I thought these were the cutest things ever, definitly worthy enough to blog about!!!!! hahaha! When my mom was here we found these baby crocs so so cute! They actually stay on her feet too! And if you had a baby with fat feet they are definitly wide enough!!
admiring her new shoes. They make great chew toys too!!!
just walking around the furniture, it's what she does best!
Being Cute! Her other thing she does best! (maybe even better!!!!)
Okay, so I have promised at least one person I would post this recipe, so here it is!
Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana
1 1/2 cups sausage links, spicy, about 12 links (I just used the regular spicy ground sausage)
3/4 cup diced onions
6 slices bacon
1 1/4 teaspoons minced garlic
2 Tbl. chicken stock
1 quart water
2 medium potatoes, cut in half and then into 1/4 slices. (I always added more potatoes...)
2 cups Kale, cut in half and then sliced
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
directions: preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place sausage links onto a sheet pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until done; cut into half lengthwise, then cute at an angle into 1/2 inch slices.
Place onions and bacon in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until onions are almost clear. add garlic and cook an additional 1 minute. add chicken base, water, and potatoes, simmer 15 minutes. add sausage, kale and cream. simmer 4 minutes and serve.
(If you use ground sausage I just cooked it while the soup was simmering for the 15 minutes, also the bacon usually takes longer to cook than the onions to get clear, so I cooked the bacon until it was done, then cooked up the onions in a little bit of the bacon grease and then crumbled the bacon back in with the onions and garlic and went from there.)
This is super super yummy, and tastes almost as good as the real deal. I always serve with garlic breadsticks and a little grated cheese on top, usually monteray jack because that is what we always have in the fridge!!! super easy, super yummy, ENJOY!

I love the pictures of Cambree and her shoes. She is just so cute! It's been fun getting to know your family!
This is the same recipe that I use. Did you get it from allrecipes.com? Randy and I love it, but we use frozen spanich (unstead of the kayle) because that's what we always have on hand. If you do use the spanich, make sure that you thaw it out first and make sure it is dry. DO NOT use canned spanich, very bad idea. It will turn your soup green (good for St. Patricks day ) Also make sure you drain ALL of the grease from the sausage (I also use ground sausage rather that the links. I think it comes out more like Olive Garden's when you use the ground sausage.) It's cool how we both found the same recipe. I might make it tonight. I like how it doesn't take that long to make either.
Yes Capri, Canned spinach is bad no matter what, just the sound of it makes me gag!!!! And yeah, I did drain my sausage, I even rinsed it a little, because the orange film on the top is pretty gross!! (my sis made it before me and gave me a few pointers!!)
that was me, Tiffany! (to lazy to sign in I guess!)
