TIME TO SPRING CLEAN MY LIFE<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'PT Serif', serif; font-size: 16px;">Do You Ever Just Look At Your Life.............</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'PT Serif', serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'PT Serif', serif; font-size: 16px;">Am I happy - What is Happy? Cliche I know!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'PT Serif', serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'PT Serif', serif; font-size: 16px;">I'm very grateful, blessed my children are happy healthy, strong and independent. I have a lovely home great friends and from the outside, it looks good. I'm trying to have a good healthy balanced diet, back on the exercise train, lots of water, less sugar, getting more laughter in life again and lots of love for my friend's, my children, family and myself. Yet something is missing. I know life goes in ebbs and flows but it just feels like I need change. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'PT Serif', serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'PT Serif', serif; font-size: 16px;">I'm not all emotional just as if I'm watching my life and not feeling connected. Thinking of taking a road trip and trying to find that spark again. Let my creativity soar. It seems like a good time of year to do it. Spring right - new beginnings. I already have a good bit of spring cleaning done at home, work projects in the complete file so why not? SPRING CLEAN MY LIFE! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: medium;">Happy Sunday! I hope all going well and that you enjoyed your St. Patricks Day! Myself I laid low - tummy felt "OFF" Mike's too - maybe from traveling? All better now! Que the fireworks - <b><span style="color: magenta;">Today is my 30th day of my self-proclaimed workout challenge. I DID IT!</span></b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: medium;">In a nutshell, I had to do 30 min or 10K steps of some form of exercise every day for 30 days in a row. Like Friday night- it was soooooo hard to drag myself outside but just got those steps in like 10, 022 - done. Honestly, I could have fibbed - I mean what's one day? But it's the part of making a promise to yourself - I'd know I wasn't being honest so off I went - slow but steady and finished. I am cutting back on some foods adding healthier options. Sugar man - it's my nemesis I've dangled the <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/117338484400239480369" target="_blank">+GUCCI</a> carrot in front of myself for those Marmot <span style="color: magenta;">HOT PINK</span> mules and GG Blooms Belt - working like a charm! Tysons Corner here I come! BTW why don't they answer the phone there? Called Fri. Sat. 3 -4 times each hmmmmmmmm?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: medium;">Obviously, I cannot splurge on my victories like that all the time so, I will find new goal oriented motivators (<span style="color: magenta;"><b>Like new yoga pants - green drinks "to go" & HEY IF YOU JOIN ME MAYBE I CAN OFFER A PRIZE FOR A FEW OF YOU TOO COMMENT BELOW TO BE IN THE RUNNING</b></span>) but this was a great one to start off with for sure! HEHE Follow my <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/107465225766858733923" target="_blank">+Instagram</a> @loriannmd to see the pure joy when I get my "PRIZE" in my hot little hands!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Part of my lifestyle change is to add 2/3 veggies at all meals - eat good carbs less animal meat - already pretty much there chicken 1 time a week or organic lamb now and again and a bit of Mike's steak when we have grass fed organic prime around. Here is dinner last night - my body was craving crunchy veggies.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Begin by julienne carrots & ginger sliced jalapenos, cabbage (I'd use Nappa next time but left over from St. Patty's day) clean peeled snap peas and any other crucibles you have laying around.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Saute in batches - canola oil and a bit of sesame oil ginger carrots and jalapeno first - take off heat and put in a bowl - next cabbage gets color on them DO NOT COVER we don't want stewed we want CRUNCH! set aside you may need to do cabbage in two batches as well depending on amount and size of pan - than snap peas alone at end toss all back in hot pan with bit more of your oils add soy/tamari hot chili paste etc. then off heat to stop cooking in shallow wide bowl (cools quicker) top with cashew or almond pieces maybe some of those Asian crispy wontons and look there? Healthy Veggie Focused Dinner! To make complete add toasted cooked Quinoa.