Yummy soup!

My friend Missy gave me this recipe for potato soup & it's so yummy I had to share!

Baked Potato Soup

6 potatoes (or 4 large potatoes)
8oz sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 cups milk
1 1/2 sticks butter
2/3 cup all purpose flour
salt & pepper to taste
Green onions & bacon pieces (optional)

Bake your potatoes at 400 for 1 hour or until done. (I didn't scrub them or wrap them... just stuck em in a pan & put em in de oven)
Let cool.

In a large pot on medium heat melt the butter. Add flour, stir well & cook for about 1 min. Then add the milk. Let cook, stirring frequently until mixture is bubbly & it thickens. Turn heat to low and add cheese, sour cream, salt & pepper. Scoop out the insides of the baked potatoes & add to mixture. Stir frequently until heated through.

Garnish with green onions & crumbled bacon pieces if desired.

***Now, here's the problem... I'm not sure which Meagan it is... is it "Mee-gan" or "Meg-an"? Two friends with the same spelling but pronounced differently and I'm not sure which of you registered. So please let me know which of my lovely Meagans is the grand winner!

Boys will be boys

Sunday afternoon I woke up from my nap to discover two giggly little boys that were very anxious to show me what they discovered...

I guess they got a little sidetracked while raking and blowing the leaves. Boys will be boys...doing silly stuff like this. But it's really funny!

Winner announced....
