Peas Please

My go to soup when I have cold is of course matzoh ball soup, but I was in the mood to create something from scratch instead of using a boxed mix.

I found a new recipe that is simple but will sweep you off your feet.

Add some onion, celery and green onions to a pot and stir with a dash of olive oil for a few minutes.

Add 3 cups of broth (veggie or chicken) and 4 cups of peas.

Bring to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes.

Then blend in a blender, or with a hand blender, to your desired consistency.

I topped mine with some pepper, garlic and chives.

Perfect served hot or cold!

Getting Warm

I don’t know about you but I am not adjusting well to the cold. This weekend I kept very busy to avoid sitting in my freezing apartment. I ran lots of errands, went for a hike, exercised at the gym and I even bought sweaters!

I also got my haircut – where I knew there would be lovely heat from the blow dryer.

I also made a hot meal of ground turkey and tomato sauce over half of an acorn squash.

And I made sure to get plenty of cuddles from this little one.

Now time to get warm with my space heater at work!

Happy Monday!
