Broccoli cheese soup

What a time.  Our house isn’t ready yet,  but they are saying that it’ll be ready now in February. Honestly,  it makes me so bummed.  I miss my stuff,  but it’s all packed up.

It’s getting cold here,  so I decided to make some nice yummy soup. All the kids loved  it. They ate several bowls.

Its really not a precise recipe,  I’ll do my best to give you what I used. Next time im going to use some onion!

Approximately 4 cups broccoli

4 cups chicken broth

2 tablespoons garlic

2 cups Heavy cream

4 oz velveeta cheese

16 oz cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Saute garlic in a pot. Add broccoli and chicken broth.  Make sure broccoli is covered.  Cook until broccoli is tender.  Add cream.  Melt in cheeses and add salt and pepper.

Yum!

Roasted Turkey Tenderloin

It’s full out packing time here. We move in just a few days. Our new home isn’t even close to ready yet. I don’t know how long we’re going to be between houses….and still no word what’s happening with buyers. This process is for the birds. If I EVER move again, I will not be willing to sell our house until we’ve successfully purchased another house. There’s just no way. It doesn’t need to be so complicated, but yet it is.

I’ve packed up most everything I could possibly live without. I’ve sold furniture that I don’t plan to take with us to our new house. Today I sold my antique buffet table. I was SO sad to see it go, but I know I can’t keep it. I just wont have room for it. It’s going to be ok. That’s what I keep telling myself…and hoping I’m not going to go crazy!

2 Large Turkey Tenderloins

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, quartered

Rosemary Sprigs

1 cup butter

cracked pepper and salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1/2 tablespoon rosemary

1/2 tablespoon oregano

1/2 tablespoon parsley

2 teaspoons onion powder

1/4 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper

Have oven rack set on the lowest position. Preheat oven to 450. In a bowl, combine butter, salt and pepper to taste, olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, oregano, parsley, onion powder, red pepper. If your turkey has skin put under the skin. My tenderloin does not so I rubbed all over turkey. Place turkey in a roasting pan with onion, garlic, and rosemary around turkey. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Place foil over the pan. Reduce oven to 350 and return to oven. Done when reaches 161 degrees.

Michael’s Tri-tip Steak

Hubby made this recipe. It’s my favorite!

We’ve been waiting for everything to get worked out for our move. The biggest issue is it’s been since May and they’ve not finished making changes to the land that we wanted. It’s really frustrating because there’s going to be a few weeks lapse where we basically have no home of our own. I find that frustrating because I HATE staying with relatives. It’s been something I have always hated to do for as long as I can recall. This is leaving me pretty grumpy. I think we all prefer things to be our own way in our homes. I like things the way I like them. Who can help that? Hubby keeps saying we should do a short term rental since we have two additional children currently. I just really don’t want to spend that kind of money though. I’d just prefer to save it for things we need in our new home. We have about two weeks until we have to be out of our current home, so we’ll see if we can get the new buyers to give us two extra weeks. I doubt it because they’ve already given us an extra month. This just sucks honestly. Hopefully, the buyers of our current house will be willing to help us out, even more than they really have to. My hubby has such a good attitude about it. I wish I could be more like him!

Review: Stouffer’s Seasoning Wraps

I was feeling pretty weary about these. I had to try it. Then when I got home I realized you don’t bake it. Instead you put them the middle of the parchment and just put it in the frying pan. Crazy enough, it’s on the front of the pack. I didn’t even see it. It was pretty good though. We enjoyed it. The boys have asked me to buy it again. I’m going to try it again with some type of seasoned rice. I think it’ll be really good with it. I will be buying this again and I’ll definitely try some of the other flavors. I recommend this product. It’s super good.
