It's another "sick day" for us . . . school continues to be out. The 3 oldest have sore throats and sporadic fevers. The doc determined it was viral, not strep. So we're waiting it out with Motrin & Tylenol as needed.
We did make some hot chocolate mix today. This is the best hot chocolate EVER! Here's the recipe:
HOT CHOCOLATE MIX
3 2/3 c. Nestle Quick
10 2/3 c. dry milk
3 3/4 c. powdered sugar
4 2/3 c. dry coffee mate
Heaping 1/3 c. mix to one coffee cup hot water. Top with marshmallows (of course) and enjoy!
Tonight, by special request, we're having chicken and dumplings. It is very good. But I'm looking forward to potato soup. Last year I trial and errored until I came up with this recipe. It is very good.
POTATO SOUP
1/2 onion chopped very well
1 clove garlic minced
6 c. chicken stock (can use broth if no stock)
2 T. butter
2 T. flour
diced potatoes to desired amount (depends on the size of your pot!)
salt
pepper
chopped baby spinach leaves (to desired amount)
2 c. half and half
Cook onion, garlic, butter and potatoes with salt and pepper in stock until done. Take some stock out, add 2 T. flour to it and then add back in. Add chopped spinach and cook a little longer. Add 1/2 & 1/2 at the very end and serve.
Nothing about either of these recipes is low in calories, but oh, are they tasty! Enjoy!
