Hi, friends! How’s everyone doing in all this heat of summer? It’s so so hot here in Florida! On hot nights, I absolutely cannot fathom using my oven, and if I’m making something on the stove, it has to be quick! So that means I’m not cooking any meat! Vegetarian it is! Anyone else feel […]
It’s Farmer’s Market Day! Which means I come home with a bounty of the freshest fruits and vegetables. This week, we bought extra because I seem to be back on a soup making kick, so I wanted to make sure I had enough to make everything. I always have a Vegetable Lentil Soup on hand, […]
