Potatoe Leek Soup

Hello World!
Today was such a beautiful day! The weather was beautiful. It felt like spring at around 66 degrees and very sunny! I had the windows open enjoying fresh air while getting things done around the house. My little Ava came by to spend the afternoon and we had a fabulous time! She is the light of my life. She brings so much joy and peace into my life. I became a better person once she came along. I think it has a lot to do with age as well. I am so thankful for her and that she is healthy and cute! She took a pic of me making Potatoe Leek soup for dinner.

I made roasted leeks the other day and wanted to use them to make a quick pot of soup tonight. Served it up in no time flat with a couple pieces of crusty artisan bread from Trader Joe's!

I wanted to share a tip on one of my favorite appliances. The kitchen gadget that I am using today is called an immersion stick blender. I purchased this about 15 years ago and I love it. It is powerful. You can mix drinks in a cup without it splattering about. You can make peanut butter in the can of peanuts with this thing. That is about as fresh as you can get. You can do all kinds of things with it, but I find I use it most in making soups or to purée. I have learned that to be successful you must set yourself up with the proper tools! It helps make any project much easier.
 Happy Friday!
