winter minestrone with garlic toast.

Last weekend someone managed to come down with a case of sneezy, coughy, general groaning, whining and moaning case of man flu. With not so many rooms in our humble abode, I decided to have a little culinary salvation from the flu-ridden. I often find inspiration via Pinterest and this Barefoot Contessa recipe was no exception. It was the perfect blend of hearty and healthy and paired with buttery garlic toast, true comfort food. A definite must try to beat the winter blues.
