Bread is baked! I discovered that baby bella mushrooms were on sale at the grocery store. So I stocked up and used my day off to make a huge batch of wild mushroom soup. I already had a box of dried gourmet mushrooms in the panty that were not slated for another use so into the soup they went! Smells so good in my house right now!!! Should be about 20 servings of soup in the end, which means we'll have plenty of quick and easy meals to pull out of the freezer in the future.

Later this week I need to tackle the giant butternut squash in my kitchen. Perhaps that will become soup as well... Now if only I could get motivated enough to make vegetable stock on my own, then I would really be making some frugal pots of soup!!!
