HEY! Guess who got a haircut? If you follow me on Twitter, you might have played along with #pickallisonshaircut. Before I went, I was ready to shave it all off. I even grabbed my scissors on my desk and pretended to chop off a big chunk. I need help. Well, here it is!
Hey, bangs!
Now, onto today's regular scheduled post.
The is an Olive Garden copycat recipe. I personally have never had this soup, but this homemade version is quite tasty. The additional of kale really rounded out the soup well. It is a hearty soup that paired great with crusty bread.

I work until 5 and have a very stressful job, so it is hard for me to come home and even begin to think about working out. You have really motivated me though!!!
