Comfort Food - Venison Vegetable Soup

Best idea for comfort food... Venison Vegetable Soup Today is one of those days I wish I could crawl into bed and hide.  My heart is aching from being hurt by a dear friend, it's cold and dreary outside, and I have been up since 4:30 this morning.  Hoping to find relaxation in cooking a hot pot of Venison Vegetable Soup, and that eating it will be good for my soul. For starters, this has been a good hunting season for my husband and son.  They brought in 5 deer, one each weekend, since the first day of deer season.  I was elated!  Anticipating the meat, I decided on what cuts I needed and have been cooking with it ever since.  Ground venison is my favorite because it can be used in various dishes.

WHAT IS LOVE...

In lieu of the upcoming Valentine's Day, I wanted to share. Let's be reminded... some of us need reminding of what love really is.   💔💛💙💚   LOVE...  💜💗💋👄 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Reading about love this morning.

HEALTHY AND HAPPY Cont'd....

Baggage, luggage, or suitcases are those things you carry around with you that really have no added value to your life.  Sure, you needed those things, once upon a time.  But in reality, if you dropped the load you could go on without it. My problem is I have a LOT of baggage.  Sometimes I think I have set it aside, dropped it off somewhere down the road, lost or forgot it.  Then, it shows it's weary head, and usually at the most unsuspected times, in the most peculiar places. So... let's recap.  In my last post, Health and Happy, my complaint was my weight.  It has always been an issue.  It may not have begun as "my" issue, but it was an issue for someone.  Looking back at all the baggage I recall the things that were said to me as a child, and young adult.  Things like, "You could sit and ride on that booty it's so big!", "Lard Ass", "You're getting fat!", "Look at that gut!".  These aren't entirely horrible th...
