Tis the time of year for living like a hermit. And even if you’re making a concerted effort to get out despite your post-holiday malaise, chances are, you’re hunkering down at your favorite hole-in-the-wall and not making too many friends. The solution? Hosting a community soup swap! That’s exactly what Amy Thompson of the blog Progressive Pioneer did! It’s the perfect way to connect with other people in your neighborhood while sharing some homemade goodness. To see how Amy lured her neighbors into cooking, canning and sharing, read her inspiring article here.

I live on the North Side of Chicago with my best friend and spouse David Paul Downs and our lovable, mischievous pets, Tomato, Peanut, and Butter. I spend my time developing my urban homestead, riding my bike, reading, sewing for my business Pierogi Picnic, volunteering, and growing my elevated veggie garden. When I'm not knee deep in pastries or fabric, I am coordinating volunteers and fosters for The Anti-Cruelty Society. Visit my website and blog at Pierogi Picnic.
