While Brady handles the cheese grating, Katy is getting started with the first step over on the stovetop.

I am specifically using BordenĀ® Cheese here because it is delicious, all natural, and is made by a cooperative of over 8,000 family owned dairy farms across the United States. The cheeses they offer include: Mild Cheddar, Mozzarella, Mexican, Swiss, Sharp Cheddar, American, Colby Jack, and more. They are available in singles, shreds, chunks, slices, strings, and snacks! This is creamy, flavorful, delicious cheese made in our homeland and it just makes every dish better.

  1. We always have sit down dinners together. Last night we had the soup and I made a few sides. It was wonderful. Will definitely try it again

  2. We love to sit down and have dinner together. Especially a bowl of cheese soup with broccoli and fresh bread!

  3. It is so nice to see your children in the kitchen cooking and having fun together. Cooking is a wonderful time for siblings and parents to talk about what’s going on, to find out what’s happening, catch up on things that everyone may just have let slip by in those busy moments, as well as share a family passion. I know you feel truly blessed to have your babies (I know they are not babies, but they will always be our babies) working, learning, and playing right in heart of the home, right there beside their loving mama. Touches your heart, big time!

  4. Sure, I’ll accept that challange! I am going to try this cheese soup, too…never had it, but it sounds good. Thank you for the chance to win this giveaway.
