Carrot & Garlic Soup with Turmeric – I made this three times last week!

As we welcome in fall, I find my body takes some time to adjust to cooler temperatures. Naturally, we seek comfort and warmth through food and you may find yourself  adjusting your diet to more warming foods.

I made this Carrot & Garlic Soup with Turmeric three times last week!! Since I enjoyed it so much I wanted to share it with you.

Super easy, this soup gets most of its flavour from garlic. A couple of weeks ago we were at the Niagara Garlic Festival and picked up some delicious Ontario grown garlic which is finding its way into ALL my meals.

My refreshing start to summer!

Summer officially started this week but with it’s early arrival, I’ve been drinking this Chai Infused Hibiscus Water since last month!

Loose Leaf Hibiscus Tea

Hibiscus is known to lower high blood pressure and lower cholesterol. A beautiful sunset red colour I like to pair my hibiscus water with strawberries which are in season right now! Enjoy them in everything while you can. I’ve infused the tea with Arvinda’s Chai Masala. With just one sip your palate gets pleasantly mild hints of cardamom and cloves.
