they're especially fascinating when the blog you've discovered is someone you've known from your past.
i knew meg growing up through elementary school and church.
she was a year older than me.
we were never real close, but i do remember how much she made me laugh on our church missions trip to mexico.
that was when i was in 7th grade.
her blog proves that she still has the same great sense of humor.
i love reading about her thoughts on whole foods, and looking at the pictures she posts of her cute little boy and her house, oh and her projects!
i found this recipe when looking back at some of her past posts and it's definitely a new favorite around here.
i was over making soup until this little cold front hit.
so i thought i would try out the bean and bacon soup.
i knew it would be a hit with casey because he loves some beans and is always tempted by bacon!
the recipe comes from real simple, but i made it meg's way and added the garlic.
this would be a good one to make this weekend.
nashville forecast is rainy and 50.
oh, and the best part is this is super cheap to make.

bean and bacon soup
1 pound of northern beans
4 cloves garlic, diced
cook them until they're tender.
i cooked mine in the crockpot.
(just cover them with water, set on low and check every few hours)
cook the bacon in a big pot.
then pull it out and drain.
saute the onion and carrots until tender in olive oil (or coconut oil)
add the cooked beans to the pot with some water or chicken stock, salt & pepper, and parsley.
i love a recipe where you can just wing it!
