Hello, my lovely readers. This is going to be a little bit of a personal post today, so feel free to skip ahead to the recipe =P Here I am in the big city. I’d like to say I’m not overwhelmed and that I’m adjusting well, but frankly, I’m not. I love my program so […]

Leek and Potato Soup
My brain must be backwards or something because I never seem to want food during the the right season. I want soup during the summer and fresh salads during the winter.
