Carrot and Cauliflower Soup

Lets start 2010 with a nice healthy recipe, a wonderfully simple and flavorful soup. I hope you all had a wonderful new years eve. We stayed home my friend came over with her baby and I made my first Beef Bourguignon! recipe to follow. It was wonderful my hubby even licked his plate (but he didn't want me to say that so mums the word)!

In 2010, I want to continue blogging and learning new recipes with your support, amazing comments, food blogs and tips I can cook anything, well almost!

I even joined Michelle's (Big Black Dog) bread making group yesterday I am a bit nervous but until I step out of my comfort zone I will never learn right!
