Loaded Baked Potato Soup
I found this recipe at Cookinglight.com,and changed it a little... it would be somewhat healthy if it wasn't for all the cheese and bacon...
Ingredients
Usually I double this so I have left overs for Stephen and I!
* 4 (6-ounce) red potatoes
* 2 teaspoons olive oil
* 1/2 cup prechopped onion
* 1 1/4 cups fat-free lower-sodium chicken broth
* 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 2 cups 1% low-fat milk divided
* 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 3 bacon slices halved
* 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
* 4 teaspoons thinly sliced green onions
Directions
Cube potatoes and then boil until they are fork tender
While potatoes cook, heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 3 minutes. Add broth. Combine flour and 1/2 cup milk; add to pan with 1 1/2 cups milk. Bring to a boil; stir often. Cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream, salt, and pepper.
Use an immersion blender and blend until smooth. Top with cheese, green onions, and bacon.

Scrappy Time!
I even managed to get some scrapping in this weekend!
I did this for a challenge where I had to journal about something "I remember..." journaling says..."…how much Grandma from California LOVED Penny!!! Whenever she would come stay with us, they would start their day by sharing a banana. They spent the day together lounging around watching shows like “Murder She Wrote”. When Grandma would go back home, Penny would wait by the basement door still for her to come upstairs!"
This one is a sketch challenge Kim posted for me...
I got a new table and chair....it is so much easier to scrap in there now, loveeee it!
