Literally. 
Today was the first day of REAL fall weather. I had to close the windows 
and put a jacket on a couple times. I also made my first pot of soup.
I love soup.
Tonight I made, what else, Taco Soup. Ha, like you thought it would be something else.
So, here’s my Taco Soup
Dump the following in a big pot and heat:
1 can Pinto Beans (undrained)
1 can White beans (undrained)
1 can Whole Kernel Corn (undrained)
1 can Diced Tomatoes and Chilis (undrained)
1 can Diced Tomatoes (undrained) (I’m not big on tomatoes but you could do 2 cans here if you wanted)
1 can (4 oz) Diced Green Chilis (undrained)
1 envelope Taco Seasoning
1 envelope Ranch Dressing mix
1 Zucchini sliced
1 – 2 Carrots sliced
It makes about 8 cups of soup, I had just this for dinner and it’s about 350 calories. The sodium is kind of high — mainly from the taco seasoning mix.
Also, if you’re a meat eater you can add shredded chicken or cooked ground beef/turkey to the soup.
So, now on to some rambles. I am going to commit to blogging more consistently. When I first started this site I was posting a couple times a day and started to think I was annoying people so I stopped. Well, now I’ve realized that my blogging helps me with my weight loss journey. And, frankly, this site is for me. So, if I annoy you with too many postings, sorry. I’m hoping to get some new things going for my readers so be sure to stick around…it’ll be worth it.
Promise.

The soup sounds yummy! It is a good day for soup here, too. I woke up to 50 degree weather and I am fah-REEZING. Guess that means it takes one year of living in the south to make one a wimp to chilly weather.
I, for one, am not annoyed by your postings. If you are taking a vote or something.

lol, this is too funny because I made a very, very similar soup/stew last night.
We’ve had fall temps all week & I am loving having the windows open.
I agree – the blogging helps the weight loss & sometimes you just *need* to get something out. This is the perfect outlet.
Best wishes,
