I am pretty obsessed with Mediterranean cooking these days. Not only is it super healthy, but the recipes tend to be full of flavor. This week’s meal prep is Turkish Tomato, Bulgur, and Pepper soup.

I know it’s technically still summer, but soup makes for a great comfort meal anytime of the year!

Today we wrapped up a book study/class with Reading Above the Fray and using decodable texts. If you’re looking for a quick read with strategies you can apply right away, I highly recommend this one!

The best part is the educational swaps. If you swipe, you can see some of my favorites. The book goes into detail and makes it easy to apply each one.
