So many surprise recipes! Needed more than I originally thought. Check out the blog next week to read about everything I ended up making over the next few days.

  • Cavatappi pasta
  • Half gallon whole milk
  • Unsalted butter (if on sale)
  • 12 ounces Gruyere cheese
  • 8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar
  • Buttermilk
  • Eggs
  • 1 package cream cheese
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • Nabisco vanilla wafers OR Ginger Snaps
  • 5-6 large bananas

I finished the cutting prep for tonight’s soup! I’m glad I save the time now, so I’m not freaking out later. I can’t want to share recipe with you all next week. Now, I can start baking cookies. I can almost smell them already.

I store my chopped vegetables in a bag for simple storage and easy clean up when it comes time to make the soup. These ingredients will all go into the soup at the same time, so one bag is all I needed. Otherwise, I would divide the ingredients by when they are added to the pot.
