Kale Sausage Soup


I absolutely love soup, especially as it starts to get cold out. There's just something comforting about sitting down to a hot bowl of soup in the evening. It's even better with fresh buns, which I did not have tonight, but it's still great without. Tonight's soup was a hit even with my picky boys, they both ate up and asked for more! Mom win!

This is by far the best soup that I have ever made without following a recipe!
Lucky for you, I kept track of what I put in so that I can share the recipe! I've decided that I need to reduce my carbs again, not going full keto, just low carbs, so I made this recipe basically keto friendly. I did add vermicelli noodles to mine, but it's easy to leave them out and make it totally keto friendly.

 Having freeze dried ingredients always on hand make soup so much easier! Tonight we had back to back hockey practices which put us at home late for dinner with two starving boys. I made this while one was in the shower and the other practiced spelling. It was ready before the shower was finished.


Ingredients: (all of these are Thrive ingredients, you could use fresh or frozen if you prefer, I just like how fast and easy it is with freeze dried):
6 cups water
3 tablespoons chicken bouillon
1/2 cup carrot dices
1/2 cup green beans
1 cup kale
3/4 cup sausage crumbles
I also added some vermicelli noodles, but if you're going for keto, just leave them out.

1. First mix bouillon into water so that you have no clumps.
2. Add remaining ingredients, and bring to boil.
3. Maintain a low boil for about 10 min, or until the carrots are soft (they are dehydrated so they take a bit longer than the rest)
My soup mixing on the stove. 
4. Enjoy!

It's about time I finally got you another meal-in-a-jar. This is a recipe I got from my cousin while we were visiting her for a family reunion. Between the two of us, we have six kids and all six of them ate this and asked for more! That's a huge hit in my book, so I definitely needed the recipe. I made 6 jars so that I have lots for my pantry because I know my kids are going to want to eat this over and over. The one adjustment I made was not adding green chilies, and that's only because I didn't have any, not because I don't want them. Once I have some in stock, I will definitely add them to the jars.  As always, this recipe uses ingredients that are on sale from Thrive Life Foods this month. The instant rice is one of the items on sale, but I didn't have any on hand, so I just grabbed some from my local grocery store, use whichever is convenient for you.  I also don't have packages of taco seasoning, which is what the recipe calls for, I use it oft

Beef Stew Meal-In-A-Jar

Image
My meal in a jar recipe for February is a traditional beef stew, like my mom always made when we were growing up. There are a few adjustments that you can make depending on how you are going to eat prepare and eat this meal, but however you do it, it's going to be classic and delicious!   We are currently in a nasty cold streak with daily highs around -20 Celsius and wind chills that often take our lows to -40 Celsius. In the midst of this cold snap, we had a hockey tournament. Just when you want to curl up with a good book all weekend, we are going back and for from home to rink, without much break between. Between games, I decided to make this recipe and throw it in the crock pot so that it would be ready when we came home and were in need of something to warm our bones. When I put it in the crock pot, I made a few adjustments that I'll explain. For a quick boil and serve meal, follow the instructions in the graphic. If you want adjustments for the crockpot, keep readin

Forgiveness

Just a random picture that I like (no it's not my husband that I'm talking about!) Okay, so I'm not one to get easily offended. Mostly I just let things slide (It's taken some work to get to this point). But when I do get offended, it really cuts deep and I have a hard time letting it go. There are only a few things that can bother me, and even then, it's really only comments from the people I care about that affect me. ('Cause let's be real, if I don't know the person, then they don't really know me and there opinion is basically meaningless). But sometimes I find someone really does strike that cord and it's hard for me to let go. I really want to get past this and find a way to not be so hurt by things. Recently I have had a person in my life say a few things (a few different things over time) that have really hurt me and I'm trying not to hold a grudge, but everytime I find myself feeling better about things and wanting to be around th
