After brining and roasting my first turkey and then forgetting to take a picture with the good camera, I gave up on the idea of a Thanksgiving blog post. I did, however, manage to capture the crowd prior to anyone’s departure.  A great group, I tell ya!  I’m so incredibly thankful that I was able to celebrate the holiday with each and every face pictured below!

After being such a busy bee over the extended weekend, I awoke on Sunday ready to meal plan.  A slow-cooker soup, a polenta dish, and a recreation of a sandwich were on my mind.  Slow-cooker soup was first up.

I wanted {always want} a flavorful soup filled with protein and veggies that still felt fresh and light.  Broth, lime juice, and cilantro did the fresh trick.  And coconut milk, curry, turmeric, and coriander gave the soup a wonderful flavor.
