Adventures in Pinland {Best Potato Soup}

 

This weeks Adventures in Pinland post is a day late but I’m glad I got it up at all! I went to post it and the original source of the pin was gone. I knew I had been to the sight before, but couldn’t find it for the life of me. Long story short the blog owners webpage had expired (unknown to her) and was swiped out from under her. How awful would that be!? Anyway I finally found it and repinned it from the new sight, so we should be good!

I was looking for a yummy warm soup when the temps started to drop and came across this one. It looked delicious, had basic ingredients, and how can you go wrong with a title like that?

 

 

I would give it two thumbs up! It’s pretty easy to make (there’s a bit of chopping involved, but there is in most recipes) and even my picky eaters ate it. Even as I’m typing now, my picky guy came up and said, “is that the one with bacon in it?” … “It’s so good!” Guess I best be making it again soon!

The only thing I would change is to either chop the potatoes a little smaller or cook them a little longer before adding in. They were cooked but still had a little bite to them. I guess I just like my potatoes a little softer and it all depends on personal preference.

For the recipe head to Tips From a Typical Mom and let me know what ya think!

Adventures in Pinland {Applesauce Cookies}

 

I have been looking for a recipe like this one for awhile. The hubby’s Grandma Bonnie makes the most delicious cookie that the kids beg for and I thought it would be fun to find something similar to hers and see if it still passed the kid test. So when I saw these Applesauce Cookies with Caramel Frosting on Pinterest, I knew they were the ones!

They were pretty simple, made a LOT, and made the house smell divine … just like it should smell in the fall! The true test came when the kids got home from school, and I have to say these cookies passed with flying colors! It actually surprised me a bit how much they liked them because they have cinnamon and clove in them, which usually aren’t the fav around here. My little G even said these were the best cookies he has ever had! (And he is my picky, I don’t like ANYTHING kid!)

 

 

Give them a try, I promise you won’t regret it! Since the recipe isn’t mine, I won’t post it here but jump over to Chef in Training for all the goods. I know I will be scouring it for more delicious recipes! Have a great Monday!
