Fun Bag Tutorial

I love this tutorial and have used it several times, especially around Christmas time for presents. This picture is of all the bags I made for family members. It may be hard to see, but it has a drawstring closure in the middle and is lined on the inside. I'm actually going to make me one and use it for my scriptures because its the perfect size to hold them.

Anyways... Here it is: http://ayumills.blogspot.com/2010/08/tutorial-lunch-bag.html

Have fun!

Broccoli Wild Rice Soup - Easy and Fast Dinner

 This soup is soo easy and fast! It's perfect for days that you don't feel like cooking. It's also VERY affordable. It makes 8 servings for approximately $5.00 (based on Walmart prices). Since we only have three people to feed. I plan on freezing the leftovers for another night. Go on. Try it!

1 package (6 oz) chicken and wild rice mix
5 cups water
3 cups chopped broccoli
1 medium carrot, shredded
2 tsp dried minced onion
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, cubed
1/4 cup slivered almonds, optional

*NOTE*
I didn't consider the cost of the carrot, onion or almonds. I already had a carrot, I prefer to use onion powder instead of dried onion and we prefer this recipe without the almonds. I also chopped my carrot instead of shredding it. : )

Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine rice, contents of seasoning packet and water; bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring once.
3. Stir in broccoli and carrot and onion.
4. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Stir in soup and cream cheese.
6. Cook and stir until cream cheese is melted.
7. Stir in almonds, if desired.

8 servings (about 2 quarts)
