- (You have to have a pot large enough to cover vegetables with enough water to boil).
- Reduce heat to meduim-low and cover.
- Cook for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent vegetables from sticking to bottom.
- Remove what you will be eating and set stock pot aside to cool.

- When I reheat, sometimes I add macaroni noodles instead of potatoes.

<p>I'm the mother of 2 (boy and a girl), currently 3 grandchildren (all girls), 1 Chihuahua (Bebe` Chico), and at last count 8-yard cats. Too many of my city friends believe I live a pretty boring life in the country. But country life is perfect for me. For fun I travel around the state visiting country fairs and craft shows. I own more gardening and craft books than cook books, that's what drew me to recipezaar. My passions are cooking, gardening, scrapbooking, sewing and spending time with my family.</p>
<p>My biggest problem right now is finding time to spend on this wonderful site. Last summer I did start back up canning and I even purchased a pressure canner so now I'm canning a little more than just jams and jellies.<br /> <br />I'm so glad to see so many people are enjoying my Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe, and it pleases me to know you are receiving great compliments on the juicy bird! <br /> <br />Thank you all for your wonderful comments, Lots of Love.. ~GMaw~</p>
