Ok ok I did it. I washed my hair. AND shaved my legs. I hated every second of it. Especially since it’s now freezing in Colorado. Shaving your legs + goosebumps, blows ass. It’s painful. It’s like constant razor burn throughout every swipe of the razor. But I’m trying, people. I’m trying!
Guess what I decided? This weekend is going to be good. Real good. You know why? Ok, so last night I went out shopping for a Halloween costume and found this awesome black sequin, open back dress. So it’s slutty, but not really because it goes down to my knees in length. I looked through a bunch of the Halloween costumes there, you know, the dirty nurse, dirty Hogwarts, dirty firewoman, but I can’t pull that stuff off. Nor do I want to. It’s freezing, and my ass barely fits into my spandex, let alone a dress that is suppose to cover only half my ass. Imagine how that outfit would look. I’ll help you out: not good.
But before I become a slightly skankified Audrey Hepburn, I’ll be attending an awesome fundraiser. My friend Clark who owns CrossFit South Denver will be hosting a Bears for Kids Charity Competition this Saturday October 27th from 12-4pm. It’s a pretty cool fundraiser, especially since 100% of the proceeds will go to the Denver Children’s Home. And in an attempt to raise even more money for the kids, for every $10 received in donations, Clark and I will do one burpee. Once the total donations are totaled, we will compete to see who can finish the burpees first. So what I’m pretty much is saying, you should come, hang out, work out, and do burpees. Come on, you know you wanna.
Oh and remember how I said the dress went down to my knees. I lied. I just tried it on. My ass took control once again with this dress. It’s real short. Ugh.
Is it pathetic I get goosebumps every time I see the commercials for the last Twilight movie? Wait, don’t answer that.

Awesome recipe! Thanks for sharing it. I had some leftover baked sweet potatoes still with skins on. I simply removed the skins, mashed with a fork and blended everything with my hand blender. Since potatoes were precooked, I heated the soup in a saucepan. YUM! I wish I had doubled the recipe because there aren’t any leftovers
I just made this and it’s delicious! I used a whole onion and two HUGE garlic cloves. I love the flavor the coconut milk adds.
Thank you! I can’t wait to try more recipes.
So I made this soup tonight and it was awesome. The coconut milk adds a very unique flavor.
Easy and delicious! Two thumbs up for sure!
GREAT recipe. Next time I am going to add chicken/turkey to it. I love trying your recipes and can’t wait to get your book!
Ok so I have to admit…I don’t cook that much and if I do it is short and sweet! Today is a snowy day in good ole’ Ohio and I decided to try out some of your recipes…Well let’s just say I a pretty frickin proud of myself and I could eat this soup all winter long 🙂 I have also made the Chocolate Coffee Banana Donuts!!! I am addicted. Thank you for your inspiration and talent in the kitchen.
Went bonkers last night making a couple of your recipes – tasting them both today – absolutely great!
Thank you for this ridiculously easy soup recipe! I LOVED it and even had it for breakfast the next day!
I have been obsessing over your blog over the past week as I made my switch to Paleo. This is my first recipe and it was awesome! I added a little raw honey to it and some cinnamon and nutmeg and it was so yummy. I topped it with some shredded beef that was leftover and it was a great match!
I made this for a house full of boys (22-33 years old) and added some turkey kielbasa. I doubled the recipe and it was gone in less than 24 hours. That is a definite WIN!
