Welcome to our Recipe Swap!

If anyone would like to join this blog as a contributor, just let me know and I will add you as an author. The only thing we ask is that you share your recipes with us! We may start monthly themes later on down the line, if more people show an interest, but at this point, please feel free to post any recipe you like, whenever you like.

~If you have a photo of the dish, please post it along with the recipe, since it is always nicer to see a picture. Please post it at the medium size so we can keep all the pictures the same size.

~And please tag the recipes into one of the categories listed. As you decide on which category to put them in, think of how you would search for it in a cookbook. As administrator, I may occasionally go through the recipes and categories and edit them for easier searching as things go along, so don't feel offended if I change some things around.


~If you try a recipe, feel free to comment on the recipe and let us know what you thought!


~Finally, please write a little something about yourself. I will post everyones profile here, so that we can get to know those we may not be familiar with.

Thank you to those who have already jumped in and added recipes. I am excited to see what everyone is cooking!

Baked Potato Soup

4 large baking potatoes
2/3 c. butter
2/3 c. flour
6 c. milk
3/4 t. each, salt & pepper
4-8 green onions, divided ( I like more, rather than less)
16 sliced bacon, cooked & crumbled, divided
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 1/2 c. sour cream

Bake potatoes about an hour at 400 degrees. Let cool. Peel and partially mash, leaving chunks. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 min. stirring constantly.. Gradually add milk. cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens, and bubbles. Add potatoes, salt, pepper, 4 T. sliced green onions, 1/2 c. bacon and 1 c. cheese. cook until thoroughly heated; stir in sour cream; do not boil. Add extra milk, if needed for desired thickness. Serve with remaining onions, bacon and cheese. or you can stir in all into the soup at one time.
