cups, diced, peeled potatoes

5 cups water

2 cups diced onions

1/2 cup diced celery

1/2 cup chopped carrots

1/4 cup margarine or butter

4 tsp. chicken bouillon granules

2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

~~~~

12 oz. can evaporated milk

3 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

8 oz. cheddar or Colby cheese, shredded

1. Combine all ingredients except milk, parsley and cheese in slow cooker.

2. Cover. Cook on High 7-8 hours, or until vegetables are tender.

3. Stir in milk and parsley. Stir in cheese until it melts. Heat thoroughly.

Variations:

1. For added flavor, stir in 3 slices bacon, browned until crisp and crumbled.

2. Top individual servings with chopped chives.

Here're my little tips on ingredients, since I sincerely doubt you want them in the ingredient list. :) For the diced onions, I usually use onion powder since a certain husband doesn't like the way onions "crunch". Doubt they will after 8 hours, but hey, I'm one to help out and it requires NO cutting. The celery works out to about 2 stalks and for the carrots I chop a handful of the baby ones and throw them in. Not much measuring here. I usually don't use 2 tsp. of salt either. Seems a little much to me.

See what you think and lemme know how it turns out.

Have a peaceful day all,

Jenny

P.S. Sorry about the spacing issues. Seems this is the way blogspot likes it. :)
