Listening to my Daddy
Jan 29, 2017
I was driving home from Asheville last Sunday, after participating in the Women's March, and had some time to chat with my parents. They were concerned to learn that I had come down with a hard cold and was not feeling well. My dad, ever the believer in kitchen remedies and food as medicine (I come by it honestly) said, "Hannah you need to get just get home and make a big pot of chicken soup."
So I did...When the gunk of winter gets into you what do you need? Chicken Soup, otherwise known as Jewish Penicillin. Make some for your loved ones...

3 carrots
