Winter Warmers\ Health Benefits to Soup

I don't know about you, but working all the time, and only having a short lunch break (20-25 minutes) makes finding a suitable, fulfilling and healthily lunch difficult. Especially during the colder months. I never have time to leave work and go to a sandwich shop such as Pret-a-Manager, Boots or Costa Coffee, and I do not like preparing my own cold salads or sandwiches.

So my latest thought has been soup. Home-made soup to be exact.
Yes I agree it easier to buy a can of soup, but it is not as healthy, more expensive and less fun.
So I make batches of soup, then portion them out into freezer bags, and freeze them. When I go to work I use the microwave to defrost them, and hey presto fresh home made soup to warm me up :)

This is a soup I made this evening- Lightly spiced Carrot Soup.

Hello

This blog is going to consist of all things health and fitness, and beauty and fashion. I am an avid fan of all these things, and my posts will generally be me coming across things, sharing my opinions, giving my advice, and maybe even the occasional rant.

I decided to create this blog, as I already have Tumblr based on all things fitness and health, and enjoy regularly posting on it. However I wanted to create a blog where I have this aspect plus other interests of mine. So we'll see how it goes.

PICTURE OF THE DAY

Joke - Why Women Speak More

A husband, proving to his wife that women talk more than men, showed her a study in that morning's newspaper which indicated that men use on the average only 15,000 words a day, whereas women use 30,000 words a day.

She thought about this for a while and then told her husband that the reason women use twice as many words as men is because they have to repeat everything they say.

He looked up from his paper and said, "What?"
