Vegetarian Bean Soup

All you need is:

Vegetable Broth

Ditalini Pasta

1 can of red kidney beans

1 can of chickpeas

1 can of black beans

1 can of white kidney beans

The first step is to open and empty out the cans of beans. You should rinse them under water and get all the juices off that they were sitting in. This just makes them all nice and clean and ready to eat. I was munching on some chickpeas while I was cooking.

While sorting out the beans you will cook your ditalini pasta for about 10 minutes in boiling water. You can add some salt to the water. But I usually don't do that but a lot of people like to when cooking pasta.

While the pasta was cooking I put a little but of garlic salt on the beans. This step is optional but I wanted the garlic to kind of get into the beans and give them a little more flavor. I also just really love garlic and I will put it on any savory dish.

Next is your seasonings for your soup. I used Oregano, Garlic Salt (Duh), and with taste add some normal salt if needed. I made this soup for me and my mom and she hates black pepper so I added it just in my bowl. But I recommend putting it into your soup while its cooking. Then you'll drain your pasta for your soup.

The next step is to add all your ingredients into a bowl. Depending on how big your pot is you can add or save as much as you want. I ended up having a lot of beans and some pasta left over. This soup should be a little hearty so load it up with beans and pasta (but mostly beans for the health factor). Put all your spices and seasoning in and then cook it on a medium heat for about 5 minutes or until hot.

The last step is to serve it up and enjoy. This soup is really yummy and super easy to make. The beans give you protein and the vegetable broth is a nice flavor. This dish is good for cold nights, sick days, or even if you have left over pasta and/or beans. You can really alter it to your liking. Add more beans or a different pasta. This is just how I like to make mine. I hope you try this recipe out and enjoy it as much as I do!

Tea Cup // Outfit Of The Day

I went to a tea room for lunch and this outfit inspired by English rose gardens and those pretty bone china floral tea cups. The back of the dress is open so I work a bralette that is a pastel pink and lace one. It went with the whole English tea room theme of the outfit and for the tea room we went to. The dress is white with pastel pink painted ross on it. I got it last year at Forever 21 and I don't think they sell this dress anymore. I really love the shape and color of the dress. I didn't want any shoes that took away from the dress so I paired this outfit with my nude flats I got at a boutique in California. The purse is by Betsy Johnson and I love wearing this with pastel outfits. It has a black bow and a pink fluff ball on the side. Gold chain and black straps. Its a fake leather with little black hearts. This has been one of my go to purses right now. Make sure you checked my previous blog post about the tea room I went to (The Twisted ...

Florida Winter Looks

If you live in a place that doesn't really get freezing cold, like Florida, here are some cute outfit ideas. Also, I'm more into the brightly colored winter clothes so here are some options. If you are not big on the bright colors this sweater is a great way to jazz up your look. Glitter, Sparkles, and Sequins are always a great way to show that you're fun. This is also not a very thick sweater so it's great for Florida or California since it doesn't get very cold. The sweater is also very festive for Christmas and New Years Eve. If it isn't very cold like it is now in Florida go with a thing bright colored sweater and your favorite shorts. You can pair this with a bright hand bag and your favorite flip flops. You can also wear sneakers if you'd prefer. Now if it is a little too chilly for shorts wear bright colored jeans or leg gins to keep your legs warm. This is the perfect Florida winter outfit. Now this is actually my favorite one out ...
