Tomato Basil Soup Recipe with Silk Soy Milk!
February 8, 2013 By 12 Comments
Here in Spokane it is cold and snowy right now. I tend to crave comfort foods this time of year. When I think of comfort foods my first thought is Tomato Basil Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. These could easily be two of my favorite food groups! I decided to make Tomato Basil Soup Recipe with Silk Soy Milk. I have been seeing a lot of information on the new flavor of Silk Soy milk and love all of the recipes on their website.
I headed to Walmart to pick up the essentials for making Tomato Basil Soup along with a few other grocery items. I was really amazed at how empty the store was. I was able to pick up everything I needed and not run into any huge lines. I guess that is the bonus for going grocery shopping after 9pm.

I Heart Bacon ~ 20+ Fantastic Bacon Recipes!
We are starting off 2013 with bacon! Bacon has become a cult fascination over the past few years. Everywhere you look there are Bacon t-shirts
As a vegetarian I never thought I would write a blog post about loving bacon. I have learned to cook bacon after being married to a meat eater for a few years. The first time I tried to cook bacon I had to call my Mom and ask how to do it. I probably should have thought that call through since she instantly asked who I was cooking the bacon for since I had been vegetarian over 10 years. I had to admit that I was dating John and it was getting serious. Who would have thought bacon would out our relationship to my parents.