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Anyway, this leads me to my post - all of my kids are outta the house 3 boys and my baby girl (just 21....whaaaatttt) I still love to buy them things for the house and get them some cool clothes. They fit so well in the chic minimalist euro looks that you'll see below. Don't get me wrong - Mike & I love a good brunch and we do a killer one <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/108073455943481059150" target="_blank">+The Tasting Room</a> but it's not my life anymore - like it is for them. Joe told me about <b><u>Manmosa's</u></b> - basically a Mimosa with shot of vodka! (<i>see below</i>) Now that's a hair of the dog. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: "source sans pro";">A top shelf quality hangover cure</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "source sans pro";"> (really just prolonging the inevitable who is he kidding). So while your out "brunching" why not look fab - like your not even trying and not breaking the bank. Check out these cool stuff for that spring brunch date either out or hosted at home. DON'T FORGET THE SUNGLASSES THOUGH! </span></span><br />

It has been really hard some days - ABE our Newfie pup is loving it but like yesterday as temps dropped - I cringed going outside. I had to do the last 2k in basement on treadmill. Seriously it was all I could do to reach that goal - some days easier than others for sure. <i>Like above on first nice day- I was a walking fool.</i> It's especially difficult after a long day - cleaning, PR work, dog training, making dinner. Happy to do all these things it's just I get tired really tired. Next week will be even busier so I need to get some good sleep. Also make doing detox baths lots of fruit-veggies will be key - maybe sneak some acupressure in and cut back on the sugar.</div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Speaking of sugar.....are you addicted to sugar? </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #474747; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #474747; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I AM! You’re not alone. In 2007 a group of researchers found that sugar surpasses what is called “cocaine reward” in most mammals, including rats and humans. The frightening result of this study is the conclusion that <strong style="font-size: 12pt;">sugar is more addictive than cocaine. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #474747; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">Although sugar does not contain opiates (like other addictive substances such as heroin) it does stimulate the release of endogenous opiates. Opiates and their receptors have largely been attributed to what is known as “reward.” When the opiate receptor is filled over and over again, we feel a sense of pleasure and reward. No matter how harmful a food or substance may be to the body, this sensation of pleasure keeps us coming back for more, while at the same time altering our brain chemistry.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #474747;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><br clear="none" style="color: #474747;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #474747; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">Can't kick your sugar habit? You're not alone. Statistics show that in 1822, the average person consumed 6.3 pounds of sugar per year. However, by 1999, the average person consumed 107.7 pounds of sugar per year! In fact, Stephen Guyenet, a neuro-biologist at the University of Washington, predicts that if we continue eating sugar with as much enthusiasm as we have over the last 200 years, by the year 2606 the U.S. diet will be 100% sugar. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #474747;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><br clear="none" style="color: #474747;" /></span>
<span style="color: #474747; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;">The mis-education about the dangers of sugar consumption is widespread. It is in the school systems, the home, and even the medical community. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #474747; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #474747; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">Like any addiction, change happens when we realize that we are greater than the sum of the chemicals in our body. This can be tough to swallow - especially when it comes to breaking habits and ending addiction. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #474747;"> Sugar as an addiction is strange concept for most of us.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #474747; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">So how do we beat this? In addition to determination and discipline, here are some helpful tips. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #474747;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #474747; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span style="color: magenta;"><br clear="none" /></span></strong><span style="color: #474747;">1. Eat sour foods. The sour taste of some foods, like apple cider vinegar ACV this will naturally curb your cravings for sugar.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #474747;"> I mix some with warm water and drink slowly (not on </span><span style="color: #474747;">empty stomach to acidic for me) in the morning. