The other day I got one of those One Year Ago Face Book memory posts reminding me of the biggest snowstorm we had last year.
We had sooooooo much fun during that snowstorm…
Kate and Jack all smiles.
With our buds.
Girl down!
Right now it’s been around 55 degrees, sunny, and I’m not even wearing a winter jacket.
I’m still holding out for just one big snow storm before winter ends (I know, we got time!) so I can retreat in my house, bundle up and eat soup. Soup just goes with winter, doesn’t it?
If you are with me on this one, I have the best soup recipe for you!
So far one of the biggest hits of the Winter Renewal 10 Day Detox has been the Winter Minestrone.
Winter Minestrone…
• is simple to make
• is plant-based and anti-inflammatory
• uses only fresh ingredients
• and the ingredients are cheap (great for your wallet!)
Oh, and I can’t leave this out… Winter Minestrone is DELISH!
You have your healthy carbs (leeks, tomatoes, squash), protein (beans- 22 grams of protein in one serving!)) and fats (olive oil) all in one dish.
