Potato Soup

This is a low-fat recipe I got from Renae Layton at a Relief Society dinner.

6 c. diced potatoes
1 carrot diced
1 medium onion, diced
(4 cups) 1 32oz. can chicken broth (reserve 1 cup for gravy)
1 pkg. country gravy mix

Put potatoes, carrot, onion and chicken broth (reserving 1 cup in glass measuring cup for next step) into a large pot and bring to a boil for about 5 minutes, turn to simmer.

In a separate container whisk in packet of country gravy mix with remaining cup of chicken broth (while broth is still cold).

Add broth and gravy mixture to pot and simmer for about 1 hour.

Eat as is, or try these mix-ins: cheese, green onion, bacon or ham.

Sweet and Sticky Chex Mix

I first tried this addictive snack mix at Hilary Tolman's 30th birthday party.  It was an outdoor dance party, and Danielle Thompson had brought this as her snack contribution.  

Note: This makes A LOT!  You may want to halve the recipe.

In large bowl mix:
9 c. golden grahams cereal (1- 12oz box)
8 c. corn chex cereal
1 c. coconut
1 c. sliced almonds

In saucepan, heat:
1 c. sugar
1 c. corn syrup
3/4 c. butter (6 Tbsp if halved )

Brig to a boil.  Boil for two minutes.  Pour over cereal mixture and mix well.
