Food Storage Recipe - Crockpot Potato Soup

This is a great recipe for a cold Sunday. Set it before you go to Church! Dinner waiting for you.


Crockpot potato soup

NEED:

7 Idaho potatoes

3 small baby onions

4 stalk celery


2 cups chicken stock

2 cups milk

2 cups Heavy Cream

1 Tbsp Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning

Salt and white pepper to taste

Peel the potatoes, wash and put in a bowl of water. Cut up the onions and celery. For this recipe, I used 3 small baby onions, but 1 large one will be okay. Cut the potatoes into 1 inch pieces and add to Crockpot. Add in the cut vegetables. I had some reserved chicken stock and poured it over the vegetables in the Crockpot. Add in 2 cups milk and 2 cups regular heavy cream or half and half is okay. Season with garlic and herb seasoning, salt and white pepper; cover and slow cook on low for about 6 hours or until the vegetables are fork tender. Serve hot with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side.

Never Ending Dryer Sheets

This is such a cool idea and a money saver.


I seen this on Facebook. Not sure who originally posted it or whose idea it is.

~~NEVER ENDING DRYER SHEETS~~

WHAT YOU NEED:

 1 Container with an airtight lid (grabbed out of my pantry)

 4 SPONGES cut in half ($1.00 for a 4pk at the dollar store)

1 cup of your favorite fabric softener ($0.30 worth of fabric softener)

 2 cups water (free from my tap)

 WHAT TO DO: Mix the water and fabric softener into a plastic container. Add the cut SPONGES so they can soak in the mixture. When ready to use, squeeze the excess liquid from 1 sponge and place into the dryer with your wet clothes. Run the dryer cycle as normal. Once complete place the now dry sponge back into the container of liquid for use next time. Clothes smell good, are soft and have no static just like the expensive non-reusable dryer sheets.
