Nourishing Zuppa Toscana Soup

Nourishing Zuppa Toscana Soup

Olive Garden has this wonderful soup that can be duplicated at home but with nourishing ingredients. It’s one of my favorite winter time staples. I have adapted the copycat recipe to make this Nourishing Zuppa Toscana Soup. Or you might otherwise know this soup as Sausage, Kale and Potato soup. 
Ingredients
  1. 1 large onion, diced
  2. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  3. 1 lb pastured sausage (I prefer spicy but mild will work too.)
  4. 2 large russet baking potatoes, cut into small cubes
  5. 1 bunch of kale, chopped
  6. 6 cup chicken bone broth
  7. 1 tsp sea salt
  8. 1/2 tsp black pepper
  9. 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
  1. Brown sausage along with onions and garlic in a large soup pot.
  2. Add potatoes and chicken bone broth to pot.
  3. Cook on medium heat until potatoes are done (approx 15 minutes).
  4. Salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add kale and cream.
  6. Simmer for another 10 minutes and serve.

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas If you need a protein, fiber packed snack, Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas is an easy one to satisfy a sweet tooth as well! I like to soak my chickpeas overnight in warm water with a bit of whey prior to cooking them. This helps break down the phytic acid.  This is a very forgiving recipe and you can change it up adding your favorite seasoning. If you like spicy, try adding some chili powder. Ingredients 2 cups of soaked and cooked chickpeas or grab a can of garbanzo beans 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Instructions Preheat oven to 375°F. Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a colander. Mix honey, cinnamon, melted coconut oil, cinnamon and salt. Toss chickpeas in the mixture. Spread chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or up to 15 minutes longer if you want them crispy.

Amazed again!

I was speaking to Don, the owner of the lot we purchased today and he exclaimed, I know someone that knows you! Gina Patterson! Hmmm...I know I'm pregnant and losing some brain cells slowly but the name didn't ring a bell. I told him that I had no idea who that was and then he cautiously asked, how are things with the baby? I said, Great, although, we did have a scare a few weeks ago. I told him the story but then affirmed that we had some amazing prayer warriors petitioning on behalf of Lana and I and God heard the prayers and the problem disappeared. Then he said, well, that's how I thought you know Gina. I received an email from her asking to pray for you and your baby. I was afraid to ask about the baby in fear that something bad may have happened. So somehow through a course of prayer chains, emails, and phone calls, this prayer warrior saint, Gina, received word about my situation and then turned on her list of prayer warriors to get them interceding on our behal...

Spring

It's hard to believe we've been in TN for almost 10 months. We've just about made it through all the season. I have to admit that it was quite beautiful to experience the fall leaves for more than a day that we might have seen in Charleston. The winter was a rough initiation but I made it. I'm pretty sure I made every attempt not to leave the house, but the snow pretty much helped with that. It seems that the seasons have changed once again overnight. Literally, in one day, the leaves on the tree next to our house have gone from barren to full of green. Bushes and trees are flowering everywhere. There's something so refreshing about spring. While all the seasons are beautiful, spring represents new life. What a perfect time for Lana to arrive!
