Okay, so January was National Soup Month, but (surprisingly) the people on the holiday scheduling committee decided that soup needed more attention. Today is Homemade Soup Day!
These are my top soups that I like to make from scratch:
Broccoli Cheddar with Sausage
Beef Vegetable
Salmon Corn Chowder
What is your favorite soup to enjoy on a cold rainy day? If you have any leftovers, take some to work in your insulated food jar or travel tumbler:
The average person doesn’t typically use an architect scale ruler– we tend to stick to just a regular ol’ ruler or tape measure. To be honest with you, I hadn’t even heard of these unique rulers until just a few years ago!
What do you think their best features are?
Ability to quickly translate the measurements on a blueprint
They are small and portable (ie: pocket-friendly!)
They come in both rigid and flexible styles
Bonusfeature #4: They can be imprinted with your company’s logo!
Did you make a New Year’s resolution to eat healthier? One way to keep this promise up all year long is to start drinking healthy, detoxifying green juices. They will give you much needed nutrients and energy to keep you going all day long.
Top ingredients to include in your recipe:
Dark leafy greens: Spinach or kale
Veggies: Cucumber, celery
Fruits: green apples, avocado
Spice it up with: Lime, ginger, jalapeno
Your first jab at making a green juice might not be perfect, so play with the proportions of the ingredients to make the flavor how you like it. Or, if you don’t want to invest in a juicer, go ahead and grab a freshly made bottle at your local grocery store or coffee shop. Once you find a recipe you like, keep it cold in any of these travel tumblers and go about your day feeling refreshed and healthy!
Mmmm… what better way to warm up in the winter months than to eat a cozy, hearty soup? January is dubbed National Soup Month, so how about making a different one each week?
On my menu this week is Broccoli Cheddar Soup, which will stay warm in my travel tumbler or travel Thermos food jar if I need to eat lunch on-the-go.
