The temperatures finally starting to drop iWashington, and with that Logan came home with his first cold of the season. Plus I've been craving soup. I meawhen am I not? I could live off of soup. 

So I made a big batch of Mexican Meatball Soup.

It's the perfect soup to starve off a cold. It has a spicy tomato based hearty broth with lots of veggies, spinach, corn, black beans, and rice. Then I added lots of perfectly seasoned cheesy meatballs, because we all know cheesy meatballs will always make you feel better even on the worst days. This is seriously a life changing bowl of deliciousness.

Move over Chicken Noodle there's a new favorite in town...

But the great thing about our local Safeway or Albertsons is they offer a home delivery service, so even if I'm feeling under the weather or having a bad pain day I can place an order for the things I need without leaving the comfort of my home.
