Quick Minestrone Soup
Minestrone soup is one of my staple soups. In my recipe, I add extra veggies and beans for a heartier and healthier version. Feel free to add more vegetables than what I listed, like green beans, kale or spinach. You can skip the pasta or I add in a small amount for less processed carbs. […]
Pumpkin Brownies

There is no comparison to fresh salsa. In the summer, I make it weekly from garden veggies and we eat it with everything.
