If you wonder why I left.....

This is actually awesome, but kind of proves a point that there is not much to do in Cheney.

Soups On!

Tonight I made my Mom's Minestrone soup - so warm, fairly healthy, and delicious!

Mom's Minestrone

Ingredients
2 cups carrots, chopped
2 cups zucchini, chopped
1 head green cabbage, shredded
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 links Italian Sausage (I used chicken sausage)
2 - 28oz cans stewed tomatoes
Small Pasta, like orzo 
Black Olives
Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper

In a large pot, brown and thoroughly cook sausage in olive oil. Remove from pan; saute carrots, zucchini, cabbage, onion, and garlic in sausage drippings until onions are translucent, season with salt and pepper. Add sausage back to pot, add tomatoes and cook for at least 1 hour. If soup is really thick add wine, water or chicken stock to thin. Add pasta 20 minutes before serving, and then olives at the last minute. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. (I added a Parmesan Rhine to the soup while cooking instead).

Enjoy!

Here are a couple of things that made me smile this week :-)

White Sale

A new year means a fresh start. And with all stores having MAJOR sales on linens, where better to start than the bedroom? I've started with new sheets, duvet cover, PILLOWS, and lampshades. I still intend on hanging up some eggplant drapes, recovering Stella's bed to match, and framing some wedding photos. Here is the progress so far (unfortunately I don't have any "before" photos).

Cheers!
