Sometimes it is cold outside and you just need something warm and delicious in your belly.

Today is one of those days.

The leaves have turned here in Atlanta, and fall has officially made its’ appearance. However, fall was ushered in along with two straight days of cold rain, chilling all of us southerners to the bone.

Thus, my weekly lunch needed a little pick-me up, and this recipe is the perfect amount of warmth and kick to make your head-down, windy, rain soaked walk a little bit warmer 🙂

Happy cooking, and come back soon!

Love, A Rented Kitchen
