Simple Yet Gourmet

After a beautiful fall Sunday, we have been slapped into winter with snow and 15 degree temperatures. Nothing like a easing us into winter! So what better way to enjoy such a cold day than with a warm bowl of soup and hot bread from the oven. Mike loves corn chowder, but I am NOT a fan, but this recipe I really like, and have made more than once. My kids even ask for this when I suggest soup for dinner.  Super easy to make and it hits just the right spot of these cold snowy days!  Enjoy.

Are you guys sick of pumpkin recipes yet?  Me neither!  It seems there are a plethora of sweet recipes made from pumpkin around this time of year, which all look amazing, but sometimes I need something healthy and good for you too.  Know what I mean?  This was a great smoothie!  Lots of protein to keep you full and a delicious pumpkin flavor.  I wouldn't say it tastes exactly like pumpkin pie because lets be honest, it wouldn't be healthy if it did.  Still, it had the flavors of pumpkin and cinnamon that I love at this time of year and it kept me full for hours!  We'll make this again for sure!
