Sweet Potato, Black Bean, and Red Quinoa Soup
This is a nice soup for a rainy spring day! It's packed with protein and nutrition and a little spicy!
Ingredients
1 cup Red Quinoa
1 cup Black Beans
2 Sweet Potatoes
2 stalks Celery
1 Yellow Onion
1 Tomato
1 Jalepeno
1 Serano Pepper
1 TBS Chipotle Chili Powder
2 tsps Smoked Paprika
2 tsps Cumin
2 tsps Salt
2 cloves Garlic
Cilantro
Lime Sour Cream
2 TBS Cooking Oil
4-6 cups vegetable broth
1 dark Beer
Make a puree of the peppers, tomato, cilantro, and garlic. It will look like a salsa.
In a large dutch oven or soup pot, saute the onions, salsa mix and celery in the oil until soft. Add in the diced sweet potato, quinoa, beans, spices, broth, and on bottle of beer. Simmer until sweet potatoes and quinoa are soft. Add more spice to taste. Garnish with sour cream, lime, and fresh cilantro.

Easter Weekend 2012
We had a busy weekend of photo shoots at the Attic and around the area and Easter with Kyle's family. The pic above is us in Peepaw's workshop/the Attic workshop.
On Saturday I spent time styling a real engagement shoot with Rebecca Hollis Photography at one of my favorite places to shoot in the northwest! I can't wait to share it with you. And it is so crazy to think that almost one year ago I was at the exact same place helping with this photo shoot!
Me and my big ole' belly!
Sophia turned 10 months old on Saturday!
Sophia easter shopping with me...kitties and piggies!
Sunday Best!
We spent Easter with Kyle's Family...hunting eggs by the creek!
On the move...she loves dirt and grass and rocks!

Life Lately
I had a lovely site visit with a bride yesterday! A gorgeous old church and a rooftop where we are creating a forest! Can't wait to share it with you come August!
Working on another project out of antique doors...
Lot's of scouting and buying for the Attic.
And easter shopping with Sophie G!
