October is traditionally known as Breast Cancer Awareness month, but I like to focus on PREVENTION.

Awareness… I know about it.

Prevention… I’m taking action to change outcomes.

Did you know... 1 in 8 US women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime?

In April of 2020, I had an early mammogram due to breast pain. This was followed with an ultrasound due to some findings on the mammogram. This was followed by a biopsy of a spot in my right breast. It was a nerve-racking couple of weeks. Thankfully, the biopsy came back just fine + I was monitored every 6 months for a year or so to make sure there were no changes. Many women aren't so lucky + I know far too many who have fought (or succumbed) to breast cancer.

Follow along on my social channels (IG, Facebook) for daily stats + tips to reduce your risk.

Plus... I'll be donating 10% of my sales this month to Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, an organization dedicated to exposing the causes of breast cancer + helping women make lifestyle changes that reduce their risk!. Last October, I was able to donate over $200. I would love to double that number this year!

Some of my favorite recipes come from Wildtree. They are a meal prep company that aligns with my values (organic, ingredient transparency). I made this soup yesterday and it was amazing! I did not have the Alfredo Extraordinaire on hand, so I made some modifications (I used cream in addition to the broth, and seasoned with my garlic seasoning at the end). I also just threw everything in the Instapot and let it cook for just over an hour. I don't make any money from Wildtree, just love their products and recipes!

INGREDIENTS

• 12 slices bacon, diced

• 1 yellow onion, diced

• 2 celery stalks, diced

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat a large nonstick pot over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove cooked bacon; transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.

2. Add onion, celery, carrots, and potatoes to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes.

3. Add flour and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

4. Add vegetable broth and Alfredo Extraordinaire to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
