Sherry’s Gazpacho soup

Sherry is my mother in law and she makes the best gazpacho soup! I never thought I would like a cold vegetable soup, but this is delicious and very healthy….so I thought I would share the recipe with all of you πŸ™‚

Gazpacho Soup

3 c. ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 Tbsp. dried onion flakes
ΒΌ c. soup stock
2 c. cucumbers,* peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
Β½ green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
3 green onions, sliced
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1Β½ – 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
4 tsp. Bragg Liquid Aminos, or lite soy sauce
1Β½ tsp. dill weed
1Β½ tsp. herb seasoning

Place 1Β½ c. tomatoes, onion flakes, and soup stock in food processor or blender and puree. Place in large bowl. Add remaining vegetables and other ingredients and stir well. Cover and chill. Do not heat – this soup is served cold. Garnish each bowl with a few parsley flakes, if desired.

Fun with the scanner

I am having a lot of fun going through old pictures and scanning them…some of them are hilarious and others are just nice to have on the computer. I did love my care bears ya’ll!
Birthday-matching dresses, but different colors of course!

Awe-BFF! Love that sofa….don’t you?

This was my FIRST baby, my kitty kitty Holly. I miss that cat sometimes!

Santa we were good this year! Barbie dream house please!

We did some more house hunting today and found a couple that we really liked! I can’t wait to get a move on and start getting settled into a home. I guess it happens when you get pregnant and you just want a “home” to raise your family in. I just cut my coupons and we have to go grocery shopping for the week. My doctor told me to “cut back on the carbs sweetheart”. I was like “what???” Apparently I am gaining a little to much poundage…I swear it is all in the boobs! LOL! I wish!

No pictures :(

No pictures at today’s appointment! I was so upset..I wanted to see the baby! We did hear the heartbeat and it was strong. I thought since Bon has had pictures with all her baby visits I would too…I guess each doctor is different. So I won’t get any pictures until 19 weeks when I go find out what I am having. Way to make a person wait huh? I go back in four weeks for the genetic testing and pray that all is well! Praise God for this baby πŸ™‚

Sickness…tiredness..and all..it makes it all worth it in the end….

Weekend with friends

We had a great visit with Kristin, Brayden, and Abby. We miss them so much! Terence and I just love those kids to death and wish we could see them all the time! Here are a few pictures of our weekend together…I am horrible….I didn’t get ANY of me and Kristin together! poo! Maybe next time…..
