Kitchen Healing
“What’s for dinner?” I asked, mounting the yellow Cosco stool in the corner of the kitchen. “Tuna casserole. Bad day?” chop chop She always knew. “Yeah.” “You’ll have more.” Her eyes never left the cutting board, but her attention was fully on me. I felt tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. “I…

#10Thankful – Standing in Motion
I believe I am standing in motion. I worked on a thousand things all week, produced results, and yet I somehow feel as though I have accomplished little because none of my projects can be moved to the “finished” list. But maybe finished does not always equal successful (or vice versa) and just being in process is quite a good thing…

Soup of the Week – Healing Cabbage Soup for a Cold
Know what you do when you suddenly come into an abundance of cabbage heads? You make soup! At least that’s what I do… For the last couple of years, we have split a CSA share with my Husband’s parents. As our season ended this fall, they were out of town so we inherited both halves of…

TToT – The Stuff of Distraction
Sometimes I get distracted. Last weekend, I intended to post a second TToT because I had all the things to be thankful for. Then I forgot where I wrote them. I found a draft in my drafts folder. It may or may not be the intended second TToT. Either way, I’m going to snag the couple…

TToT – Birthdays and Life, Part 2
It’s birthday time again! Well, it was. Tuesday was my birthday and it was quite possibly the most absurd one I’ve had in a while – maybe ever. The day started off fine and quite as usual with a Happy Birthday text from Super Sister at 12:01 AM. Always. I love it. I am thankful…

FTSF – It’s Not Easy Eating Green
When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, I don’t have much to say on the topic. My Daughter, however, has a bit of an opinion – YUCK! It’s not the holiday she has a problem with. It’s the green. When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, all the food is green. Green milkshakes. Green candy. Green…

TToT – Coldness and Light
I do not like the short dark days of winter. OK, I really just don’t like winter. I can handle cold if it means above freezing. I don’t mind snow if I’m inside and it’s not in the double digits of measurable snowfall. But when the temperature reads in the single digits and the snow…

Soup of the Week – Spiced Cauliflower and Sudden Growth
I am alone today. I was alone yesterday, too. Kidzilla is in school for the second day in a row with no snow day or delayed start. The Hub’s ankle is feeling better and he went back to work yesterday. I and the Rotten Cats are quietly and peacefully doing our thing. I miss them,…

Smoothie Week – What’s Your Weirdest?
I’ve been drinking smoothies daily for about a year and a half. I can’t remember exactly why I started but I’m pretty sure it had something to do with an abundance of CSA vegetables and Pinterest. Put those two things together and you’ll find plenty of inspiration! This week Williams-Sonoma is celebrating Smoothie Week. The…

Soup of the Week – Pureed Broccoli Soup
Good things come to those who wait, right? Thanks for waiting for this week’s soup! I really did not think to plan ahead for this post. Well, I did – I decided I would make broccoli soup, but I did not exactly set aside time to actually make it. But I know you’ll forgive me because…
