You may not know this but January is also National Soup Swap Month! Later in the month we also celebrate a soup swap day. What is a soup swap you ask? Well a soup swap is when friends, family, neighbors or even organizations get together and share in a meal of homemade soup. Each person brings a pot of soup and at the end of the meal, everyone exchanges bags or containers of soup. The idea is to help everyone fill their freezers with many different soups to help get through the cold winter months.

Bread is a mainstay since time began and continues to be at every single meal in one form or another. It doesn't matter if it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper or tea time bread will make it's appearance at all of them.
