Monday was soup day

I spent some time on Monday to make two soups for our meals this week. One in the crock pot and one on the stove top.

The crock pot recipe came from 100 Days of Real Food and turned out delicious! I gave a small portion to taste test to Dolores and she ended up having it for lunch.

The soup was easy to make and is a keeper recipe! You can find the recipe here

The second soup was our family standard: Venus de Milo. I have posted the recipe here before and you can find those links here

Digging into the archives

Already October hence Christmas must be around the corner, right?

Not really attempting to rush it but wanted to share these priceless photos from the archives that my sister found and shared with us. Photos mostly of my mother as she was growing up. Most of which I don't recall ever seeing before.
