African Sweet Potato and Peanut Soup




I'm not a serious blogger yet, but I can't keep this recipe to myself!









I love to cook. If something can be done by scratch, I jump for it. I'm realizing that I love to make soups - it makes such a great meal!

My brother tipped me off to this one: African Sweet Potato and Peanut Soup! It screams fall to me, but I love it all year round! It does take a long time to make, but it's so worth it! I'm making it right now, and I made a double batch so I could freeze the other half. Yummy!



I get a lot of my recipes from http://www.allrecipes.com/. It's a great site that anyone can upload time-tested recipes from people who are just like you. You can even search by ingredient!

(I would put it in the body of the post, but I can't seem to copy and paste! Is this a blogging thing?)

Hi everybody!

If you're here you might be thinking.... why does this girl have a blog if she doesn't use it?

WELL

I would like to blog someday. I have friends and family that blog and I am really starting to get into what they are writing. I'd like to follow suit, but when I am called to do so. I'm a teacher, and I have enough trouble keeping up my classroom website! Until I can get that down, I won't start another.

But why have one?

This Scripture verse, "As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD" is the mantra for our marriage. It was important to me that my blog reflect that.... and I didn't want anyone to take it!! This isn't the first time that I've done something like this... before my husband proposed to me, I created an email account with my married name... just in case!

So if you are reading this, please check back later, I'd love to have visitors!
