Autumn Chowder

September 27, 2010 by Aliesha

This soup is one of my favorite meals ANY time of year, but especially in the fall! It is a recipe that my mom passed on to me and she still makes regularly as well. It is quite delicious!

Autumn Chowder

Author: Aliesha @ Feathers in Our Nest

Recipe type: Soup

Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

1 small onion, finely chopped
3-4 stalks celery, chopped up (optional)
1-2 Tbsp. butter
4-6 potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 can evaporated milk
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
½ lb. bacon, fried and crumbled OR diced ham
1 cup corn (I used frozen)
1 can cheddar cheese soup

Instructions

Saute onion and celery in butter.
In a large soup pot, begin cooking potatoes in water (1/3 to ½ pot full of water).
Add celery, onion, and salt and pepper to taste.
As potatoes become done, add evaporated milk, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, bacon (or ham), and corn.
Simmer for one hour but do not boil. Add cheddar cheese soup and continue heating.
You may add water if soup becomes too thick.
If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

This recipe freezes well!

Great served with buttermilk biscuits! I’ll post the recipe for those tomorrow.

Enjoy!

I hope my sweet mother-in-law does not mind me posting her recipe for this delicious apple dessert! She posted it on her blog earlier this week. It is so easy to throw together (even while babywearing!) and is also delicious for breakfast. I’m not going to tell you how I know that…

Tad’s mom is a great cook and she makes so many healthy recipes. I’m not sure, but I’m thinking this one might not fit in the “healthy” category, though. 🙂

Apple Crunch

Granny Smith apples (I used three large)
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp. cold butter
1 beaten egg
cinnamon
nutmeg

Lightly grease the bottom and sides of an 8×8″ baking dish. Peel and slice enough Granny Smith apples to fill the bottom of the baking dish. In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Cut in the butter. Add the egg and mix until moistened. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples. Shake on some cinnamon (and I added nutmeg too) to taste. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. This recipe can be doubled to fit a 13×9″ dish.

This is GREAT served with a cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee! Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

September 15, 2010 by Aliesha

This is a wonderful cookie recipe that our family has enjoyed for years! I like to keep a batch of dough in the fridge and make a dozen cookies when we want some… since they’re the best when they are warm out of the oven! They also are good once they have cooled since they stay chewy.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup and 1/3 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Beat together all ingredients except for flour and chocolate chips. Mixture will be smooth and creamy and very light in color. Then, add the flour and the chocolate chips and mix well. Form into balls. Refrigerate dough balls that you are not baking right away. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
Enjoy!
