Today's Dinner Menu:
Vegetable Beef Noodle Soup
I know it's summer and soup is usually the last thing you
want for dinner, but this recipe is sooo good you won't want
to wait for a cold day.
Here's the Recipe:
3 1/2 cups Beef Stock or Beef Broth
3 1/2 cups Water
2 cans Cooked Beef
(You can get this at Smith's and it's really good in soups and fajitas.)
1 (14 to 16-ounce) can Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Medium Egg Noodles
2 medium Fresh Carrots, peeled and thinly sliced.
(Dehydrated carrots can be replaced for the fresh - 1/3 cup Dried.)
2 Ribs Celery, strings removed, halved and diced.
(Dehydrated celery can be replaced for fresh - 2 Tbsp. Dried.)
1 large Yellow Onion, peeled and diced.
(Dried minced onion can be replaced for the fresh - 1/4 cup Dried.)
1/2 cup Frozen Peas
(Freeze Dried Peas can be replaced for the fresh - 1/4 cup Dried.)
1 large Clove Garlic, peeled
(Dried Minced Garlic can be replaced for fresh.)
1 Bay Leaf
1/2 tsp. Dried Thyme
Black Pepper and Kosher Salt to taste.
Note:
If using all Dehydrated or Freeze Dried ingredients
increase water and beef stock by 1 cup each.

These are so cool. FYI I noticed that you hadn't add the PDF for the country muffins you did a few days ago. Thanks for all you do. My family is better prepared because of what you do. Thanks so much.

These look super. I was wondering if you were going to post the cards for the dinner meals, at least, that fit in the baseball card holders for our Day Keepers? I was planning on using those sheets to help with my meal planning. How many "bag meals" will you be posting? I'm trying to decide if I need 250 of the gift bags.
I really appreciate all the time you put into your site.
I will be posting a PDF for the Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert Day Keeper Cards that you can fill in on your own. That way you will be able to print a full page of one meal or a page with several different meals.
I will check with Valerie to see when she can do the fill in part.
I will be posting Bag Meals through the end of August. I try new recipes every day so I may go longer than that. I'm not sure how many different ones I will have yet . . . I'm hoping to do a lot more Bag Meal Recipes. I LOVE using them!
Hope that helps!

IS the bottle of fruit mentioned in the recipe card supposed to be a side dish or put in the crockpot too? IS beef stock the same as beef broth? What brand of canned beef do you use? I'd like to find a good one. Thanks for your help.
Great questions!
The fruit is for a side or dessert.
You can use beef stock or beef broth. (I always buy mine during the Smith's case lot sales.)
I can my own meat now . . . but I have tried both of the brands from Smith's and liked them both.
Hope that helps!
Trish
