First up - Horseshoe Art
Scrapbook paper has come a long way. I found this velvety leopard print at Michael's during a 5 sheets for $1.00 sale.
I grabbed a 12 x12 canvas, and a horseshoe I had already spray painted gold.
Then all I did was rub 'n buff the edges gold and glue the paper down.
Then I glued the horseshoe on top and it was done! I love me a quickie! #getyourmindoutathegutter
Speaking of quickies, let's move on to #2 - The Easiest Tastiest Pumpkin Soup
Seriously, this soup is sooooo gooooood!
Start with a jar of this.
God Bless Trader Joe's for finally coming to Lexington!
Empty the entire jar into a pot and heat over medium heat. Then add 3 Tbs. of light sour cream and half a cup of half and half. (The recipe on the jar calls for 3 Tbs. of fat free sour cream, but I prefer light. And I added the half and half to make it creamier. For anyone that is dairy free, maybe you could try using coconut milk?)
Top with applewood smoked bacon and asiago cheese and let your taste buds thank me later. The combination of the salty bacon with the sweet pumpkin is flavor perfection - in my opinion! And the fact that it takes less than 20 minutes to make isn't half bad either. ;)
Sorry for the phone pics. I wasn't planning to blog about this soup, but after I made it the other night I just had to share it with you all! Go get you some pumpkin butter right now!
Beautiful and Yummy! Love the quick art and that soup is calling my name. Looks like a trip to Trader Joe's is in my future!
ReplyDeleteHow much soup did it make? Enough for 2-3? Sounds so good.. I've been on a huge pumpkin kick! I live in AR--No Trader Joe's... I would have to find a substitue for the pumpkin butter.
ReplyDeleteIt makes about 2 to 3 small servings. It's perfect for us because my kids won't touch it ;)
DeleteQuick projects are the best and your pumpkin soup looks delicious. I was searching for an easy recipe to make tonight, I think I may have found it! Thanks Carmel.
ReplyDeleteyummy pumpkin soup!!!!
ReplyDeletethe horseshoe art is so cool!!! i found some horseshoe candlesticks at a yard sale a couple weeks ago! i put them in my space at the barn and i think they sold, but they made me think of you. :)
Cool art. Love how fast and easy it is. The soup looks good too. I just might have to make a run to Trader Joe's!
ReplyDeleteWow - love that art. It looks so chic and fancy, so it's great that it was quick and easy!
ReplyDeleteYUM!!! I'll have to try this.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for a way to make pumpkin soup out of some pumpking spaghetti sauce I picked up. Didn't really like it for spaghetti, so I thought soup. so this is great timing. I think I'll try it with the sauce instead of butter. thx. love the horseshoe. I have 3 I need to do something w/from our trip to the smoky mtns. so I'll be keeping this in mind;).
ReplyDeleteThat soup seems so intriguing to me! I've never had anything like it before, and I'm afraid to try, but at the same time it sounds so delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat soup sounds delish! We just got a TJs near us too and I'll have to scope out the Pumpkin Butter.
ReplyDeleteThat's fun! It looks very Texas glam to me, like GCB :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this horseshoe art is incredible! Thanks for sharing!
