SOS Mix - Soup or Sauce

Have you ever had the hankering for something and the only reason you can't make it is because you didn't have a can of cream of mushroom soup? Well, let me tell you, that has been me for the last week in half or so. All I wanted was some scalloped potatoes. Scalloped potatoes how hard could that be to make, right? Well let me tell you this, the last time this happened, I tried to improvise and it didn't work out so well.

Night before last I was looking through my pinterest pins and ran across the SOS mix. I got very excited for a few moments, then realized I don't keep minced onion on hand, my excitement turned into disappointment. Then a light bulb popped on, hmm... there must be a substitution for it, right? Ah ha, I googled for it and low and behold I found my answer! I'm back in business now! Yeah Me! So off I go getting everything together, and what do you know, this girl is also out of italian seasoning. I'm thinking that this recipe may just turn out to be a disaster. Should I or shouldn't I do this? So, here I go again, I googled and now we are back on track.

Finally all the ingredients

Step back in time

Over our Easter vacation we found ourselves doing a little traveling like most people. We ended up in Rio Grande, OH visiting Bob Evans Farm. I haven't been here since I was a small kid, thats been quite sometime. Lucky for me they had quilts on display. I have been wanting to quilt for a very long time but I have not found the time. There was so much to see in the homestead and we learned a lot about making susage and how the bussiness came about. The tour of the quilts was very nice and once done with the tour you can vote on your favorite.

Here's a few pictures from our stop at the farm.

 

There's quite a bit to see. We however didn't get a chance to go hiking to several of the other historical structures. Hopefully since it's not to far from us we can visit another time and check out the Church and places up Beaver Creek. 

If you do get a chance to visit the Bob Evans Farm you won't be dissappointed. It's FREE and very interesting. What more could you ask for?
