Peachy the Magazine Holiday 2014 | Page 48

Welcoming the Holidays Nancy Palermo Lietz Health + Wellness I always like to start a holiday meal with some sort of soup. It allows guests to relax and sets the tone for the meal. One of my favorites for the holidays is a butternut squash or pumpkin soup— comfort food with a healthy twist. This one is adapted from Andrew Weil’s True Food. Roasting the vegetables before making the soup really brings out the flavors. The soup is amazingly light and healthy but tastes decadent. Nancy’s wish list Wishing for good health, more down time and the courage to take positive changes no matter how difficult it may be. 46 PEACHYTHEMAGAZINE.COM
