It’s been pouring rain all week. And when it rains in Los Angeles, three things always happens.

1. We constantly talk about how it’s actually raining.

2. We begin to drive 20 miles below the speed limit.

3. We stay home, in our sweats, and eat soup.

I skipped out on the first two but I definitely took advantage of the third, crockpot-style, with loads of white beans, quinoa and kale in a tomato broth.

I mean, this has pretty much been my dinner all week long, with no complaints of course.

It’s pure comfort food without any of the guilt.

That’s something I can get on board with anytime.
