A Cozy Recipe to Try & a Bit of Spring

 

Hello beautiful Friends!

Happy Thursday. It's a very blustery one in the northwoods today. We got about 3-4 inches of snow again overnight. And today it's sunny and clear but VERY windy gusts out there. Every now and then it swirls like a white tornado out my kitchen window. 

Yay for being cozy and warm inside right? Is there a better feeling than sipping fragrant spiced tea while watching the snow swirl out your windows? I'm sure there are, but at that moment it feels about as good as it gets. :) 

Today I thought I'd share a bit of cozy in the form of a soup recipe I found that I plan to make in the near future. As a gal of part Polish heritage I grew up being very familiar with cabbage rolls. Well, this recipe I found is for a cabbage roll soup. I think I'd prefer my cabbage roll this way - with the cabbage chopped up nice and smaller. I was searching cabbage roll recipes when I came across it at the site dinneratthezoo.com 

Cabbage rolls are such a comfort food anyway, but in a soup I think even more so. I like when someone is able to take a dish and make it into a soup. I have a lasagna soup recipe I plan to make soon too for that reason. I will let you know how it goes when I make each of them. But for today here is the recipe I found for:

Cabbage Roll Soup

Doesn't that sound so warm, comforting, & wonderful? 😋

Now when I was looking through some recipes, I was of course looking at the millions of recipes I've pinned on pinterest. And I couldn't help but look at some recipes I'd like to try in the Spring. You can find all of these recipes under my board Spring/Easter which you can find if you click here.

I definitely plan to make these closer to Spring. 

I LOVE Earl Grey tea (actually I love a London Fog - which is a splash of milk in Earl Grey making it cloudy). It has such a floraly citrus flavor that's perfect for Spring. 

And this! Doesn't it look decadent? It's a recipe for strawberry rhubarb upside down cake. Oh my word - what a match made in heaven. And I planted rhubarb last year....yay for thinking ahead!! Lol 

And just for fun I thought I'd share these as well. I think these would be especially cute if you have young kiddos or grandkids (looking at you Mari 😍) to make a fun treat for St. Paddy's Day or for Easter. Plus, I can't help that now and then, already, my mind carries me away to dreams of Springtime. So just looking at some of these ideas & recipes helps pass the many weeks until that's going to happen. 

I hope that maybe you found something here that inspires you to something cozy or to some Spring daydreams. 

Blessings