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br clear="none" style="color: #474747;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #474747; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">2. I also eat fermented foods and probiotic beverages. Fermented foods are sour, easy to make- see this book <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=-zmLa205d0QC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false" target="_blank">art of fermentation </a> and they are relatively affordable. </span><span style="color: #474747; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">Probiotic beverages also taste sour, and even a small dosage goes a long way. Both are full of beneficial bacteria, which drive out disease-causing bugs that increase our desire for sugar.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #474747;"> I will be back to <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/117958349736477723740" target="_blank">+HEX Ferments</a> this weekend to restock! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">This post is a "just cuz" one. If you know me; you know I love the colors Pink, White, Black and adore me some Glitter! So all these "faux" Christmas trees that have been on trend lately just make me plain happy - plus pre-lit and no needles, use again next year, <b>win win</b>. (I know dad nothing beats real but........) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Gosh I love a White pre-lit with white lights tree or even a <span style="color: magenta;"><b>bubble gum pink tree</b></span>! Que angels singing! "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" check out these examples I found online surfing.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Putting up our tree this weekend - a bit late this year due to travel and family priorities. With our pup Abe @abethenewfoundland still just using the 6ft White Tree I purchased from Walmart few years back! Want to get Pink Tree too but may wait and see how he handles the ornaments this year first. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Trying to set up family picture tomorrow as well - its just gonna be Abe, Mike and myself. Since kids grown and outta house all over the place this will have to do. Check instagram tomorrow for that one! Tell me how your gonna decorate - do you have more than one tree? Traditional, rustic, modern, vintage..... I'd love to see your pictures and get your thoughts .</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This year I am beginning a new tradition of adopting a few families in need over the holiday season and taking on job as <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>ELF in training</b> </span>and trying my best to help Santa fulfill their Christmas List. What better way to feel the spirit of Christmas, right? I know it sounds cliche but I really am getting so much more out of this than I can put into words. God has blessed me so much that I just want to give. Give back, give my time, give my help, just GIVE of myself. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">However while doing my "<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">elf duties</span></b>" feeling like this calls for a fantastic <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">RED LIP</span></b> & some festive clothes. Get me more in the mood. So take a minute to smile more, pause and admire all the lights & decor and to tell those near and dear how much you love them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Below is just a little vignette I created on Polyvore (love you Poly)! That makes me smile. Crazy for <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/108066340820067780391" target="_blank">+Kevyn Aucoin</a> lip pencils, lipsticks and glosses - <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/110336435589621384934" target="_blank">+NYX Professional Makeup</a> has some great products too on the cheap people - </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"FO REAL"! So bundle up today my friends - throw on a perfect smile, grab a loved one, get some hot cocoa and have a great weekend! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So my sabbatical lasted a bit longer than expected - sometimes <b>"life happens" </b>but happy to say I am back and really excited about this Fall / Winter 2016 season. I have been really changing my diet and my tummy thanks me! Tons of <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>veggies, green soups & </b></span>quinoa tons of ways. My new favorite Mike (the hubby) showed me is to saute garlic, almonds, quinoa ( kinda toast the grain) than add your water and simmer for 12 min. - <u>always go 2-3 min less than they say!</u> We added curry powder, cayenne, cardamon and it is flippin fabulous ladies! I add it to my salads ( will be sharing great new salads ) soups and just by it self. