My all time favorite of your soups is still the coconut curry apple and carrot. I make it and put in the freezer.
Thanks, Christine! So happy you have enjoyed this 🥰
Until your ridiculously easy bread recipes I have always been intimidated by anything requiring yeast. My grandmother gave me her Carmel dinner roll recipe (even measured it out and wrote it down for me since she never made them with a recipe :). They are NOT low cal, low carb or low fat but they are quite festive for the holidays when people aren't counting those things too much. I only tried them once and they came out like bricks! I was wondering if I sent you the recipe if you could 'dumb them down' for me so I can make them this holiday season. Thanks for your response.
So happy you've had success with our RE bread recipes, Mary! That makes me smile.
I'll be happy to look at the recipe, it sounds intriguing 😋
Always love reading about the new recipes first thing in the morning. I think I’ll try the Lasagna soup for tonight. Temps are coming down here in the west but still facing 🔥 fires drought and pandemic. Have a nice and cozy day. L
Hope you enjoy the soup, Linda! I hate to hear that you're still dealing with the fires! Yikes!
Love your recipes. Please stay safe during the pandemic AND the storms
Thank you, Mary! 🥰
