Minestrone Soup

Yesterday my boyfriend Arty and I stopped at Whole Foods and I picked up a minestrone soup mix. First off, we love Whole Foods! Since Arty has celiac disease, it's really easy to find gluten free products there, a lot more than in the local grocery store. Second, this soup mix was AMAZING! It was fresh cut vegetables, kale, and beans. By fresh I mean FRESH. All I had to do was add broth and a can of chopped tomatoes.

Silly me forgot to take any pictures of the mix before I started cooking it, my apologies.

My favorite kind of food is one where you can see the texture and colors of every ingredient.

I had a hot cup of Tazo Organic Green tea with lemon and honey, and I made a bottle of Tazo passion tea with lemon to leave in the fridge for work tomorrow.

Oh, and yesterday my mother was baking something and couldn't figure out what that "burning smell" was. Today we found out... still not sure what it actually is though! Maybe a sweet potato? What's your guess?