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Focusing on health - my diet is pretty much in order just need to exercise regularly and increase energy. I am getting hormone levels checked again this month and dealing with normal changes, I don't want to get crazy but yet I want to be best version on ME!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The restaurant's and doing well - we added a full bar and table service to our newest <a href="http://www.blackhogbbq.com/">Black Hog BBQ </a> and its wonderful - just working on more marketing and my photography game is stepping up. I am crazy about photography and videography so doing little projects every day - ck out some photos I took......</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As promised on my <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/107465225766858733923" target="_blank">+Instagram</a> page this week here is the recipe for <b><span style="color: magenta;">SMASHED ROASTED CAULIFLOWER.</span></b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I like to use a large cast iron pan to roast in a 450 degree oven. Cover with olive oil just enough to coat - start slow you can always add more. Peel slice 1/2 a large head of garlic, add crushed red pepper flakes (optional) S&P. Toss and place in oven !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">HEY HEY HEY,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just a little update since I'm taking a summer break from all the social media - I'll post but on a "as I can/want basis" just taking time to enjoy family, friends, working with our puppy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(the small bear we call ABE), visiting and watching over my father in law just having Hospice come by, working out trying Yoga and trying to slow down and smell the roses. Back to normal schedule Sept. along with new videos once a week! <span style="color: magenta;">BIG HUGS</span></span><br />

Ahhhhh to win the power ball - Oh what would I do????? What wouldn't I do, right? Shop, travel, donate all of the above. It's fun to imagine right? Crossing my finger and toes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy your week - I will be putting recipe out for "Summer Minestrone" later in the week - so yummy so good for you and tons to use from your garden - or farmers market! Mike made it and I have to say he's pretty darn good! Lucky me right?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">TGIF</span></b> I start my day with paper & pen in hand - making Friday <b>"todo" </b>list. I'm continuing on this never ending journey of organization & still working on clothing that will be donated to <a href="http://www.womantowomanmentoring.org/">Women 2 Women Mentoring</a>, switching closets etc... I'm also cleaning out my desk / makeup drawers. I have trash bags full of junk - feeling liberated for sure! 👍</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">However, not sure about you, but I get so side tracked at times when I purging - flipping through old papers - magazines, reminiscing. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Well Hello ADD! </b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">I made huge progress however donating over 20 magazines to <a href="http://fmh.org/">Frederick Memorial Hospital</a> - my mother in law volunteers there in the patient discharge area 😊 and takes them in so its a win win. People I will always love my magazines! It started at 11 when my dad got me my first @vogue - I have some <a href="http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/">Martha Stewart weddings magazine 20 years old</a> ! I will never get rid of. I tried online versions but that's not for me - shocking I know since I love all my gadgets - but with mags - its the whole different thing - I ear mark pages - tear them out - love to flip through and that whole "tactile" feel. </span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">OK next - focus Lori - I came across these sites to help with organization - ck them out.</span><br>

We made a reservation this past Saturday for 5 PM 2pp <a href="http://FLEET ST. KITCHEN - BALTIMORE, MD">FLEET ST. KITCHEN - BALTIMORE, MD</a> <span id="goog_958320299"></span><span id="goog_958320300"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a>I couldn't wait to get there to see the space and taste the food! I'd heard a review on this & really was looking forward to it. The menu seems modern American new farm to table. We arrived about 10 minutes early Saturday & sat outside in the alleyway between their sister pizza joint <a href="http://www.bagbypizza.com/">BAGBY PIZZA</a> just across from Fleet Street. Unfortunately they wouldn't open doors until 4:53 - 😝 annoying. *(If you have a reservation at 5 o'clock aren't you ready to go a little while prior? Just saying....). Anywho - finally we were let in - waited in foyer than few minutes later we were seated.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It was beautiful. The mix of rustic wood a stunning plaid banquet wood trim and then crystal chandeliers. That ying & yang thing - one of my favorite combos.

