Wednesday dinner is back..

Starting in September I will start making dinner on Wednesday again.  I have several recipes that I want to try.  Especially this one:

Duggar’s Taco Soup

3 lbs ground turkey

1 med. onion, chopped

3 (4oz.) cans green chilies, chopped

3 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. pepper

3 pkg. taco seasoning

3 pkg. ranch or 1 c. liquid ranch dressing

3 cans hominy, undrained

9 (14 1/2 oz.) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

3 (15oz.) cans kidney beans, undrained

6 (15oz.) cans pinto beans, undrained

5 c. water

Brown ground turkey w/ onion. stir in remaining ingr. Bring to boil. Simmer 30 min. Serve w/ Tortilla chips, grated ched. cheese & sour cream.
 
 
*This recipe is Duggar sized. If you don’t need to feed an army then adjust the recipe to the size you need.  I will probably make the whole recipe because we have eight people in our house. 
 
 
I can’t wait to start making dinner again.  I will definilty share the finished meal with you and take pictures this time around of all the meals before serving.  I forgot to do that last time.
 
Another Duggar recipe that I want to try is for St. John’s Banana Bread.  I love baking and I have always wanted to make banana bread, but never got around to it.  Here is the Duggar’s recipe:
 
 
St. John’s Banana Bread

1/2 c. butter

1 c. sugar

2 eggs

2 c. sifted flour

1 t. salt

1 t. baking soda

3 large bananas

1 c. chopped nuts

1 t. melted butter

cinnamon-sugar mixture

Cream butter &sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in sifted dry ingredients. Beat in mashed bananas. Add nuts. Pour into a greased & floured 9”x5”x3”-pan. Bake at 350 for 50-60 min. While bread is still warm brush with melted butter & sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.

I love the Duggar family if you haven’t noticed.  I want to be the kind of mother that Mrs. Duggar is to her children.  She doesn’t talk down to them or yell at them when they don’t obey her or Mr. Duggar.  I am reading their book right now and I am almost done with it.  I have learned a lot about how she keeps her calm and doesn’t get frustrated with the children.  I would love to be able to meet them someday.  N’s mother, father, and brother met them in July and got their first book signed for me. 
 
I hope you are having a great weekend.
 
P.S. Crafty Tuesday will start in September as well; after Labor Day!
