Spicy Sausage Soup with Kale and Gnocchi

This cold and yucky weather leaves me wanting something comforting… but not guilty! That’s why I invented this yummy and completely guilt free soup! It has super foods like kale, which is a rich source of vitamins and will help stave off those nasty infections that we want to keep far away from our homes! I hope you enjoy this soup as much as I did. It is surprisingly filling, which is one of the reasons I love it!

My Secret Family Recipe for Cranberries

Since it’s ALMOST Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday because Thanksgiving = food) I thought I would share my “secret” family recipe for cranberries. I don’t believe in secret recipes because I think it’s dumb. I love to share my recipes (obviously) because 1. Why wouldn’t you want to share them with someone? I want everyone to eat something delicious! And 2. You totally get credit for the recipe when someone makes it!

 

My mom and I make these cranberries for Thanksgiving and sometimes Christmas every year. This recipe came from my great grandmother. My mom’s dad’s mother. So my grandfather’s mother. Grandmom Deane. DISCLAIMER: This recipe is the most un-paleo recipe of all time. You’ve been warned. But it is delicious and warms my soul and that’s worth it.

Chimichurri is an Argentinian sauce and is traditionally made with parsley, but I really like it with cilantro too. It is such a beautiful color and I just love everything about it!
