Paleo Zuppa Toscana

Printer-friendly version

Hello!  I hope you are all having a great day today.  Here in Colorado we went from 75 to 38 and rain/snow mixture. Spring time in the Rockies is so much fun :)  So today I whipped up some Paleo Zuppa Toscana and realized I didn't have this recipe on my website.  You may not be aware of this but I made this website for our two older children (22-20) so that when they moved out they had an easy reference to go to when they wanted some comfort food or just some advice.  That being said I thought I would do a little tutorial for the kiddos.

Please remember I am not a chef. I am a busy Mommy of three who happens to cook.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,

Chella
