Read. Write. Live deliberately.
The Internet swallowed me. It seriously did. I hopped on the social media bandwagon and then…overwhelm. So many people – so many good people – to meet. And so many really amazing things to read. I couldn’t keep up. So I buried my head in the sand, stepped back, and said “whoa.” I am truly…
It’s been a week. So many things going on here I can’t even sort them out quite right. But it’s good. It’s a good kind of whirlwind to be caught up in. Let’s get to it because I still have about fifteen things to finish tonight. First, I have to be pretty happy about the…
Well, I think we may finally be up and running smoothly for the year. Even with a snow day Monday and Kidzilla home not feeling well Tuesday, the regular routine seems to be in place once again. And maybe even with some improvements in the works – who knows? I’m excited to get this list…
Several years ago, my Mom had a fairly extended period of kitchen experimentation. In those pre-Pinterest days, Mom would sit with her impressive cookbook collection and look for new meals to prepare for our family. She liked to find new and different ways to prepare fairly standard ingredients. My Mom is a great cook. Most of…
We have been busy here, friends! I have to tell you this. I can’t remember quite enjoying the time leading up to the holidays as much as I am this year. It’s different. I could ramble on here for a few paragraphs about all the specifics of why, but I’m not going to. Let me…
Sometimes good food does more than fill your belly. Every now and then food has the power to actually transport you back in time. And that’s exactly what happened when I tasted this stuffed pepper soup. First of all, it’s just flat-out delicious. If you like stuffed peppers, you will love this soup. And if you don’t like…
If you’re waiting for the spicy butternut and vegetable “stoup” recipe I promised, it’s still coming. But this week I made homemade chicken noodle soup because it was necessary. The Fab Hub is sick. (Again.) Normally, the man has the immune system of steel. He rarely gets sick and when he does, it’s like 24-hour…
I know, I know. It’s cold and it’s snowing. It feels like winter, not late autumn. But I promise you this autumn vegetable soup will warm you up from head to toe and from the inside out! I am not a big fan of traditional vegetable soup. I don’t know why because I do love…
My Husband tells me that I second-guess myself too much. He’s probably right. Most often, I do my second-guessing in the kitchen. Is this really going to be enough for four people? That doesn’t seem like enough seasoning. Maybe the soup is too thin. And so I will very often make changes based on that bit…
There is nothing like grilled cheese and tomato soup. The Hub and Kidzilla love the combo so much that when everyone else runs to the store ahead of a winter blizzard to buy milk and bread, I get marching orders for the makings of grilled cheese and tomato soup. It’s snow day food around here.…
