Cold Weather Meals

Happy Friday!

Less than a week until Thanksgiving is here and I can't believe it snuck up so fast this year!

Look what I found in my garage... well actually Kujo found it.
That is a salamander. Didn't think they could survive the winter months in Wisconsin??? Either way I couldn't find myself to put it outside, I actually let it be, not sure if it will live or die?!!?

Moving on to some yummier things....

My favorite meal in the winter...

Vegan Chili, lots of veggies (lunch portion)
Find my Chili Recipe HERE.

I had some sweet potatoes that I needed to use up as well as some other random ingredients that went along very well with Averie's recipe for Savory Pumpkin, Potato & Carrot Soup.

I used what I had on hand and didn't follow her recipe exactly but I am sure it was pretty much the same soup. 

I used 3 Sweet Potatoes (chopped)
1 can of pinto beans
and 1/2 can pumpkin that I had leftover
1 C carrots (chopped)
Cumin
salt & pepper to taste
Red Pepper flakes
and some other spicy/savory seasonings on hand
4 C of water
1 cup of vegetable broth as well was mixed in


A great cold weather soup. Couldn't taste pumpkin at all.

Delicious!
