View from our hotel room.  The snow kept us from venturing out into Albany to explore the city.  But we did venture out to Chilis for dinner a couple nights.  This was the first time we had ever been there.

Something fun to share...

Matt and I are pretty certain of where God wants us to serve in full-time ministry.  I'll share more in a few months.

Our church and the AWANA program we are starting.

2 Timothy 2:15

January 2012 Soup Swap~~Alphabet Soup

My kids have always loved Alphabet Soup.  We are trying to do a way with "Convince" foods.  So I started searching for a recipe for our kids favorite soup.  After finding a few, changing this and that, I came up with this one. 

HEY Milk & Honey Mommy....no meat in this one!!  Well unless you count the bouillon cube.

Alphabet Soup

3 beef bouillon cubes

3 cups of hot water

1 bottle of V-8 juice

1 bag of mixed veggies...I used a large bag

8 ounces of uncooked alphabet pasta

6 cups water

salt and pepper (optional)

Dissolve bouillon cubes in hot water.  Place all ingredients in your normal soup pan.   Add bouillon and water mixture.  Simmer for 20 minutes or until the pasta is done.

This soup is almost as quick to make as it is to open the can and heat up.  You can add so much to this soup!  YUM!!

I'm linking up once again for Soup Swap.  You can go on over to Milk & Honey Mommy to join in.
