Leek Soup is a favorite around here. I pretty much always have leeks on hand because I use them to make homemade bone broth. I like to try out different recipes and this week I tried one by The Gluten Free Goddess and it was pretty good. I did alter her recipe though.

It still isn’t fixed and it is making me crazy because I have to go stand out there every single time one of the dogs needs to go pee. Maggie isn’t that bad, but Kylie is an old dog lady and seriously thinks she needs to pee every 5 minutes. Of course we get out there and she just sits and stares at me. I […]
