These two passions intertwined create something pretty amazing- her blog! She creates healthy, but get this, TASTY meals crafted with ingredients that don’t leave you feeling deprived. Featured below is one of our favorites- TURKEY LENTIL SOUP.

Oh, and remember our January nutrition goal is to drink more water. I am pretty sure some H2O would be the perfect pairing for this meal ;).
