Farewell
Well, it is the last day of being in my 2o's...tomorrow I enter my 30's...wow, I can't believe the day is here. I am excited and scared although everyone tells me the 30's are your best years...so I will embrace it! Turning 30 will bring new and exciting things into my life and with that, a new blog at a new address and a lot more fun! Currently it is in the works and once it is up and running I will be sure to let all of you know. Until then, I will be refocusing myself and my family and looking forward to this new venture! Thank you for supporting my Little Nest....xoxo

Yummy!
So, I have a fabulous recipe to share with you...
Fresh Tomato Soup
15-20 tomatoes (I used campari, but I'm sure you could use any kind)
1 head of garlic roasted
3 cups vegetable broth
1 onion diced
3 tablespoons organic tomato paste
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 packet stevia
salt & pepper to taste
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut tomatoes in half and bake in oven on jelly roll pan for 25 minutes. At the same time you can begin roasting garlic in oven wrapped in foil. Roast garlic for 45 minutes. While tomatoes and garlic are in oven begin sauteing onion until golden brown in dutch oven. Once color is golden brown, add tomato paste, vegetable broth and all spices and stevia. Once tomatoes and garlic are done put half of onion mixture and half of tomatoes in blender. Blend until smooth. Repeat with the rest of the onion mixture and the rest of the tomatoes and roasted garlic. Then combine both batches back in dutch oven and heat until warm. Enjoy!
To make it creamier, I added raw goat cheese to each bowl before serving.
This recipe is great! I am doing a detox from this book right now, so I am not eating any breads or crackers, but I'm sure this soup would be fabulous with some crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich. Fresh Tomato Soup

A favorite of mine
I am loving my Tom's right now! I bought my daughter a pair for Christmas and they look so cute on her. It took me a while to decide which ones I wanted and finally went for the black glitter after seeing them on my cousin. They are so comfy and even better, every time you buy a pair, they donate a pair to a child...so COOL!!! I am trying to figure out what color I want next....as for now, I am walking around in comfort and style!!
