@DrewsAnna Those look delicious I need to get that when I go!

Pumpkin Tomato Soup
Ingredients
1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
4 cup low-sodium chicken broth (I like Pacific, which is only 50mg sodium per cup)
1 (15-oz.) can pure pumpkin puree
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
3/4 tsp Kosher salt (you can reduce for lower sodium)
3 Tbsp heavy cream
Chopped fresh basil leaves, for serving

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant and light golden, about 1 minute.
Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute more. Add broth, pumpkin puree, Parmesan, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until soup is slightly thickened and flavors are melded, about 5 minutes. Stir in cream. Sprinkle with basil.

What is your favorite thing to do with your free time? Why?

I'm single and retired, so free time is ALL the time, now! But to answer your question: Websurf; cardio peddling; read (ancient civilizations and mythology, self-help, spirituality, health and fitness); learning Spanish; watch Netflix and BritBox... and I tutor middle-school students online through "Learn To Be".

@Digger61, thank you for being our spotlight person this month! I respect how you stick to your low-carb/protein goals in spite of spending so much time in your truck. I’m sure it would be easier, but at times, it would be tempting to stop at a truck stop and fill up on junk food. Keep up the great work!

@micaroo4 Thank you so much for stepping up to be our new motivator! You will do a fantastic job!

@trooworld How awesome that you are having such a good time with your BFF. We need to see the pic of you all dressed up!

@laurelfit57 HaHa that story of Ty sitting on your face is hilarious! I’m sure you jumped up in hurry!


Good morning! Our ladies' tea yesterday was so lovely, and I’m giving huge props to our pastor for how he set this all up for the ladies in our church. The room was decorated beautifully, with the tables all decorated with members' china. The men were in dress pants and white shirts and were excellent waiters. We had live music and a lovely woman who talked to us about the trials of life and how God is always with us no matter what life throws at us. Today, we have our pastor's appreciation, and we will present the pastor with a gift basket full of stuff for him, his wife, and their sweet autistic son. I think the timing is perfect!

What is your favorite thing to do with your free time? Why?
Everyone knows my love for the jigsaw puzzle! I have always liked doing them, but my passion took off during Covid to pass the time since I wasn't going into the office every day. I rarely do anything under 2000 pieces and have done two 5000-piece puzzles that were awesome and still in my collection to be done again one day. I’m home a lot these days, taking care of my husband and doing puzzles to help pass the time while I watch TV or listen to a podcast helps keep me sane.

I'm still here just having a hard time with some things.

My favorite willpower tip. It's just a little mental dance I do when I feel like I MUST eat something. I remind myself that when I HAVE to go without food for a medical test or procedure, I have no problem doing it. Which means there really is no reason that I can't delay eating (or eat something healthier) even when there's no looming medical test involved. I just tell myself that the food will still be there when it's appropriate to eat it. Cravings are like stray cats: they go away if you don't feed them.

@trooworld What fun pics! I haven’t stayed up partying that late in 20 years.

@micaroo4 I love that tip, and I know it works because I’ve done it. Hunger really will fade. We just need to give it a second.


Good morning, and happy Monday! I woke up with a renewed determination to have a great week with food and exercise. Today, I’m starting a new workout program where I will do weight training three days a week and rebounding workouts four days a week. I also have to get it together and stop snacking in the afternoons! I think the culprit is the coffee, which leads to me wanting a little snack. It has to stop!! Today, Joe and I are going to go vote. He has been driving me nuts, worried he won't get to vote, so having that done will be peace of mind for us both. I also need to get gas, wash my car, and pick up a prescription. My sister just told me that they opened up a Hallmark store, and if Joe feels up to it, we might have a look. I always loved those stores!
