Patty Schell
A wife, a mom, a grandmother. I like to create things out of fabric and yarn, cook up things in the kitchen and put words together to make people think. I am currently writing the food column for Broken But Priceless: The Magazine. In addition to my The Party's in the Kitchen and Girl on Adventure blogs, I am also a regular contributor to Refresh Magazine and Be New Today.

During this season of feasting, I am always looking for good ways to make healthier choices that don’t skimp on flavor and leave room for some extra indulgences.
Creamy White Bean Chili
The weather has turned on us here in my part of Southern California. The nighttime temperatures have dipped below freezing and in response, I have been making soup.
