Yummy Broccoli-Cheddar Soup

Yum, this is a delicious and nutritious Broccoli -Cheddar Soup. Easy to make, 15 minutes, start to finish, depending on how fast you are with a can opener! hahaha!

Ingredients:

1 Floret of Broccoli (or use frozen Broccoli), chopped (I love a lot of Broccoli, so I pretty much just jam in as much as I can in the bowl, and now I just make it in the microwave... is so fast!)

1 Can of Cambell's Broccoli Soup

Milk (just fill the tin after you've put the soup in the pot)

Cheddar Cheese - shred as much as you like on top of the soup

Stir, cover, stir occasionally, cook for 10 minutes,

EAT!!  Yumm!!

You can make this in the microwave, too, no bother, just cover and cook for 13 minutes.

The Cheddar is optional, but delicious - it's up to you, baby!! lol!

This is great on a chilly night, and fantastic for your first course for a lovely Dinner : )

Super-easy, and even better the next day!  I like it with a little toasted cheese bread - is super-yummy!

 I pop it in the microwave for 13 minutes.. and I make all the Broccoli I happen to have - I just cut it into bite-size pieces, toss it on top of the soup, and remember that you can use any Cream Soup as the Base - it's all good! You could probably use any soup, but I like it creamy : ) and Super-Cheesey! lol! 

 Put the soup in the bowl first, unless you forget - no biggie, it'll work any way, at all - the soup will steam the broccoli - so healthy, so delicious, and soo easy! 

And I toss in some cubed cheddar cheese - whatever I happen to have in the fridge... and when I reheat it, the next day, I put on a slice of Havarti - yum! : )

Omg, I love this meal soo much, especially on a cold day - yum! I happen to love Havarti Cheese, so I just put a little slice of Havarti on the top, and whammo, deeelishush!! 

Broccoli Cheddar Rice Soup - Deeelish!! Oooh, here's my new favourtie recipe for my favourite Broccoli Soup - now I make it with 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup (I love Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup), 1 can of water, 1 can of rice (or I use a package of the Uncle Ben's Ready-Made Cheddar Rice - yum!), and a LOT of shredded Cheddar Cheese, and a slice of Havarti Cheese, then a huuge amount of broccoli, cut up in bite size pieces - deeelish!  I make it in a great big bowl, makes enough for 4, prolly, but it's two bowls for me - one for today, and one for tomorrow! lol!

Lol!  My table is always covered in flowers, of one sort or another  : )

This is so cool - let's say you've now been binge watching your fave shows, and you STILL have 4 more seasons left of your brand new-to-you show, soo you don't want to get up off the couch, but, also, you know you should probably get you' some groceries?

Problem - Solution! lol! 

Check and see if your area is covered by either VONS or Safeway... they cover some of the same areas, and some different areas - does that make sense? lol!

I loove this Delivery Service for Groceries and whatever you might need, right to your door, just in general, but what a great idea in bad weather, no more stooopid traffic, or if you're not feeling up to going out to the store, or you just don't feeeel like going out to the store...or if you're like me, and get so caught up in whatever you're working on, and don't want to stop just 'for food' - haha! And no need for Taxis, if you need to take a cab to the grocery store...that's a huge savings, right there, right?

Wow, Grocery Delivery Service - that's fantastico!! Yippee!!  Hello, Future - you look great! : )

I think this is such an amazing new service for your groceries - and anything you ever need from the grocery store - if you've ever had a time when you had a tiny baby, or you're super-busy (same thing - hahaha! All the New Moms will be laughing, now - lol!)..but if you're busy at work, or busy at home, or traffic, or you're busy binge-watching your favorite shows - hahahahaha! This might be the new wave of the future, right? Ordering your groceries online?

And I would imagine you would save a lot of money, since you would just buy what you actually need... might really work for dieting, too, since, well, if we're in the store, and be 'we', I mean 'me'...anyway, let's say I've got my grocery list, then I'm at the store, and I think, you know what, I'll just nick down the Candy Aisle, see if Chocolate is on sale (see how much I like Sale Chocolate - hahaha! Is it tastier, or just less expensive?? We'll never know! It's all gone, now - hahaha!)

Not that you couldn't just 'browse' for that, anyway... right? Me thinkin', now, o' course, where is the Sale Chocolate, online?? hahaha! But let's say you're you, and not me, and you have a LOT more self control than maybe ME do... so you order all the things you really wanted, and not just a whole cart full o' Wunderbars, on sale... hahahaha! Wouldn't THAT be fun - just a cartful of Sale Chocolate?? haha! Okay, clearly, me needs a treat! lol! : ) #SaleChocolate! Ha!

