Rainy Day Food: The Best Roasted Creamy Tomato Soup w/ Grill Cheese
Hey KS Fans
I love rainy days! – and it is going to rain this whole week it seems. Rainy Sunday’s are my favorite kind of rain days -it gives me an excuse to stay in and just chillax with my family. . Sometimes the pressure of a sunny day and the need to get out and enjoy it has made it some of my indoor endeavors not so appealing and therefore I have been quite lax of late. On a rainy day like today -I love to just hunker down and have some great time indoors catching up on things I have been so desperately wanting to do!
Whether I am catching up on a great book I wanted to read, cleaning out closets I have been meaning to get to for the last few months, or just sitting on the floor and playing with my daughter – Rainy Days are the best excuse to stay in PJ’s (or clothing that are almost like PJ’s) and not leave the house.
Today was the perfect Sunday and of course a rainy day calls for the most delicious roasted tomato cream soup and grilled cheese sandwich I could make!
Here’s to hoping that the old man keeps snoring for at least one more day! (I have a lot to do)
