Move over chicken noodle, my chicken quinoa soup is even better. Nothing beats a huge pot of homemade chicken soup, and while it’s incredibly good for you, the noodles that fill the pot usually aren’t.

The leaves are changing, the morning air is crisp, and football season has commenced. Fall has arrived! Which means it’s time to focus on warm and grounding foods.

This cilantro corn pasta salad quickly became a favorite dinner in my house over the summer! It’s definitely one you want to make.
