 Soup and stews makes for an easy meal on a busy day.

Fall and winter is the time of year for stew and soups. Busy days and cold nights are made for a soup supper. Easy to prepare and simmer until the dinner hour says comfort!  

planning for easy meals

Busy households can benefit from weekly meal planning. Easy dishes are a must! My beef vegetable soup (or stew) is one of those meals! It also good over seveval days. Make it for Friday night dinner and your Satueday lunch is ready too!

saturdays made easier

Weekends when the older kids and families were coming to visit I like to have Saturday lunch prepared so when they arrive, it is ready! In the cooler days, that usually includes soup.

Saturdays can be lazy days, catching up on sleep, homework and with friends.  

One thing I have done to make those Saturday lunches is to have a large pot of soup on the stove or in the crock pot. As the kids grew, their schedules changed with sports and jobs. It’s a serve yourself Saturday.

I could be preparing food and washing dishes all day long!

Though I enjoy preparing delicious food for family and guests, I do not like making what can seem like endless meals.  I have a repertoire of just the kind of recipes that are tasty, easy preparations and cost less.  A meal made in larger qualities that reheats well is a must.

Very handy as we all come and go!

We love Jiffy Corn Muffins or traditional skillet cornbread with this. A ‘loaf’ bread like Italian or French is delicious too.

    Vegetable soup is one of my all time favorite meals! Especially on cold days. Saving and pinning your recipe for future. It looks great with the fresh spinach, I’ve never tried that before:)

    I love using Lipton Onion Recipe mix in soups. Haven’t made any soups recently though. I imagine with fall just around the corner I’ll be right back to making soups that my family loves. That soup looks pretty great!
