SNOW and a Soup to Warm You Up!


It's still snowing and we are loving it!
Well, the kids and I are.
Not so sure my husband is so happy to be back to work and having to deal with the road hassles though.

Three of us still have nasty head colds so we've all been staying indoors.
Which means NO snow play this time. :(
But it's still pretty to watch. It's a light and fluffy snow that looks like glitter floating in the sky at night time. Very pretty!
Schools are cancelled again tomorrow so the kids are getting an extended holiday vacation and loving every minute of it.
LET IT SNOW....LET IT SNOW....LET IT SNOW!

If you are outside and need a warm up after being outdoors in all that white stuff then here's a recipe for you. My cousin gave me this one over the holidays and it was really good.
Sorry I have no picture for you. I took one but it didn't turn out. It was too blurry to even see!


Stuffed Cabbage Soup


2 lbs. ground beef
2 large onions, chopped
3 lbs. cabbage, chopped
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
14 oz. beef broth
2 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste
2 large cans tomato sauce
1 large can diced tomatoes
2 large cans of water(use the tomato sauce cans)
1/2 - 3/4 cups white rice

Brown beef and onions together and drain well.
Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer till cabbage and rice are done. This recipe makes a huge batch (our family of 5 could eat this for two days) so you may want to cut it in half or even more.

Hope this warms you on these cold winter days!

Always like to see your recipes. I had soup tonight, too. A Senegalese Chicken soup that was great. I need to see if I can find a recipe on-line.

Thanks - we're going to try this one. Hubby loves cabbage - I usually just steam it for him... Stay warm and shake those colds :)

We ate on our New Year's cabbage for 2 or 3 days, it was so good the way my husband makes it. This soup sounds delicious. I'd have to make something else for my youngest son, tho, he wouldn't eat it. Don't you hate it when you have to cook different things for different people.
