teaching Zoie: hamburger soup

Tim won 4 tickets to Disneyland for tonight for their Halloween Party but he cannot go...he is leaving for DC for a journalism conference...so Sam, and Zoie and I are going...but I wanted a good stick to your ribs dinner for Tim before he gets on the plane...

this is my go to recipe and very easy too for hamburger soup...

5 cups of water, add 1 package Lipton onion soup mix and 1 large can of tomato sauce and bring to a boil...add frozen vegetables (we used corn, peas, carrots) and 1/2 package of elbow macaroni...turn down heat till pasta is al-dente...

and voila a nice hearty and easy soup that everyone loves

teaching Zoie: slow cooker hawaiian pork chops

my husband loved pork chops and would have loved these...it calls for 6 hours on low, but I think it was a little long and I would try at 4 1/2 hours instead...

otherwise these were very good...

we paired with Trader Joes Rice Medley and green beans...