Shop Gifts Under $10 from See's Candies!Create your own Custom Chocolate Mix at See's Candies!  Okay, this is MY kind o' Luxury Reward - me always 'reward' mah'self wit' da delicious chocolates! hahaha!  I loove Sees Candies - soo deeelish! The Walnut Squares (#43 - is it bad for me to know the number?? hahahahaha!) (I've got your number..oooh, is it #43??  I hope so! lol!) Ooh, and I see that Sees has a sale, right now, Take $4 off of $20? Yahoo! Sale Chocolate - yes, please! haha! Yum! Don't mind if ah' do...lol! : )

#MacaroniSalad - Healthy, #LowFat And Crazy-Delicious! lol! #Mustard is the secret #Crunchy #Yum! #PotatoSalad #Salad

Deeeelicious Macaroni Salad -- hardly any fat, tons of veggies -- yum!! You'll love it!

Crunchy, delicious and healthy, too!  I go a lot heavier on the mustard, and only put in a little of the mustard and mayonnaise mix to cover the salad... I just put the extra in the fridge (I mix it directly in the measuring cup). I don't like the Macaroni Salad that is just saturated in mayonnaise... yuck! Too heavy for me -- I like light, crispy, cool, healthy, and this is the best Macaroni Salad, ever : ) The colder this Macaroni Salad gets, the better it is, so I looove to have this for breakfast the following day.. and then I have it, by accident, for lunch and dinner, and possibly all snacks, throughout the day -- it's craaazy delicious!

Cool, Crunchy, low fat and delicious Macaroni Salad - yum!

4 Cups Macaroni (Really, I throw in the whole bag... is okay! lol!)
½ Cup Mayonnaise
1 Cup Mustard (or more... I go heavier on the mustard, just put the mixture on a bit at a time)
2 - 4 tbsp. Montreal Steak Spice
Fresh Black Pepper and Salt to Taste (yum!) (Lots! lol!)

Veggies:

2 Green Peppers, diced
1 Red Pepper, diced
1 Orange Pepper, diced
1 Yellow Pepper, dice (I buy the 6 pack of Peppers, and some green peppers)
4 Green Onions, chopped (Optional, too - see how oniony you want it! lol!)(I skip this, now)
1 Red Onion, diced (Hmmm... maybe 1/2 a Red Onion, diced... put in half, first, see how you feel... : )
Whole Celery Stalk, chopped (Or even more celery... love this bit! lol!)
2 tbsp. Relish

1 tbsp. Diced Dill Pickle (Optional -- I have to put it in because that's what Dwight's Mom used to use, so he likes it!)

Step 1: Cook the Macaroni, then Drain and cool.

Step 2: Mix the Mayonnaise and the Mustard in a large Measuring Cup. Blend in Steak Spice.

Step 3: Prepare Veggies. Toss them into a big (and I mean BIG!) Bowl as you prepare each one.

Step 4: Pour the Mustard/Mayo Mixture onto the Veggies, and mix well.

Step 5: Slowly stir in the Macaroni. Sprinkle with Freshly Ground Pepper. Cover and pop in the Fridge. The colder, the better.

(Or you can add the Macaroni to the Veggies, then add the 'Sauce'. Just put in as much as you like -- I often have a bit left over, and I save that for Sandwiches, since it makes a nice Sandwich Spread, too!)

This is a great make-ahead dish for a BBQ.

I came up with this recipe when Dwight, (now my ex-husband, but he's still a good guy -- no worries! lol!), said he’d really looove some Macaroni Salad, and I had no idea how to make it, but I can’t stand the usual ‘mayo salad’ that is usually served, so I just started experimenting in the Kitchen (that’s basically how all my recipes are ‘born’! ha,ha!), and this is what I came up with – now it’s a family favorite! We even eat this for Breakfast! I happen to love lots of ground pepper on mine and a wee dash of salt, but it’s personal taste, so add it if you love it!

Mix the mayonnaise and the mustard -- I like 2 parts mustard to 1 part mayonnaise, but if this is your first time making it, just play around with the ratio until you get it juuust right for you : ) 

I just sprinkle on the Montreal Steak Spice... use any spice you have on hand, if you can't find the Montreal Steak Spice (although, Montreal steak Spice makes a fantastic chicken and steak marinade, too... is worth looking for at the grocery shop! lol!)

