Hello and happy March! Here’s what I had going on this week…
On the blog
Writing

Good advice
I got a helpful email from a reader named Meleyna last week after I mentioned that the noodles in the soup I made absorbed all the broth: “General advice when making soup with noodles/rice/etc: cook it separately and add it to your individual bowl when serving. Store them in their own containers if you’re eating for the the week. You can also freeze extra soup base, defrost, and boil fresh noodles down the line. Bc imo the whole point of soup is leftovers!”
Huge “oh yeah, duh!” moment on my part. I do this with lasagna soup already, and don’t know why I didn’t think of doing it in this instance!
Have a great Sunday! ✨
