Because WHY would you serve me a salad in a METAL bowl with a METAL fork?! 😭🤣 The sound alone is enough to send me into a full-blown sensory nightmare!

I’m not officially diagnosed with ADHD or autism (AuDHD), but I’ve been noticing more and more sensory sensitivities and little quirks about myself lately that have me seriously wondering. 🤪

The sound of a metal fork scraping against a dinner plate is already bad enough… but a metal fork scraping against a METAL BOWL?! Absolutely NOT. Straight to jail. 🚩🤣

I swear I can feel that sound in my entire body. 😵‍💫

So now I need to know… is this a neurodivergent sensory sensitivity thing, or does everyone hate this sound as much as I do?! PLEASE tell me I’m not alone! 😂👇

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MESS?! 😩

Every single year, I willingly put myself through the same thing. Flocking EVERYWHERE. On the floors, on my clothes, in my hair, and somehow in rooms I haven’t even decorated yet. 🤣

And since I’m the kind of person who needs a Christmas tree in practically every room, it takes approximately 5–7 business days to recover from decorating. 😆

Also, consider this your friendly reminder to NEVER wear black while decorating a flocked Christmas tree. Ask me how I know. 🙃

But will I continue buying flocked Christmas trees even though I know exactly what I’m getting myself into?! ABSOLUTELY. 😂🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has a love-hate relationship with flocked Christmas trees?! 👇🏻

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Around this time of year when it starts to get chilly outside, I start craving a hot bowl of soup. Like I could literally eat soup every night and be just fine! And this creamy tomato basil soup is the perfect dinner option for a cold night!

I recently partnered with a company called Mad Dash Mixes and I could not be more excited to tell you guys about it! They make preparing soup for dinner even easier than you could have imagined!

All you do is order a mix from them and then add a minimal 1-3 ingredients and viola, your soup is finished!

It usually just takes 20 minutes to throw it all together. I’m telling you, these mixes are heaven sent for a quick weeknight dinner!

So my very first soup I tried was this creamy tomato basil soup and it did not disappoint. Keep reading to see just how easy it is to prepare and I just may have a coupon code for you to use on your order with them too!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
The perfect comfort meal- creamy tomato basil soup with a honey pumpkin cornbread muffin!

Ingredients Needed:

So all you have to do to create this delicious dinner or lunch is combine the mix with just three other simple ingredients:

  • 2 10.75oz cans of tomato puree
  • 1 1/2 cups of cold water
  • 2 cups of whole milk (I didn’t have whole milk on hand and just used our regular 1% milk and it turned out just fine!)
Mad Dash Mix for Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
Here is what the soup packet looks like. Click here to order this one!

Directions:

After you combine all the ingredients, you just bring it to a boil and then let it simmer for just 10 minutes. How incredibly easy is that?! This soup would go perfectly with a grilled cheese sandwich.

I unfortunately did not have the ingredients for that, so I made these honey pumpkin cornbread muffins to go with it instead and it turned out delicious!

Ingredients for Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
Literally all the ingredients you need!

And the good news is that I also have a coupon code to share with you! Just use Charity10 when checking out for 10% off your total order. And these mixes are so cheap anyways, it’s a steal!

Most mixes are only $6 a piece and you can’t beat that, let alone subtracting 10% off as well! And did I mention that they don’t just have soup mixes, but they have dips, desserts, sides, meat seasonings and even some gluten-free options as well!

These mixes would definitely make a perfect Christmas present! Click here to go to their website and view all the mixes they have to offer!
