Spinning
No spinning this week.
From the coop
I give an update on Mama Brahma and the babies. I think Mama is ready to call it quits on motherhood.
I chat a little bit about the roosters and *finally* share the size difference in the eggs from the older girls and the ones who are just starting to lay.

From the hutch
I introduce this sweet little girl. My son is fairly confident she's a girl. Say hello to Shadow.
Barefoot in the kitchen
I tried two new recipes this week. One was a bit of a zonker. The other was a winner!
Creamy chicken soup. I didn't follow the recipe exactly. We also added a cream of mushroom or cream of chicken to the soup and it added that little extra something. No flour since we try to keep carbs to a minimum. You could use a little bit of guar gum for thickening. The soup smelled divine as it was cooking.
The zonker was the recipe for roasted Brussel spouts. This was also my first time cooking Brussel sprouts. I didn't roast with the Parmesan, but added it after the fact. I don't think anyone was keen on Parmesan on the sprouts.
The tried and true recipe for chili is at the Top Secret Recipes website.

My happiness this week
Soup. It's so comforting during the cooler days. There are endless varieties of soup and many ways to make it.
