Monday to do list and muffins

Good Monday to everyone! The first snowfall of the season came yesterday.  Thankfully our roads did not get bad and today's sunshine is melting that 2 inches of snow so fast.


I wrote out such a long list for the week last Monday that I didn't get it finished until Sunday.
So,  I wrote out a much shorter list week and I've already finished it, except to hem those pants. 
With my list done,  whatever will I find to do to stay busy?  Ha!  Even if my list is done,  I've always got a craft project going or some cooking to do or something
I've never bored at home,  are you? 


In the kitchen, a carton of sour cream needed to be used up so I baked a batch of Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Muffins (I first posted this recipe on my first blog, so long ago!)
There were also 2 very ripe bananas so I used them in  my banana bread recipe and  baked that dough in muffin pans too. That recipe calls for 3-4 bananas but it worked just fine with 2.
 Both recipes made a dozen regular size muffins and 10-12 mini muffins. I know my grands will enjoy snacking on these mini muffins.

CheeseBurger Soup recipe review



Julie, a non-blogging internet friend, said she had just made this soup. It sounded good and I had all the ingredients so I made a batch for our lunch today.

Julie was right - cheeseburger soup is delicious and perfect for a chilly day like today. 

Soup recipes are flexible and I made a few changes. I used 3 cans of beef broth instead of the chicken broth, Decreased the herbs to just one quarter teaspoon each and used Gouda cheese instead of Velveeta,  oh, and I didn't add the sour cream at the end either.


And obviously I am not a professional photographer,, but trust me, cheeseburger soup tastes way better than it looks in this photo😄
