Welcome to Hearth and Soul, the blog hop for and about food that nourishes both body and soul. Thank you to everyone who shared recipes and posts last week. My highlights include:

Won’t Miss the Meat Chili, a lovely vegetarian version of a winter classic from Coping with Frugality

Apple and Cardamom Muffins, part of the first in a series on herbs and spices from Gluten Free SCD and Veggie

Warming Pumpkin and Chestnut Soup with Red Chili Pepper Crackers from MJ’s Kitchen

Herbed Salmon Croquettes, a wonderful way to serve a delicious fish, from Bookcase Foodie

Tasty wheat free, vegetarian Cabbage and Kidney Bean Casserole from Wheat Free Meat Free
