Everyone thinks the Christmas holidays is the only time period where you pack on pounds because of food. This statement may be true when you look at other holidays like Easter, St. Patrick’s Day and New Year’s Eve, but what about Thanksgiving?...
I made this for a pot luck dinner. It was super easy and delicious. I think it makes closer to 18 rather than 12, especially when you leave room for the cherry topping.
A new twist on classic creamy carrot soup. Add a bit of lime juice for extra zing.
