Welcome to Alexa What’s for Dinner

As a busy real estate professional with four active kids and a hungry husband at home, I often ask friends and colleagues, what’s for dinner tonight? So I have compiled our family favorites and will share them with you each week.

Diving into week one of the New Year, let’s begin with Sausage and Spinach Soup. This recipe was shared by my sister Liz. It is a hearty, one-pot soup, perfect for a cold January night.  It’s one of our favorites; let me know what you think.