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">Good Morning All,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Took some time off to really work with this puppy (our mini horse) ABE - he is a Newfoundland 4 1/2 months and 65lbs! If you don't already know by my instagram & FB - he is more than half my size already & a lot more work than we thought but so worth it! Dealing with ABE along with handing social media for the restaurants - gearing up for spring at <a href="http://www.blackhogbbq.com/">www.blackhogbbq.com</a> we are adding a full bar to our Market Sq location - so I have been busy picking out finishes etc..... Re-bottling sauces, organizing a Mothers Day Contest for Black Hog - in a nutshell it consists of the best photo & story about MOM & Winner gets $100 Spa GC & Weber Grill! Whoa!!! Than I oversaw photo shoot for <a href="http://www.trrestaurant.com/">www.trrestaurant.com</a> updating website, plus working on my own little projects. So I had little time for any decent blog posts but now I'm back baby! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Lets start with this Cabbage Soup: </span></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a really simple, fast & inexpensive. A great dinner to prepare on the fly that tastes even better the second day. I like to do these posts and add to my family cookbook & share with the kids esp. JOJO who is out in the big bad workforce now! LOL</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1 head of cabbage leaves peeled core and rough chopped. ( I started using my cleaver again- LOVE)</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1med onion </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Almost 1 head of garlic </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">3 strips of country style bacon (if vegetarian omit this)</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1 bag mini potatoes - I like the multi color version for a change and looks but you can use a bag of Red or the Yukon gold. (wash before of course)</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Olive Oil & Butter (real butter people)</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Crushed Red Pepper Flakes</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Garlic Powder to add to broth if you like</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Chicken or Veggie Boullion </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sauté your onion with salt and pepper olive oil and butter add bacon turn down heat & add garlic and your cabbage sauté on medium careful not to burn the garlic - so about five minutes maybe a little less cover with low sodium vegetable or chicken stock and purified water.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Add crushed red pepper to taste and one bullion chicken or vegetable - this adds </span><span style="font-size: large;">great flavor <b>and your salt</b>, bring to a boil - reduce heat cover - stirring occasionally. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cook until potatoes are tender fork ready taste add S&P / Red Pepper flakes as needed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After it is ready I like to cover it and let it sit for hour or so than bring up to boil again and serve. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For some reason I love this dish with lots of black pepper - the sweetness of the cabbage & pepper go together so well together. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So there you have it - easy - inexpensive - Cabbage Soup! Cost is about 2.50 per serving.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Add some lean chicken and your set! <a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=19">FYI: BENEFITS OF CABBAGE</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Off to walk ABE, inventory new BLACK HOG BBQ T-Shirts, Hit the gym in basement than "steam it out!"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chat with you later! Keep 'DOING YOU!"</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday I posted a picture of a delicious soup Mike made for me. I have been feeling a little sluggish and low - happens once a month need I say more...... He has been taking good care of me. <span style="color: orange;"> "Awe so sweet thanks again babe!"</span> Anyway I love my soups and we make some of the best if I can brag a bit. Well he decided to make a yummy one with tons of ginger in it for me - If you follow and know me at all you know I am just crazy for ginger.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 pound lb carrots rough chopped/ peeled</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 stalks celery</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 inch ginger peeled thinly sliced</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4 cloves garlic</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 cinnamon sticks</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/8 tsp cayenne (or to taste)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/8 tsp ground clove</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/8 tsp allspice</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">pinch salt </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">black pepper (freshly ground is best to taste)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tablespoon Canaola Oil</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sauté all your vegetables except for the garlic in canola oil with cover on until they are translucent. About 5-6 min low heat you want <b><u>no color at all on the veggies</u></b>. Then add your garlic along with all other spices sautéing for 2 to 3 minutes on low heat. Cover with equal parts water & stock (chicken or veggie) You want to cover your saluted veggies by about 1 1/2 inches. Bring to a boil then cover and put on your lid/cover cook for 45 min. stirring occasionally. Remove cover carefully use your immersion blender and purée you want some carrot bits/chuncks (for lack of better word). <span style="color: red;">**</span><i>For safety I put the immersion blender in the bottom of my pan/pot whether it be soup or stock whichever it is in the bottom <u><b><span style="color: red;">and then turn on low</span></b></u> you want to be careful of anything splashing up at you when it piping hot, so please just be careful!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally ladle into a pretty soup bowl and top with either roasted pumpkin seeds w/caynee if you like more spice or toasted croutons. Myself I love Greek yogurt (get some extra protein) mixed with honey and some flaxseeds - stir together and put1 - 2 spoonfuls right on top - makes it so creamy and simply luscious! This is such a healthy, filling beautiful soup. You can do this with many root veggies - keep this in mind now that Spring is here. Try it out and let me know your thoughts!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Bon Appétit Enjoy!</span></div>
