Italian Meatball Soup

This post has been sponsored by Barilla America, Inc. All thoughts and opinions are my

own.

This is truly my favorite time of year. It’s a time when the holidays bring friends and families together from all over, food is shared, and it’s just so special. Truly nothing brings me more joy than creating a meal made with love and serving it to my guests. I love creating a dish that simmers all day, like my Italian Meatball Soup to be eaten with Mulino Bianco® Sfilati Tomato Breadsticks and to be enjoyed by all! The house smells of warmth and love and everyone leaves with happy bellies. My Italian Meatball Soup is truly one of those heart warming meals that is perfect when you have a house full of loved ones.

Easy Homemade Beef Chili

Halloween is this week and we got in the spirit by carving pumpkins over the weekend! Parks wanted no part of scooping out the insides (ha) but he was super into helping daddy decide on the facial expressions that each pumpkin should have! We went with one silly face and one spooky face, by request! Do you have traditions each year that your family does for Halloween? Carving pumpkins is definitely one of those things for us along with making a big pot of chili on the actual day of Halloween! My easy homemade beef chili is the perfect soup to make this week to warm you up after you and your kiddos have been trick or treating!

Top Ten Favorite Fall Soups

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!

Simple Pork and Spinach Miso Ramen

April has been an odd month for me, not in a bad way, just really busy!  I was out of town, my mom came in town, and now tomorrow I go back out of town again!  And now tomorrow, I am headed to Los Angeles for my first ever blogging conference and I couldn't be more excited!  I cannot wait to connect with my fellow peers and I know I am going to learn so much!  If you saw my Instagram, then you already know my office space got a revamp, so I am super pumped about going to this conference and coming back super inspired and ready to work!  And the reason I am telling you all about my travels this week is because when schedules get busy, dinner needs to be simple and if it can be healthy to, even better!  My simple pork and spinach miso ramen is to the rescue!

Beef and Vegetable Soup

Beef and Vegetable Soup

Homemade Beef and Vegetable Soup

Happy New Year Friends!  We have literally been out of town for almost a full two weeks and I am slowly getting back into the swing of things.  Not to mention that it is COLD here in Texas, which basically never happens, and I know what you northerners are thinking...it can't be that cold, but guys...the temp went down to 23 degrees last night!  I don't care where you live, that is cold, especially to those of us who are used to mild winters!  So while I am definitely hopping back on the healthy food wagon this week, I need some stick to your bones kinda food...because hello cold weather!  My homemade beef and vegetable soup is exactly the kind of meal that we all need in our lives right about now and you need to make it ASAP!
