Happy Friday foodies!
As I mentioned in yesterday’s CURRENT events, I’ve recently become obsessed with something I’ve coined a “soupie”…
Smoothie + Soup = Soupie!
Ya see, I don’t know about you guys, but just because it’s no longer 90+ degrees outside, doesn’t me I don’t still get cravings for thick and creamy smoothies. The only problem? It’s no longer 90+ degrees outside and I have to be sure I’m wearing my fluffy socks and a fleece hoodie every time the craving hits.
Solution: Make a smoothie and HEAT IT UP!
So I have no idea if I’m the first person to ever think of this, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t patting myself on the back for this latest stroke of genius!
All the great flavor of a SMOOTHIE with the warm-tummy feeling of SOUP!

But just in case a warm (and vibrantly green) smoothie isn’t strange enough for you, I made another variation yesterday that was EVEN better stranger <- I mean really, as far as I’m concerned, it’s the same thing!

Sorry, every time I see pink, I revert back to the nineties. Ok, new song…

One word: OBSESSED!
Can’t I have like another day in the week or something? That my job doesn’t know about? Or better yet, can I just quit my job and stay home and blog all day?
On a spoon. On a stick. Omg, forget the 
Kettle Corn Crack
Fresh salads for dinner.
Followed by a perfectly grilled steak, mushrooms, and roasted asparagus.
