Slightly Obsessive and Menu Plan Monday

Halloween Traditions (Recipe: Cheeseburger Soup)
A Cheeseburger Soup recipe with ground beef, cheese and tender diced potatoes in a creamy broth. I am sitting here tonight, surrounded by kids who have basically been on three days of extreme sugar highs. As a result, I am quickly reminded of why I do not love Halloween. I was a fan of Halloween…
