Day One...Cooking, Sledding, and The Law of Attraction

Day one of the Creative Every Day 2010 was a bit lame (but I'm okay with that). I was wiped out from ringing in the new year and crawling into bed at 1:30 am. Now that I have my excuse out there I can tell you that indeed I was creative!

* I planned my 2010 in great detail. I spent time in visualization via my Law of Attraction lifestyle
* I formed tight snowballs in the new fallen snow (& threw them, too)
* I formed new friendships at the neighborhood sledding party
* I cooked my mom's famous Red Soup recipe
* I baked my famous scones

Now, just to show you that I'm an open book I will share with you the V.E.R.Y. secret recipe for Red Soup.

RED SOUP

One Quart of V-8 Juice
One quart of water
One handful of white rice or barley
One handful of spaghetti, broken into 3-4" pieces
One handful of pasta noodles (macaroni, penne, spirals...whatever is your fave)
one medium onion, peeled and chopped
2-3 T butter

Melt the butter in a large stockpot, saute the onions until they are translucent and maybe a bit browned and your whole kitchen smells delicious.

Add the V-8 juice to the stockpot then fill the juice bottle with water and add that to the pot. When it is boiling go ahead and add the rice, spaghetti and pasta to the pot. Turn the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir occasionally.

When the rice and pasta are at your desired doneness salt and pepper the whole big mess and serve it with grilled cheese sandwiches or homemade white bread thick with peanut butter.

(You can all thank me later for sharing this recipe) Please don't tell my mom I told you how it's done.

Enjoy.
