Friday! yah made it another week. I drive my Autistic son Jordan to school every day and he asks me “what day is it?” When I tell him it’s Friday he is super happy that he made it to the weekend. He gets to stay up late to watch cartoons every Friday and Saturday night, that’s his thing as well as Lego. He has an entire room of his own that is filled with Lego.
Also Friday nights are pop and chips night for our other teenage son Ethan, so it’s a happy night all around. He spends the evening chatting with his Internet pals playing games. Remember when we went to friends and played vinyl records? Have I just aged myself? This recipe Vegan Celery Soup is what I took to work today for lunch, I love it with lots and lots of fresh ground pepper!
Fresh wholesome vegetables make this soup both healthy and delicious. The cauliflower give this soup it’s creaminess.
We just can’t get enough of that celery! Don’t forget the pepper!
