Baby it's cold outside!!!  Many parts of the country are experiencing an extreme cold the likes of which have not been seen in many many years, if ever.  I feel like we are pretty fortunate here in the PNW because although it is cold, it is our normal cold of 20's and 30's.

These temps call for soup.  Tonight I will be having chicken tortilla soup with hominy, avocado & queso fresco.  I have actually started using a recipe and ingredient delivery service called Blue Apron and I love it!!  I have not had a bad meal yet.  I am learning much already in just the short 2 weeks I have used them.  For me I wanted to learn more about herbs and the balance of acid and such in cooking.

So far so yummy!!!!  :-)