I add the regular relish, and now they make Dill Relish, so no more chopping! lol!  I add about 2 tablespoons of each... yummy!

** **

Yum, this is my favorite bit -- tons of chopped veggies!  This will smell and look sooo delicious -- you might want to eat some, right away! lol!

Gently stir in the cold pasta - I run cold water over the macaroni for about 5 minutes, after it's cooked, and then the colder this macaroni salad is, the more delicious it is, so I put it straight into the fridge : )

Add the mustard and mayonnaise mixture a little at a time... maybe 1/2 cup at a time, to get the right consistency for you : )

** **

Chill and enjoy! I love it for breakfast ... then lunch... dinner... snacks! hahaha! You'll love it, and if you're having this macaroni salad at a BBQ, it'll feed a lot of people -- makes a massive amount!  

This is just delicious! Nice and Crunchy and Cool ... a very nice Summer Dish, but great all year round! And a real 'Crowd Pleaser', too!

Happy Cooking! Ailsa : ) xox!

Yum!  Just in case you want to stop smoking, and have been thinking of switching to e-cigarettes... better air, in and out - lol! : ) To You Health! : )

Otay, 'til the next time we meet again! lol!  Ailsa : )

Oh, and here's a funny little story that happened to us, tonight, on our way back home from a fun afternoon of shopping.... we swung by KFC, since we were totally taken in by their fantastic advertising, which they put on during Big Brother, especially during Big Brother After Dark, and it always looks so delicious to me... anyway, so we swing by KFC to get their fancy Anniversary Bucket, with their new KFC Onion rings, which sound really delicious to us, and we totally want to try it...

So I ordered that in the Drive-thru, the guy says they're all out of the #KFC onion rings, so I said, "Oh, okay, well, is there any chance you still have the Thai Chicken, Sweet Thai Chicken?"  He says, "Oh, sure, we've got lots of Thai Chicken!"  So I say, so surprised, "Oh, that's fantastic!  Could I have half of the 10 piece bucket with the Thai chicken, half with regular chicken, please?"  He says, "Sure, no problem!"  So, I drove up to the window, I'm chatting with the guy, say how excited and happy I am that they have the Sweet Thai Chicken, and he gives me sort of a funny look, like, she really looves her chicken...

So, here's the bit that really broke me up - he says, "Too bad you just missed our deal - we had that Chicken on sale for 10 pieces for $5, last week."  I said, "What?  10 pieces for $5?"  Mah' mind is getting clearer, at this point... then I said, "So, I'm getting the Sweet Chili Thai Chicken, the really spicy one, right?"  He gives me a funny look, says, "Yes, the Chicken Thighs...."

Sooo, all that time, he thought I was asking for 'those sweet chicken thighs' - bah'hahahahahaha!  So that totally made me laugh... when we both realized the error, he gave me a bucket of the regular KFC Chicken, instead - hilarious!  So funny!  Made'a me laugh! Was a little language barrier - so silly - lol! : )

Oh, and here's a little way you can 'doctor up' your potato salad or macaroni salad you might get at KFC, or anywhere else - take it home and add in some mustard, lots of pepper and some salt - deeeelish!  Gives it such a great flavor! Yum!

Take Your Potato Salad from Good to Great! Yum!

You can easily doctor up your Potato Salad, too - you know the one you might pick up at the store, or get at the Drive-Thru? Bring it home, add mustard, chopped Red Peppers, crumbled Bacon - or all of the delicious veggies I always put in mah' fave Macaroni Salad - so good! Crunchy, delicious - you'll loove it! 

I just had a little bit of bacon left, so I had a little, and my son had the rest - that's how it goes, in my' house - lol! Most for the boy, some for me : ) 

And I like Potato Salad on its own, I guess, but mostly I like Potato Salad when it's all doctored up, the way I like it - and then lots of pepper and some salt, to taste.... : )

For the record, this is a fair sized bowl - the medium bowl, if you have the regular set of bowls, small, medium and large - for the Macaroni salad, I need to use the giant pot I make the macaroni in, AND, the very biggest bowl I have, it makes soo much, so I make that to share with my lovely daughter and her wonderful husband - they love it, too! lol! 

Oh, and did I already say, Montreal Steak Spice? That's a staple, in our house, too - delicious on pretty much everything! : )

And, there's another excuse to add a little bacon to your life, if you happen to love bacon - haha! 

But you don't have to add the bacon, just go straight up veggies, and the mustard : ) 

Enjoy, my little Culinary Friend! BBQ Friend? Both?? haha! Ailsa : )
