What’s better than hot soup on a snow day!!!! Well, I’m actually getting a small case of cabin fever. Salon was closed today due to all of this powder!! I have had all day to cook, clean & bake…..& cook, clean & bake….you get the idea?! This all came about by looking to see what I had in the fridge & poof…Paleo Vegetable Soup!
