THIS is my version…more sensible…WAY less calories…and comes with a nifty, although overused, lime green dish towel!  Let’s travel back…back in time…before surgery…to our former selves…yes it’s scary…but let’s go there for just a moment. Raise your hand if you ate at Applebee’s before surgery.

Before I start to tell you about the wonderful lusciousness you see above, I have two questions: Have you read our latest big announcement? If not, go read it…I’ll wait. Did you cook along with soup week? If you did, or are planning to, you have until Nov. 7 to e-mail your soup pics to be entered in the prize …
