Oh baby it's snowing outside better make some soup!

We're in the middle of a Winter storm. Six inches of snow by tomorrow. Soup just sounds so snuggle warm. For a heart healthy choice I made this Curried Corn Soup with Spicy Chile-Ginger Sauce. My first time making it. Only around 141 calories per serving. It had a little bit to it and quite filling. Love it! Even my husband loved it. Shhhhh, don't tell him I used coconut oil in the soup. He doesn't like coconut anything. What he doesn't know won't hurt him. Hah hah hah! We'll even have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

I like to do more of this

I just read this refreshing idea. It's to take time to drink your tea or coffee outside. Especially in the morning. The article said that traditional Chinese Medicine holds that morning energy is the purest; getting outside helps to reenergize in a meaningful way. This makes you in touch with each season and your surrounding environment. I love drinking my tea in the warmer months outside but, in the cold months I just look out the bay window in my living room. It's a beautiful view of the woods and creek. What a super habit to get into to motivate you for the rest of the day. Maybe, if it gets above freezing I will drink my tea outside tomorrow and Chaco can play ball for a couple of minutes.
