baby, it's cold outside.

Canadian weather is temperamental. It's only November and we've already had our first blizzard! I finally have to accept that summer is over and it's time to bring out the boots, hot chocolate and shovels.

I've been eating a lot more soups too now that the weather is colder. It's one of the easiest, healthiest dishes students can throw together quickly between classes. That's exactly what Sophie and I did.

Here's how she made hers:

1. boil vegetables until soft (potatoes are highly recommended- they add so much flavour and a great texture!)
2. blend the heck out of them
3. put it back in a pot (thin out soup with desired amount of liquid)
4. optional: add cream or milk to make it taste extra creamy!

For decoration:

• it's recommended to use 35% cream; I tried to use whipping cream, but it didn't turn out as nice.
• I also like to add garlic Naan Bread as side.You could definitely be creative with the side dish, sandwich, toast, anything could go well with soup.

carrots, celery, potato, and all vegetables in my fridge

I'm a little lazier with my method.

1. throw kabucha pumpkin, frozen spinach, garlic powder, salt and pepper to boiling water
2. wait till the water is boiled (15-20 minutes?)
3. eat!

Some disadvantages of soup? You get hungry pretty quickly. What's a girl to do?



Eat then repeat.

I am a city girl at heart. Give me bright neon lights, skyscrapers and busy streets over a quiet town any day. But sometimes, I like to get in touch with Mother Nature. There's something about breathing in fresh air and finding peace in a secluded forest.

Last weekend, I went hiking in Kelso Park. I was reminded that nature is pretty amazing when you let it be.
