Well it feels like fall around here.  It’s windy, the leaves are changing colours and there is a fall chill in the air.  And I love it.  Really, really love it.  I love it even though for so many of us this time of year means weeknights filled with activities, sports and rushed evenings.  And this can also mean that dinners can be challenging, but they don’t have to be!  All it takes is a little planning and some healthy ingredients, and you can have hearty and delicious meals on your table in no time!

Hearty. Fall. Meals.  Yes, please!

Today I’m sharing with you a recipe for Hamburger Soup.  Let me tell you, this soup brings back very very fond memories of my childhood.  My mom makes the best Hamburger Soup in town!

This soup is the perfect weeknight meal.  It’s chock full of yummy seasonal vegetables and meat, and it’s also great because it makes a big batch.  Big batch cooking is so fantastic because you can serve half now, and freeze half for later!  Happy dance!  Or serve the leftovers up in thermoses for the kids lunches.  Now we’re talkin!
