Warming The Soul

   The weather has been viciously cold in many parts of the United States this winter. If you are anything like me, that means hot delicious soup to warm the mind, body and soul. Soup is a comfort food staple and I feel like people are more drawn to it between October and March, that's especially true for my family. With Florida weather it's just almost too hot for soup any other time of year unless is storming and chilly out.

   Pinterest is my absolute favorite place to find new recipes, so I wanted to share a few of my soup pins with you. I've made all of these except one, which I'll make a note of below, and they've all turned out delicious.


1). Crab & Corn Chowder- This soup is absolutely delicious and hearty. For me, it was something different and unexpected. Growing up in Kentucky we didn't make soups like this, mom always served chili, potato, or broccoli cheddar soup because those are the southern specialties. If you make any of these soups, please make this one. Which reminds me, I need to put this on my menu for an upcoming week.

2). Cheeseburger Soup- Cheeseburger soup, let me just say that this is always a big hit. I went home to visit family for a bit recently and I made this soup twice in one week for them. My only suggestion with this recipe is DO NOT add any salt because you already have the sodium from the meat and velveeta.

3). Lasagna Soup- We've only tried this soup a couple of times and we did enjoy it. But if I'm going to be cooking with pasta noodles, I prefer to make a hearty Italian pasta dish instead.

4). Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup- In my house we LOVE this soup. Here's how I tweaked this one:
-Instead of sun dried tomatoes I used a can of petite diced tomatoes with basil. They are both delicious but I prefer the diced because they're not as expensive and they don't go to waste later.
-I also add in a pound of hot sausage just cooked and crumbled up. This will make the soup thicker but you can always add in more liquids to balance it out to your liking.

5). Chicken & Gnocchi Soup Olive Garden Copycat Recipe- I haven't had the chance to make this soup yet but I plan on it sometime soon. Every time my girlfriend and I go to Olive Garden for lunch this is the soup I get.

I would love for you to share some of your favorites by leaving a link to the recipe in the comments section  below.
HAPPY LONG WEEKEND...ENJOY!

Gracelynn Rose Designs & GIVEAWAY

Today I'm very excited to introduce everyone to Gracelynn Rose Designs! The owner, Stephanie, is one of my closest and dearest friends that I consider more of a sister. The first time we met it was instant friendship, now we've known each other for 5 years. Even though we're currently thousands of miles apart it's as if we never left. Swirly Pink Black Lampwork Swarovski Crystal Bracelet Stephanie has been designing her own jewelry since 2001 and selling it to customers along with a few stores. Each design is her own, delicately handcrafted, and unique. She did an entire jewelry line based on Twilight (which of course I loved every piece) that was so beautiful AND she sold a line of pearl & crystal bracelets to David's Bridal and those were stunning. For my birthday Stephanie sent me a pair of earrings in the mail and I fell in love with them and wear them every chance I get. Might I add that they are 1 of a kind, not another pair like them...   It...

Short on Inspiration?

HOLY COW! There is so much inspiration out there for denim shorts! Usually I'm more of a skirt/dress person in the spring and summer, but I'm just really feeling all the cool shorts out there and wanna be a part of it all. I wish you could all come to my house and have a big ole' DIY party, sip on mojitos, laugh, and have a good time. Instead it looks like the hubby is gonna be helping me out because I can't wait any longer to do this. Originally I was going to wait on this post until after I finished making the shorts, but I just couldn't wait. I mean can you tell how excited I am about this?  Okay, so I can't tell you ALL the ideas that are running around in my mind that I'm sure is run by mignons , then there would be no element of surprise. But here are a few... My two faves are the purple & green dyed and the flag shorts! Tonight I am going to the Airmen's Attic to scout around for good denim that I can turn around and destroy.
