Today I am thankful for unexpected family dinners. Matt and I made plans earlier this week to make something today that could simmer on the stove or bake in the oven for awhile while we prepared for trick or treaters and decided today to go with baked potato soup. I stole a recipe from one of my favorite food blogs - Playing House Blog - and it did not disappoint! For a "light" recipe it was incredibly rich and filling. My mom and sister joined us after we realized they would both be sitting at home alone on Halloween. They both said that they never would have guessed the recipe was the "light" version until we told them. We made it even more "light" than the recipe called for as we purchase 1% milk.
Sarah brought bread, hummus, cheese and crackers and we had soup and salad - a great Halloween night dinner. And it was a great opportunity for some fun family time - all arranged after noon today.
