21 Day Fix – Minestrone Soup

Hope you and your family survived the holidays.  Ours started out rough with all three kids contracting mono, but oddly enough it was actually a blessing in disguise.

Christmas day was filled with coughing, fevers, and sniffles, but my kids were troopers.

We as a family during the Christmas break did a lot of resting so we could kick sickness to the curb.

We stayed away from sweets and even made Santa a healthy cookie to have with his milk.

One of the things I came away with was how having a low key holiday was actually good for our family.

Our kids were happier, I spent a lot of quality time with my children and my husband, and it was a blast doing mommy dates, crafting, and we even took the kids bowling when they started to feel better.

A Healthier Minestrone Soup

Right before Christmas I had a bunch of produce sitting in my fridge so I whipped up this 21 Day Fix inspired minestrone soup.

I made my version of minestrone soup 21 Day Fix approved, gluten free and packed with flavor.
