Cheese-Broccoli Soup

4 T butter
1-1/2 c chopped broccoli (all fresh veggies please)
1-1/2 c chopped carrots
1-1/2 c chopped celery
1 small onion diced
1/4 lb. canadian ham, diced
1/4 c water
1/3 c flour
4 c milk
1/3-1/2 lb. velveeta cheese
1/2 can undiluted cheddar cheese soup
1/8 t garlic powder
1 T parsley flakes
1/2 t salt & pepper

Combine butter and veggies, ham and water. Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes. Stir in flour. Slowly add milk. Boil to thicken. Lower heat, add cheeses and seasonings. Do not boil again, just heat through. Use a very heavy pan to keep from scorching the milk. Can be doubled and frozen.

To reheat if frozen (we freeze in single serving sizes): Heat, covered, on high for 4 minutes. Stir. Heat for 1-2 more minutes.

thanks!!!

Hopefully I'll go back to sleep in a bit, I'm pretty disappointed in myself. I had my BG levels looking really good, I had more sugar yesterday than I should and my levels show it this morning. Here's another "can't sleep" page,

I have to get back to my PP project that I started before the scrapbbok craze, although I am adding some of the elements into the slide show.

how absolutely adorable!!!!! Sorry you couldn't sleep.

Please pick me up on you way as well.

The advertisement on the DIS keeps saying "Free Lethal Injections", or "Free Kick in the Pants" it is for a game but it doesn't say that for awhile.

I can see it being more fun with adults and a lot of liquor involved!

that sounds like a very good party!!! (your idea of alcohol and psychics) the kid one sounds like the girls had fun which of course is the desired outcome.

Robyn - We went to Cafe Brazil. It's a local chain. I had the French Toast with fruit. HUGE portion of melon, strawberries, bananas over French toast with raspberry cream sauce. It's my favorite. They also have an awesome self-serve coffee bar.
We should go there when you guys come to Dallas.

that sounds scrumptious!!! My breakfast you ask??? cornbread and Ritz chips

I just realized Lucy is 7 months old today! Where has the time gone?

don't blink because pretty soon she'll be 16 Can you tell I am wondering where the time went with Cassidy???

 

[babytrees]

Sad but true!



And we could visit the Academy, find you and Cassidy both a man in uniform

not yet!!! Thank you very much!!!

I forgot to mention - I tried a recipe from the Crock Pot thread. All it was was pork, a packet of onion soup mix, and a can of jellied cranberry sauce (no berries). We threw it into the crock pot until the port was done. Best thing we've made in a long time! You don't taste the cranberry sauce at all, and it goes great with mashed potatoes.

ohhhh...I'll have to try that one....how long was it in the crock for???

Chanon,

The second golf ball is 1,000% better

Channon I forgot to say....much, much better!!

 

[babytrees]

Yeah, where were you last night?

long story let's just say it was very loud in my house and then it got very cold and quiet.

 

[babytrees]

im with ya--its already 1pm here...im lounging and wtching tv..no plans til about 53o tonight

It's a lot easier to catch up when the last page and a half are mainly your own posts

 

[babytrees]

caught up with 25 minutes to spare!!! Guess I better figure out clothes and lunch with the time on my hands.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, oops afternoon, DDA!! Chatty are we? Guess I fell asleep a little too early. Kristi and the kids were here for the evening killing time on a long day with no school, housebound kids (ear infections and coughs) and Dad at work until 9pm. Then, Terra was getting kind of droopy (as her cough gets a little uglier...doctor in our future?) so we crashed early.

Debbie - great pages. I really like the younger photos of Brandon and DD.

Kristine - Sounds like the party was great! Rachel is doing a Mardi Gras theme for hers next weekend.

Deb - Glad the drive home was okay and that the night wasn't as slow as you feared. Hope you got to bowl today.

Theresa - Hope today is better.

Chanon - I really like the new golfball. Much better!

Bernadette - If you can get resale value out of the stroller, I'd say go for it. $4/day for Disney already makes it worth it over a rental. I know that my carrying strap definitely comes in handy when hitting the airport alone with Terra. Not to mention getting boarded on/off the buses at night when she falls asleep before with hit the stop or on the drive back.

Elin - cute card. I've actually got to get off of here because Terra is begging to see it again.

Robyn - 7 months already! Wow, it goes fast. Hope that she starts sleeping better soon.

Catch you all later! Almost everyone is leaving tonight so maybe I'll get a chance to hang around more.

Robyn - There is a Cafe Brazil in Oak Lawn. I've never been to that one. Was it Lucky's where you guys went? It's a diner and does a booming breakfast business. Joe should come to WDW. He would love it! There are a bunch of local (Orlando) guys on the Gay board who are always up for meeting for drinks/dinner with other DISers.

I am trying to do something with DS's iPod. I got it charged, but then the site said there was an update for it. Now the light is blinking meaning it is thinking or loading or something.

I haven't heard from DH today. He had a bunch of stuff to tear down at WalMart because the store manager wanted all these displays around the store. Her boss came in and said to take them all down. That is the kind of petty garbage that goes on all the time. Like he doesn't have anything better to do the day before the Super Bowl? They could have left the displays up until Monday. What else could they put in that space that will outsell chips? Boneheads.
