👩🏻‍🍳 COOKING FOR SANDY DAY
3 days a week, I cook meals for a neighbor who had a stroke last year and has limited mobility. We often share a meal kit or something similar and spend some time together since neither of us go out too much 😁 Today is one of her days. I’m enjoying having someone to cook for again.

She had asked last week for some Butternut Soup but I wasn’t feeling up to it. Today I did two soups to take her tomorrow so she can just have them in the freezer when she is ready.

I got some stunning produce from Misfits Market last week including these amazing Leeks so I want to thank them for an awesome box of produce as usual!

💉 If you aren’t familiar with my situation, basically I live with several autoimmune issues… an “inflammatory overstimulation response” brought on by my basic blood cells thinking they are Spartan Warriors and attacking everything in sight.
