Creamy Broccoli Soup

Happy Monday!!

I hope you all had a great weekend. Summer is officially here and I don't know about you, but I couldn't be happier!

This past weekend I spent a lot of time eating and drinking, thanks to the amazing #bonappgrubcrawl and the best lunch ever at Russ and Daughters... go immediately and make sure you get the hot and cold salmon to start!

Well anyway, as much as I love to treat myself I am glad it is Monday, spending the day meatless and then ending it with a late ride at CYC.

So, now let’s get back to the point of the post, today's recipe. As I said I ate a lot over the weekend so I am going to be eating clean and light this week, I know, what new? Well, nothing but it always feels like a fresh start on Monday. Well without further ado, check out this recipe for Creamy Broccoli Soup aka what I will be eating all week.
