TToT – Glad to be Alive!
As you may be able to tell from the title, I’ve had a couple of near-miss moments this week. So first and foremost, let me say that I am extremely thankful that the FIVE times this week someone in another car on the road nearly hit me in my car (yes, five) the result was…

Soup of the Week – Hearty Tomato Lentil
This soup was not my idea. I would never have thought of making lentil soup. Tammy from Grown Up, Now What suggested it when commenting on one of my other soup posts and it sounded like a great idea. We hadn’t made a tomato-based soup in a while and I was looking for something different.…

TToT – Later, January!
Goodbye, January! I’m so over you. Why? Because Polar Vortex, that’s why. I never thought I’d be so happy to see the temperature read 32 degrees in my life. Let’s get right down to business. First, I’m going with the theme of being thankful for others’ happiness. Monday of this week, the Fab Hub took…

Soup of the Week – Italian Wedding Soup Redux
Know what I did last week? I made Italian wedding soup – spur of the moment and without having to hit the grocery store or break a sweat. I even had homemade chicken broth at the ready just waiting to be put to use! (More on that homemade broth stuff later.) It was Tuesday night,…

Soup of the Week – Lemon Chicken Orzo Edition
Right now I am enjoying the last hot bowl of last week’s Soup of the Week. OK, the second last. The Fab Hub is enjoying the very last bowl. I asked him about his lunch choice… Me: You’re eating soup. FH: Yeah. It’s good soup. This, he delivered with a hint of incredulousness as if…

Soup of the Week – Snow Day Stew Edition
I know. It’s not soup, it’s stew. And it’s not the soup I made today, either. (Yes, that one’s coming, too. Promise.) I actually made this stew on our first snow day of 2014. It just seemed like the right thing to do. The signs were all there. First, I read this post by Phyllis over…

Soup of the Week – New and Improved Butternut Squash Edition
Butternut squash soup has made an appearance on this blog more than once. It’s a family favorite. Can’t help it. This week’s Soup of the Week is a slight variation and/or improvement on our standard butternut squash soup, though. This one is a creamy butternut squash soup. And it has some of my homemade garbage soup in…

Ten Things of Thankful – Interesting and Mildly Entertaining Edition
I missed doing the Ten Things of Thankful linkup last week. It’s not that I wasn’t thankful for anything…it just…never happened. Sometimes I really think in the midst of the heaviness of life, it’s too easy to forget about those little lighter moments that slip in between the big ones. So this week I have a…

Soup of the Week – Double Veggie Combos
It is fall, friends! If it weren’t for the calendar, I’d still be sure of the change in season. My Mom made stew this weekend and very likely threw open the windows all over the house to let the fall breezes blow through. And that is as sure a sign of fall as anything. Aside from…

Soup of the Week – Trifecta Edition
I skipped Soup of the Week last week because we were on the run. We took Kidzilla to her first major amusement park one day and the next, we were just plain old exhausted. I have to report that Kidzilla has clearly inherited her Fab Dad’s daredevil streak and wanted to go on some crazy big…
