The Best Jarred Salsas....


Daily Tidbit:  I love using Roasted Red Peppers!  They provide such a wonderful flavor to all sorts of dishes.  For those of us who buy the jarred variety, here is a list of some of the best:

Butternut Squash Soup


Lunch: Soup & Sandwich
1 Medium Whole Wheat Wrap with Roasted Red Pepper & White Bean Dip (recipe below)
2 cups of Trader Joe's Low Sodium Butternut Squash Soup topped with a squirt of fresh Lemon
Cucumber Lemon Water





Note:  This soup used to be one of our favs.  That was before I started making homemade soups - what a difference!  Well it is pretty good by canned soup standards and you cannot beat the convenience, but for soup nothing can compare to homemade!   Meantime, 1 serving of vegetables is 1/2 cup cooked vegetables, which means I got 4 servings in this one bowl of soup!
