The Magic of a Snowy Day!!


The Magic of Snow......

Don't you just love snow.... snowflakes, snowballs, snowmen....It's all made with wonderful snow.
I spent the day home in "Snow Hibernation". I baked cinnamon rolls and then gave pans to all my neighbors.



What could be better than warm cinnamon rolls on a cold snowy day???
For Dinner I made Navy Bean Soup and Cornbread. Just hit the spot on a cold wintery evening.

Navy Bean Soup

Ingredients:
1 lb navy beans, washed and soaked overnight.
2 stalks celery minced
1 onion minced
2 carrots minced
2 quarts chicken broth

Method:
1. Drain the water off of the beans from the soaking.

2. Dice an onion.


3. Mince the carrots and celery.


4. Saute the celery, onions and celery in 2 TBSP of Olive Oil


5. When the veggies are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Add the beans to the veggies


7. Mix the beans and the veggies together in the soup pot.


8. Add 2 quarts of chicken stock to the beanpot.


Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook on simmer for 1 1/2 to two hours.
Serve with cornbread and a green salad for a warm, comforting, filling meal on a cold snowy evening.

Happy Trails,
