Minestrone Soup

Minestrone Soup will give you a big dose of vegetables! Pair it with some crusty bread and you're all set! Find the recipe by Tracy Benjamin on Shutterbean.com

When I worked in an office, I brought a lot of Minestrone Soup to work.  I made it so much that I got sick of it and then reserved my minestrone soup consuming to restaurants. All this to say, I haven’t had minestrone soup in a long time and I am now making it at home again. YAY. 

Minestrone Soup will give you a big dose of vegetables! Pair it with some crusty bread and you're all set! Find the recipe by Tracy Benjamin on Shutterbean.com

I also gave myself a goal to make a soup on my Spring Bucket List so here it is!

It’s a good soup if you have carrots and celery in your fridge that need a purpose. It’s also great when it’s a chilly Spring day and you need to warm up! LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE VEGETABLES!

Currently March 2022

March was filled with hangouts & coffee dates. March gave me some hope. Mostly because the weather was sunny and I am in love with my yard again. The birds are chirping, I have seen a few butterflies, rabbits, more deer, a bobcat, and a new cat friend visitor (besides Beans!).  We celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary and Casey turned 45 this month! 

This month in my Currently Workbook I play around with black gesso, pens and paint pens.

Blossom season!  I got a new tiger’s eye necklace from Elevate and taped the magic in my book.
