Happy October! It’s officially soup season if you ask me and even thought it’s hotter than fall should technically be here in Texas! We have had a very rainy start to the season which has been perfect for making my favorite soups and getting me in the mood for all things pumpkin and cozy despite the heat. I sure love summertime, but I also really love fall. There is something about the season that just feels comforting and homey right? October is the month that Parks was born, cooler temps hopefully show up, and my favorite holidays are not far away! To kickstart the month, I have rounded up my top ten favorite fall soups to help you get in the cozy kitchen mode too!
Happy New Year guys! I hope that your holiday was filled with as much love and joy as ours was! I still can't believe that it's January and a new year is here! I have been furiously working away on my cookbook which is why I have been absent from the blogging world for the past little bit, but I figured with the start of the new year this would be a great opportunity to share with you some of my favorite recipes to whip up when I am trying to focus on my health! And I'm guessing if your holiday was anything like mine, you are probably ready for some lighter meals...am I right? I've got my top 15 favorite healthy recipes right here!
How was your weekend? I hope that for those of you in the North, you got some extra blankets and some extra groceries for that snow storm that is coming! I do not envy you! It's going to be 65 degrees here this week...but I won't rub it in. We were in Houston over the weekend, because in case you missed it, we are moving there and things just got REAL real! We checked out some areas and potential houses to buy and of course ate things like Mexican food and got ice cream on our drive home yesterday...not the best end to my healthy foodspiration week...but today is a new day. This week we will be eating things like salad and bowls of my healthy shrimp and corn chowder to get back on track!
I love shrimp and corn chowder, and it might be Canean's favorite soup to eat! But usually it is so packed with heavy cream and butter that I rarely indulge because quite frankly I'd rather spend my calories elsewhere than on one bowl of soup! I figured it can't be that hard to make an at home version a lot healthier, so that is exactly what I did!
