If you're looking for a hearty, protein packed soup to get you through these cold winter days, look no further than my Lentil Vegetable Soup. Lentils and great northern beans take this vegetable soup to a whole new level, providing a comforting and filling meal. If you have any vegan parmesan on hand, I recommend sprinkling some on top to give the soup a little extra bite. And don't forget a tasty baguette for soaking up the extra broth!

I look forward to sharing my 'Kind' food with you soon 💚

I can’t think of a more perfect time for a hot bowl of tomato soup! With temps in the single digits, snow on the ground, and bitter winds, it’s time to cozy up indoors with my tomato basil soup and a baguette (or better yet, make yourself a grilled cheese like I did!). Smooth and creamy with just a hint of smokiness from roasting the tomatoes. Our favorite soup as a kid…just a little more grown up.

Souper Sunday is back featuring Roasted Sweet Potato & Chipotle Pepper! I was in Bloomington, Indiana, this past weekend and had a soup that was very similar to this. It was delicious and I have been craving it ever since. So here is my version and I hope you like it as much as I do! Keep in mind the peppers give this soup a definite kick. If you're a little sensitive to spice, be sure to order a baguette to go with it! A yummy blend of sweet and spicy, this Souper Sunday is guaranteed to warm you up on a cold winter's day!

As a follow up to my Christmas Day post, I promised a recap of my grandmother's 100th birthday celebration. After an afternoon of cake and presents with friends and family, we capped off the evening with a 'kind' dinner of artichoke cakes, garlic bread, and zucchini stuffed with quinoa, white beans, sundried tomatoes and mushrooms, plus champagne and more birthday cake. It was an incredible day and it was an honor to be part of such an occasion. Happy Birthday, Grandma!!!
