Every Sunday we head out to Sam's Parents' house for dinner. It is something I think we all look forward to. The kids get to play with Grandpa and Grandma. I don't have to cook dinner. Sam can watch tv in peace (most of the time).
I also love going over there for dinner because of all the different recipes. One of my favorites and easiest meal is hamburger soup. It is warm, hearty, and so good.
Hamburger Soup
Lennay Crockett
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
2 cans beef broth
1 can tomatoes
1 med. onion
3-4 stalks of celery
1 can corn
1 lb. ground beef
2 bay leaves
Noodles (Egg noodles or pasta works)
Put spaghetti sauce and broth in to a large pot. Fill sauce jar 1/2 full with water and add to pot. Chop onion and celery and add to pot with the bay leaves and tomatoes. Heat until it begins to boil and reduce it to a simmer. Brown the ground beef and add to the pot. Add corn and let simmer for one hour. In a different pot cook your noodles. and add 5 minutes before serving or if you are wanting some for leftovers leave the pasta and soup separate so the noodles don't get too mushy over night.

A Sunday Breakfast Staple
Having two little kids and nine o'clock church is not exactly the ideal situation for me. I enjoy my sleep and knowing that I need to get up early enough to get myself ready, breakfast out, and have at least one of the kids ready to go to choir with me is almost laughable until... Baked Oatmeal!!
It is healthy and delicious. It is easy and delicious. It is easy to double or half for more or less people. Have I mentioned that it's delicious?? It is.
Baked Oatmeal
adapted from Recipezaar
2 c. uncooked oats (I've used quick and old fashioned and prefer old fashioned.)
1/3 c. packed brown sugar (I've used 1/4 c. and it was just as good)
1-2 t. cinnamon (I like lots.)
1/4 t. salt
1/4 c. raisin
2 T. craisin (optional)
1 t. baking powder
1 1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. applesauce
1 T. butter, melted
1 lg. egg, beaten
1 t. vanilla
Preheat oven to 350' degrees. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine wet ingredients in separate bowl and whisk well. Stir the wet into the dry and stir well. Grease 8x8 pan and pour batter in to the pan. Bake 20 mins or til golden. (Mine usually takes 25 minutes)
You can pour milk over it or not. Whatever you want just enjoy it!!
