About the author
It is still summer but I love the creams, my favorite always will be the tomato soup or cream, it is delicious and full of nutrients, and well those that you mention here seem very nice too, perfect for a light dinner for example, to share with some friend maybe.
Winter creams…mmmm 🙂 I love anything that has a cream in it. Most of the time they’re not healthy for you at all, but these recipes really don’t sound too bad. Most of those ingredients are easily foudn, which I think is key to making a good recipe!
