Kids For Pop'rs & A Great New Years Giveaway!

Hey, there, all you Pop'rs Pals! Meet Ben, who's doing an "infomercial" for the Pop'rs his Mom Tracy P. won in one of Uncle Lynn's Giveaways! Tomorrow, Five Grand Prize Winners will walk away not only with a Complete Set of Pop'rs, but also with Pop'rs Wear for the Whole Family! Check out the awesome T-shirt that Ben's showcasing in this vid.

For more info on The Great New Pop'rs New Years Giveaway, Click Here! The Giveaway closes tomorrow night at 11:59 p.m. EST. Uncle Lynn will select our Five Grand Prize Winners via Random Drawing, and I'll announce all this Bloggy Bling right here on Monday Morning!

Ben's Mom, Tracy P., runs The Journey. The "P" Family just got back from a 16-day, 3,600-mile Mega-Christmas-Trip to see the Grandparents. Check out Tracy's Vay-Cay Photos to see how much fun these folks had!

Tracy is also the one who turned on Aunt Julie and Moi to Beer Cheese Soup during Aunt Julie's *Recipe Week* in November. I have to say that we're all pretty addicted now, along with several of our Bloggy Friends!

BTW, Ben is putting Cocoa Pop'rs in a delightful-looking beverage known as Chocolate Mint Swirl. If you listen carefully, you can hear the Pop'rs "singing" in the mug. Tracy is quite the connoisseur in the kitchen. I recently tried her Mint Meltaways, which are To Die For! Would you mind sharing your secrets for Chocolate Mint Swirl, Tracy?

Aunt Julie's *Recipe Week*, Day #5: We're in "Soup Mode," for Sure!

Yes, it's true, Dear Readers. I get hungry for a Hearty Bowl of Soup as soon as that First Snowflake Falls. Yesterday, we treated you to Aunt Julie's Wild Rice Soup; today, you're in for another treat from Julie Eliz's Recipe Box. Of course, you must serve Aunt Julie's Broccoli Soup with some more of those crusty and delish Fresh Sheboygan Hard Rolls!


Aunt Julie's Broccoli Soup
1 ½ cup chicken broth
½ cup chopped onion
2 cups broccoli
Combine ingredients, boil, then simmer 10 minutes, 'til broccoli is tender

In the meantime:

Melt 2 tbsp butter.
Add 2 tbsp flour, stir.

Add ¼ tsp. each, salt and pepper
Slowly add 1 cup milk.
Warm, and stir.

Add the butter/flour mixture to chicken broth/onion/broccoli, and stir 'til thick.
You can double or triple this recipe for a crowd! And, don't forget the Sheboygan Hard Rolls!
