The Stories of a Twentysomething
A couple of years ago, we were inspired by Little Creature’s divine pumpkin salad and decided to make our own at home. The result, was this little beauty. I have to restrain from loading my whole plate with this salad, because it taste so scrumptious!
Since moving out, I make it regularly because it’s the best of both worlds: easy to make and delicious to eat! And not only can you have it as a salad, you can also add it to a wrap for a slightly different lunchtime treat!

However, one of my local go-to lunch spots, Stove Monkey, has inspired me to give soups a second shot. As a result, I’ve discovered three reasons behind my new-found love for soup:
