No Lima Beans Here

No Lima Beans in Here…

Veggie Soup—Mine

The first time I made this someone asked where the lima beans were… Well, you ain’t gonna find them in my soup… Just ask my parents… I will go to any means to not eat those little creatures…

Soup, especially vegetable soup should consist of veggies you like anyway-- And the simpler the better. There is such thing as too much of a good thing. Pick a few of your favorite veggies.

Fresh or frozen—NO canned stuff unless it's home canned; well ok the tomatoes are a go.

And men, this doesn’t call for beer and hooters sauce. Yes, I did say favorite but if you are serving the ladies, come on.

So here we go:

Veggie Soup minus the Lima Beans
(Did I mention I don’t really measure?)

Lean ground turkey (hmmm guess it's not veggie soup any longer)
Beef broth – couple large containers
Diced tomatoes- several large cans
Rotele tomatoes – 2 cans
Red potatoes – diced
White shoe peg corn
Italian green beans
Mushrooms
Onion
Jalapeño pepper

Cook your meat and onions until brown – then throw it in a large pot to simmer with the rest of your ingredients for several hours or the day…

wow that was easy!!

I made this pot of soup today for my husband’s secretary at her request. We are kindred spirits in many ways. So here’s to you Kelli girl.

Cheesecake Recipe / Thrive

Cheesecake recipe for Thrivers

1 tbs fiber
2 scoops vanilla syntha 6 powder
2 cups splenda
6 (8oz) 1/3 less fat cream cheese
2 eggs
2 egg yokes (go figure)

throw this in your mixer and let it go... now you can use a spring form pan or regular pie pan... spray the bajezzies out of the pan...with the good ol' nonfat spray of your choice... probably wouldn't want to use the garlic flavor tho'... now you are ready to dump the ingredients into the pan.

now.. did I mention preheating the oven to 325 ? yea, this is usually how I cook too.. I forget!!

throw this pie into the oven... and btw...you should always lick the spoon....;)

cook for 1hr and 15 minutes... this will be perfect....
