A whole field of cheery yellow flowers showed up anyway.. And I get to be one of the people who gets genuine joy out of seeing a field full of dandelions..

OK, so potatoes aren’t the #1 healthiest veggie around, but real potatoes and leeks are infinitely better than chicken fingers are fries, right?Hooray for real food!

And for baby steps that are just so yummy.. Onion soup packets make it super easy.. Here’s what you do:.1) Peel and chop about 3 large potatoes into 1.5″ pieces.. 2) Rinse 1 large leek and slice it into 1/4″ rounds.If your leeks came in a pack of three like mine did, slice the other two and freeze them so you can make this soup again anytime you like!.

3) Combine potatoes, leeks, 1 packet of onion soup mix, and about 4 cups of water in the crock pot.. 4) Cook on high for about 4 hours.. 5) Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in small batches in a blender.Add a bit of water or milk (if desired) to thin the soup out to a consistency that looks good to you!.

Now, this soup is delicious as-is, but I find that the key to getting my family to actually eat it is all in how I dress it up.

Doesn’t that look like a party in a bowl?I don’t know if it was really my bug killing or not, but after a few days, I saw a lot fewer beetles on my plants.

And now there are hardly any at all.I trimmed back most of the damaged parts and look!

We have zucchinis growing!I think that means I may have done something right!
