I hope you all had a lovely weekend! To start, I would like to introduce y’all to one of my incredible sisters, Erin. Erin graduated as a pastry chef from Le Cordon Bleu in London England and is absolutely incredible in the kitchen! As a health nut herself, the recipes that she creates are unique, nutritious and DELICIOUS! She is such an inspiration for me to become a better cook for my family!
So it has been COLD here in H-town. Yes, I know I am Calgarian, but I have become a bit of a whimp since moving to Texas 😉 On days like these, there is nothing I love more than curling up with a blanket and a good book (which now a days are only kids books ;)) and enjoy a bowl of hot soup!
Try Erin’s incredible Roasted Heirloom Tomato Soup! More incredible recipes from Erin soon to come 🙂

1 medium white onion (diced)

Modifications:
I sometimes like adding a little extra kick by throwing in a few roasted red peppers before blending or a little smoked paprika!

Hey Kelly! I’ve been totally hooked on your bana-almond delight Smoothy recipe. I have been enjoying one every day for the past week or so and it has been keeping me full and satisfied all morning long. Can’t wait to try more delicious recipes from Le Cordon Pink and Bleu. So great!
Jackie,
I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying it! SO excited to get Le Cordon Pink and Bleu going! More Mommy and baby recipes soon 😉
Have a great day, Jackie and thank you for the kind comment!
