Soup of the Week – Chicken Soup of Necessity
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…

TToT – Thanksgiving Thankfulness
As I started to put this post together, it occurred to me that writing a thankful list at Thanksgiving was no different than any other week. Mission accomplished, I guess! If by listing the things we are thankful for each week, we’ve created a mindset where we no longer see giving thanks as a once-a-year…

Soup of the Week – Autumn Vegetable
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…

Winter Drab
Nearly all of the trees were bare now. Just days ago, the world was alive with the vibrant hues of mid-Autumn. The sun set every branch aflame with its golden touch and the red, orange, yellow exploded everywhere. But now the trees stood naked before the glaring eye of winter chill, their branches stripped by…

TToT – Short and Sweet
Well, I had grand plans of being ready to go with this post on Friday afternoon. Don’t know what happened. Yes, I do. I’ve been denying that I’m having an RA flare for about three days now. I’m moving slowly. I just need to make up my mind to acknowledge it and get through it.…

Soup of the Week – Homemade Cream of Mushroom
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…

What I Learned from Eggs
My Daughter asked for eggs for breakfast this morning. She did it completely right, too. She decided last night that she wanted eggs for breakfast this morning. She asked politely if someone would make her eggs for breakfast. She even specified the preparation method – hard-boiled, please. Well done, Zilla! But despite the advance notice,…
