Bean and Bacon Soup
Bean and Bacon Soup
Serves 4
6 slices chopped bacon
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 cans (15oz) white beans
salt and pepper to taste
Chop bacon. In stock pot, heat olive oil and cook bacon until crispy.
While bacon is cooking, chop onions, carrots and celery.
Grab your chicken or vegetable broth and cans of white beans. I used Organic Chicken broth and Great Northern Beans (my supermarket did not have white beans).
When bacon is finished cooking, remove with slotted spoon to paper towel lined plate.
To your stock pot, add your vegetables and cook until tender and onion is translucent, approximately 5-10 minutes.
Add the broth and beans and bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.
Using either a potato masher or a hand blender, mash up the beans, leaving it so the soup is still chunky.
When ready to serve, add back the bacon and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Enjoy!!!

National Quilting Day
Today is National Quilting Day!!! Every year on the third Saturday in March, people all around the country celebrate National Quilting Day. If there is a quilt show in your area, why not take some time to see some amazing creations? Or, perhaps you have a QIP (quilt in progress) that needs to be pulled out and worked on. Maybe you've seen something in a pattern magazine or online and can't wait to get started. Well, today is a good day to get out, get stitching or stop itching :-)

'HOPE outweighs fear....' by NoJumbledDucks
... we are going through major struggles, as many are, and I wanted to reassure that when fear closes in, HOPE will outweigh the fear, if we just trust and believe.
