I absolutely LOVE making a Soup of the Week, it’s been so much fun, and so enjoyable to snack on throughout the week. We have two under two in my household, which means everyone always has a low-level cold — a fall themed soup is a lifesaver. This week, we’re featuring the most basic of all the fall soups… ROASTED PUMPKIN! …

Welcome to Week 2 of Soup Season. This one is simple, yet packed with flavor. Our two main ingredients for this creamy cauliflower delight: cauliflower (obviously) and a can of coconut milk. My batches always come out a bit more yellow than I had plan (thanks to 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric) but still extremely tasty — even if bowls look like they belong in a laboratory. Enjoy!…

One of my goals this year is to read 52 books. I’m thrilled to be able to say I just crossed the halfway mark, and figured I’d update you on what I’ve read so far and what I’ve rated each book. Maybe it’ll inspire you for your next read!

As of today, Missouri is rolling out Phase I of Opening Up. However, it won’t really change our day to day for the foreseeable future. Nomesie’s daycare still hasn’t decided when to reopen, my husband’s WFH situation isn’t changing, and our favorite SAHM activities (even simple ones like story-time at the library, splitting a croissant at a coffee shop, indoor play-spaces, etc.) are still a no-go.
