If you live in the Pacific Northwest you are in the midst of experiencing a glorious Fall. The range of autumn colors surrounding the area is a breathtaking sign that the colder weather is upon us.
In three days millions of kids across the country will be ringing doorbells and knocking on doors dressed as their favorite princesses and superheroes. With one eye on the clock and the other out the window, they will eagerly be waiting for dusk to signal when they can grab their bags and descend into neighborhoods with the goal of collecting as much candy as possible. The last thing on their candy-obsessed minds is dinner, and parents know this. It's important to make sure children are well-fed before sending them out into the cold weather for a night of running door-to-door as fast as they can and wearing themselves out.
With November just around the corner, it's the perfect time to share one of our family's favorite soup recipes. It is guaranteed to keep everyone warm and tummies satisfied. Coconut chicken curry soup is quick and easy to prepare and will give your kids the energy they need before their journey begins, which will end in a sugar-induced coma. Have a safe fun Halloween and don't forget to grab a coat on your way out.
