Soup, Applesauce and Beans

This was a stay around home weekend but I think there were some fun parts. Sam had the joy of harvesting a little from his late planted green bean plant. That was the extent of our garden this year. Too bad he doesn't like green beans. I don't even recall where he came home with it, school, church? He also informed me that he is going to own a green bean farm when he grows up.

Today also marked the return of Dan's Soup Saturday. Today was September's soup of the month Bountiful Chicken Noodle. I dare say that he could completely make this one on his own now. There are many steps but when you break it down it's not too bad and the end result is worth it. Thanks to all of those who purchased and hopefully enjoyed the soup. Next up in October is Creamy Tomato Basil. Dan is most excited for November because his favorite is Chunky Beef Stew.

We also couldn't stay out of the kitchen long and made applesauce with our friend Becca. We used apples that we picked last week, with Becca & her husband Steve. Sam had the best time turning the crank to peel the apples. I tried to race him by using a corer slicer and then slicing off the peels. He always won but sometimes it was close. I think we will definitely be investing in one sometime soon. I've looked at them for years but could never justify it. If it adds some level of excitement about it for the kids then there you go! Thanks to Becca for bringing it and making it a fun afternoon.
