I cannot even begin to tell you how cold it’s been in Pittsburgh! Kiddos have been off school for days because of the freezing temps! To me, there are few things more soul satisfying than some serious comfort food.
Mom’s homemade broccoli cheddar soup in a nice bread bowl? Yes, please! However, I am making every effort to not give into these cheats throughout my 21 Day Fix Journey, so instead of focusing on what I cannot have, I am focusing on satisfying my cravings for soul food with recipes like this one!
I will be honest…
I didn’t think it looked that appealing.
