With the August Meaningful Flowers Kit you can discover messages of friendship and loyalty in the flowers. This kit includes 8 cards, 4 each of 2 designs, and 8 coordinating envelopes.

We've been having "soup weather" here~

we love a bowl of hot flavorful soup for dinner!

Here's one of our faves!

 

Italian Soup

 

16 oz. Italian Sausage (Trader Joes’ Chicken Sicilian, or other flavor)

garlic

4 cups chicken broth

2 cups water

9-12 oz. pkg of tortellini ( I like to buy fresh tortellini from Sam's or Walmart)

1 can garbanzo beans—drained

1 can stewed tomatoes

1/3 cup country Dijon mustard (The kind with the seeds)

½ tsp. dry oregano

¼ tsp. black pepper

1 cup fresh spinach, shredded, stems removed

Fresh grated Parmesan cheese

 

Cook sausage out of skin with garlic. Drain fat. Add chicken broth and water and bring to a boil. Add pasta, cook 4-5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients (except spinach and Parmesan). Heat thoroughly. Add spinach and cook 1 minute after it wilts. Dish up and top with parmesan. Serves 4. Enjoy!
