Creative Kitchen Comforts

The Chef: Abby

The Menu: A warm and sweet butternut-bean soup with a side of grains and greens. Abby helped clean out the kitchen and masterminded a delightful marriage of leftover chili with a pre-made butternut squash soup. To accompany the soup, she whipped up an Indian-spiced corn, pea, bell pepper, tomato, and shredded kale mixture. Soft couscous sprinkled with Parma rounded out the warm and toasty meal.

The Goods: It's the beginning of another whirlwind week here at the VNHQ, and a cozy meal made for the perfect way to ease us into the oncoming insanity. The office doesn't feel quite the same, however, as Elizabeth is at home resting and rejuvenating after having been bit by a vicious flu bug. We hope she recovers quickly and is treating herself to eats as comforting as we've enjoyed today!
