When Gooseberry Patch asked me to review their new cookbook, Hometown Christmas I was excited to check out the delicious recipes inside, especially the baked goods! But after reading through every page I was pleasantly surprised to find numerous recipes I wanted to try that were not just desserts but also Crockpot dishes, soups and stews, and party appetizers. 
So I decided this tasty Tuscan Turkey Soup would be the first recipe I would share with you today. It features ground turkey, beans, orzo pasta, and hearty veggies. Perfect for this time of year! 
Serve with toasted bread for dipping.

We spent Earth Day 2022 in Springfield at the picnic and a movie event in the gardens. It was the perfect sunny afternoon with a breeze and we shared a delicious charcuterie picnic and watched "Bee Movie". The girls did crafts, played in the park, listened to speakers and poetry, and @theparkboard gave us a tree to take home. We had a great time and everyone slept the whole drive home (except Mom)! #earthday2022 #springfieldmo #missourilife #movienight #earthday #picnic #familyfun
