• A New Chicken Soup

  It’s cool and rainy outside and I’m spending the whole day doing paperwork, doodling, painting, and writing letters. It’s really got me craving a big pot of soup. Last week I made something new. Click the title for the recipe!

  Almond Chicken Soup with Sweet Potato, Collards, and Ginger

  I have to say I was skeptical. This was way outside of my tastebud comfort zone. But you know what? It was amazing. It was bright and citrusy and delicious.  I even ate the leftovers cold out of the fridge the next day for lunch. So good. I’m definitely making it again.
