We had a huge bunch of sweet potatoes from our garden (a few pictured above!) and given that it's soup season, I wanted to make something really rich and creamy with them... but also healthy. This soup hit the spot with lots of flavor and nutrients and color and all the things you want in a fall soup dinner.
A weeknight dinner that you can throw in the slow cooker in the morning and not think about for the rest of the day is my kind of jam. A hint of sweetness from the honey with the earthiness of the garlic in this dish is *chef's kiss* I promise you! I made this again last week and forgot just how great it is.
Happy Friday! We have a fun weekend planned full of exciting events like an 80s-themed 40th birthday party, a monster truck show (for Luca) and an American Girl Doll salon appointment (for Amalia), and more, if you can believe it.
I don't have anything too excited to report on this week. I just put my head down and banged out weeks' worth of work that I was behind on for clients and for me.
We went apple picking this past weekend and I started frantically Googling recipes since we have approximately 713 apples and I can only give away so many. I pulled together a list of 20 savory dinner recipes, delicious desserts, and delectable drinks.
