❄️ Snowy weekends with blankets and books

❤️ Final Thought: Great Food Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

You don’t need 17 ingredients or a culinary degree to make something magical.

Sometimes, all it takes is:

A chicken

A pot

And the courage to say: “Today, I’m feeding my people.”

And when your partner says, “Did you make this from scratch?”

Or your kid hugs you after the first bite…

You’ll know:

You didn’t just make soup.

You made love.
