Halloween Prep and Your Friday Soup Recipe

Check out this cute craft that I will be attempting!

I found it over at 11 Magnolia Lane. LOVE their blog! Tons of great ideas for your home!

So cute and it looks pretty easy...right?!

Here is their photo of some of the supplies they uses. To make it even easier I'm going to pick up a white Paint pen.

First step to sand and paint wood. 

They are so brilliant, then they added a little eye hook to the top for the ribbon. 

SO CUTE!!!

She also has another GREAT idea with this project. I will for sure be attempting this as well. My kids have gotten to the age where the neighbor kids are always knocking on the door! I wonder if this would work...

I told you, you would LOVE their ideas.

Zuppa Toscana

From the kitchen of SteakNPotatoesKindaGurl

1. 4 slices bacon, diced
2. 1 lb ground hot Italian sausage
3. 1 large yellow onion, diced
4. 4 cloves garlic, minced
5. 4 cups (32 oz) chicken stock
6. 3 cups russet potatoes, cubed
7. 3/4 tsp sea salt
8. 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
9. 2 cups kale, in bite size pieces
10. 1 cup heavy whipping cream
11. parmesan cheese, grated

In a large pot, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain the grease. Add the sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once sausage is browned and crumbled, drain off grease leaving a tbsp to saute the onion.

Push the sausage and bacon to the edge of the pot and add the onion to the center; saute until translucent; add garlic; saute until fragrant.

Stir in the stock and potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Add kale and heavy whipping cream. Bring to a simmer. Top with parmesan cheese, when serving.
