Happy Monday everyone!
A new week has begun and I am here for it. I have my menu planner all filled out and ready to go. I have a couple of new recipes that I am trying this week too, so I will share them soon, if they are good! It is officially fall and the start of soup season, in my book. I LOVE soup! In the colder months, especially! It makes a cozy dinner paired with our favorite quick breadsticks or easy buttermilk cornbread. This week I am making this ‘Slimming Turkey Kale Soup’ from my Food Babe Kitchen cookbook. It is simple, healthy and really hits the spot.
At lunch I am looking for a filling, nutritious meal and this Slimming Turkey Soup fits the bill perfectly! This soup is so easy to make, freezes great and heats up beautifully.
What are your favorite healthy lunches?
