  1. I hope this counts- have always bought broccoli cheese soup because I tried it once and it was a failure. This week, I took the time, followed the recipe, and made a delicious batch of homemade soup.

  2. I made a vegan ranch dressing for the first time. It was okay but not sure I will make it again, I will eat it because we don’t waste food in this house hold but might add it into something else to change the taste some.
