Cheesy Vegetable Chowder | www.tasteandtellblog.com

I have turned into a planner.  When I first started this blog, I really just blogged as I cooked.  If I was cooking a lot, there were lots of new blog posts.  If I didn’t feel like cooking, the blog posts slowed down.

But as time has gone by, and as I have had 1, 2 and then 3 children, planning has become essential.  Now, I like to have my posts planned out about a month in advance.  This worked perfectly toward the end of my pregnancy.  It felt good to have a month worth of posts planned and cooked.  And it was even nicer to not have to worry about cooking after the baby came.

I still have a few recipes that are waiting to be posted, but this past weekend, I sat down to make sure that I had December’s posts at least planned out.  And what I realized is that December is going to be full of lots of treats.  And pizza.  While I know that we all are still eating dinner every night during the holiday season, it’s just not as fun to talk about dinner when there are cookies to talk about!!

So in preparation for a month almost full of holiday treats, I bring you another super easy dinner idea.  Perfect for a cold night.  Perfect for a busy night.  And this is a soup I can usually whip up from what I have on hand.  Feel free to toss in extra vegetables – I used what we have on hand all of the time, but I’m sure this would be quite easy to customize.  It’s an easy, no-fuss dinner for the crazy holiday season we are almost in the middle of!!

    This soup was really good! I added some extra salt (my cheddar cheese was mild), some pepper, and some nutmeg. Next time, I’ll modify by using one pot–melting the butter into the vegetables, whisking in the flour, and then adding the milk and the chicken broth together and thickening. Overall, a good, solid recipe!

    What a great soup idea. And it is perfect for this time of year. Planning is essential for me. Now I just have to learn how to stick to my plan! (Or figure out a new planning strategy.) 😉

    I have about a month’s worth of posts planned out too – it’s so nice to know that you can take a week off from blogging since you can rely on these planned posts! And I just love this soup! It’s so perfect as a quick, weeknight meal!

    I am always impressed Deborah how you juggle everything especially with your little ones! I try and to be planned and organized and the best I can do is two weeks in advanced and sometimes that doesn’t even work out! You can never go wrong with soup, especially this time of year when the weather is cooler and you need something quick and inexpensive!
