I’ve been on a journey these past few months. One that I thought I would never take. It’s been such a marvelous journey and I have learned so much along the way.
This journey is one towards health. It’s one towards a leaner more fit me. I had truly given up. I had battled my weight for decades, practically since my youngest daughter’s birth.
I tried over and over diet after diet. I just couldn’t stick with them or make traction, until recently.
Since then, I’ve discovered so much I can accomplish. I’m turning my ‘I can’t’ into ‘I can!’
This recipe I made this evening for Dearest and I to enjoy. He’s following the same program I am and we couldn’t be more happier.
This recipe incorporates vegetables I didn’t use often because I didn’t think he would like them. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d like them so much.
One of them is cauliflower. For some reason, I thought I really didn’t like it. Now, it’s so popular and versatile. It truly is a wonderful replacement for starchier side dishes.
The other is spinach. I love spinach, but Dearest, not so much.
This soup recipe incorporates them both beautifully. This soup is so much like Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana, but healthier.
