Mock Homemade tomato soup


It's starting to get cooler and cooler in the evenings so I thought what better way to kick off Fall than a yummy easy to make tomato soup. Sure you could easily make an instant can but nothing beats that home cooked flavor.



What you'll need:

1 jar of Vodka tomato sauce
Water
1/2 Cup of Whole Milk
3 Tablespoons of Sour Cream
1 hidden valley ranch packet
Garlic and Onion Powder seasonings
Ground Pepper

What to do:

  1. turn stove top to a medium heat
  2. in a saucepan pour jar of sauce
  3. Fill empty jar three quarters of the way with water and pour into sauce
  4. Pour 1/2 cup of whole milk in sauce mixture
  5. Add Sour cream
  6. Put packet of Ranch along with about 2 Tablespoons of onion powder and garlic powder
  7. Shake to your liking ground pepper
  8. Whisk together over the medium heat
  9. Sit on a simmer for about 10 mins or until nice and hot, whisking occasionally
  10. Enjoy
I highly recommend pairing the soup with toasted cheese sandwiches, and my husband sprinkled cheddar cheese in his when it was served.

Puppy Pumpkin Icecream


So my sweet beagle Darby just celebrated her 1st birthday!! I know its a little crazy to spoil a dog for their birthday but science more and more has proven that dogs understand more than most people realized, so that being my defense I have a fun easy 2 ingredient recipe for icecream for puppies and also could be a yummy topping for adults on desserts!!!



What you'll need:

  • 1 8oz container of cool whip
  • 1 cup of pure pumpkin
What to do:
  1. In a mixing bowl pour both contents
  2. Mix well till its a nice creamy blend
  3. pour back into the cool whip container and freeze for about 4 hrs
  4. Enjoy! 
**Pumpkin is very healthy and good for dogs it's actually recommended over peanut butter, and it gives their coats a nice shine! Just be aware some dogs pumpkin run through faster than others so I don't recommend this if you aren't going to be home to take them out. Also I only recommend 1 scoop each day or every other day based on the shine you are looking to get in your dogs coat. If you give coconut oil I recommend 1 scoop every other day as coconut oil also has the same affect.
