This 21 Day Fix Sausage and Pepper Soup is quick, easy, low carb and so darn delicious! Using spicy Italian turkey sausage, yummy veggies, and chicken stock, this cooks up in no time!
Confession #66 – I used to think calling in sick as a teacher was one of the most difficult aspects of the job. Not that I got sick much, but it was always easier just to suck it up and go to work rather than creating sub plans at 5am.
But now that I am home, I realize it is downright impossible to be sick as a stay at home mom.
Fever? Sore throat? Cough?
Nobody cares. Get out of bed, because there is no sub service to call today, momma.
Once again, suck it up.
So that’s what’s been happening here. How’s everything with you? Have you managed to escape the January germfest?
Besides drinking loads of tea and Shakeology, I have been making soups nearly every day to cope with this lingering cold. Even if you are feeling great, there is something so perfect about coming home to a nice warm bowl of soup. And when my dinner plan was sausage and peppers, I knew what I had to do.
