Sausage and Potato Soup

My husband doesn’t care for soup, but all of the kids love it. So I decided on this one for dinner.

I followed Baking Mischief’s recipe… doubled it and added more potatoes and smashed them to make it a little less soupy (since husband doesn’t like soup).

I added a link to her pin that I found on Pinterest for this recipe as well as a link to her fabulous blog that you should definitely check out.

Click her link, her pin link or scroll down to find a copy of her recipe from her site.. Happy Soup Season ♥️

Ingredient Notes

  • About 2 russet potatoes: The recipe calls for 3½ cups of potatoes. This is about 2 medium-to-large russet potatoes. If you end up with a bit more than the 3½ cups
    called for, feel free to use them. Your soup will just be extra thick. (I used red potatoes and actually about 10 of them)
  • Smoked sausage: You can usually find smoked sausage in the deli meat and cheese aisle near the hot dogs. Any type of smoked sausage or kielbasa should work, including
    chicken/turkey smoked sausage, but I prefer a beef/pork blend. Rather than slicing the sausage into rounds, for this recipe, we’ll dice it into small chunks so you get sausage in every bite of the soup. (I used skinless and 3 packages)
  • Chicken broth: You can use homemade chicken stock if you have it, but this soup is just as fantastic with the canned stuff. (I use the cubes)
  • Butter and all-purpose flour: This soup is thickened with a roux made of butter and flour.
  • Milk and cheddar cheese: Adding milk and cheese to the roux creates a thick and glorious cheese sauce that gets stirred into the soup. Use whatever percentage milk you have on hand. The higher fat, the richer the soup will be. I also recommend grating your own cheese rather than using pre-shredded bagged cheese because the anti-clumping additives added to bagged cheese can prevent it from melting completely smooth.

Creating Pinterest Pins using Canva

I am entirely new to the whole idea of creating passive income using a blogg, but wanted to really push myself to be active and make it work. One of the first steps that most bloggers use is Pinterest so after a lot of research and notes I decided to go ahead and start creating some Pinterest pins to drive traffic to my blogg and help other families create the passive income that would help their households as well.

The process was not hard at all and it was actually a little bit of fun. Here is another example of one that I created along with with three things I tried to make sure that each of these included.

  • Bright and vibrant
  • Simple wording
  • Catchy background / graphic

Busy Mama Meals

If your family is anything like mine, your children are hungry and the amount of time you have to prepare dinner for them before they turn in to raging monsters is very little. I got stuck feeling like I only had about three go to meals to prepare when I was in a rush so I leaned towards PINTEREST for a little help. To my suprise there were tonnnnss so I created a board and over the next few weeks I am going to cook meals that come straight from my “Busy Mama Meals” board and post our reviews on here. Follow along for great ideas that may suit your family as well.

Some super cute bulletin board ideas ♥️


“We’ll be there for you”

I placed all of our teachers, paraprofessional and janitorial staff in different colored boxes that coordinate with the theme colors. Our two principals in the yellow frames and it came out super cute. The font I used was Gabriel Weiss and can be found on http://www.dafont.com
“TEAM UP AGAINST DRUGS”

Next week we are having our district wide FALL FESTIVAL and our campus is hosting. The following week we are celebrating Red Ribbon week so I attempted to combine the two and redo the bulletin boards around the school.
