We all know that feeling… the feeling that we are coming down with something. When you least expects it, BANG, it hits… THE COMMON COLD!
Prep Day #4 – Homemade Vegetable beef soup
Nothing warms your body and soul like an homemade soup! Soups and stews are very popular at my house during winter time.

Prep day #3 – Chicken Pot Pie soup
Even though we had some nice warm weather in the last few weeks, winter is not done yet. The last few days were very cold and called for a very hot comforting meal. This is why I decided to make a slow cooker Chicken Pot pie soup. Tastes like chicken pot pie filling minus the crust.
