Whew, what a weekend! Where to start?!?! The weather was cold and gloomy all weekend, I have not seen sunlight in over a week now and I’m really starting to miss it. I’m going hiking as soon as we get a sunny weekend! But our weather was a cake walk compared to the rest of […]
Berry Walnut Soup
Ah, finally a lazy weekend after a busy week. I drink a lot of hot tea at work, especially in frosty fall/winter weather. I tried a new tea today, Yogi Detox, that I found at Target. It’s corny, but the randomly insightful sayings on Yogi tea bag labels are uplifting for me, today’s was “By […]
Creamy Broccoli Soup
Happy Monday! Here’s yet another interesting article on junk food and depression that makes me wonder if the depression causes more junk intake or more junk intake leads to depression. On a less serious note, my excess Halloween candy disappeared at record speed today at work! You’d think everyone would be sick of it after […]
Red Pepper Soup
I had a sad thing happen, I cut open a giant spaghetti squash for dinner, but found the insides rotten. Such a waste, I hate that! Oh well, have to try another raw soup tonight. I decided to try one using up one of the red peppers sitting in my fridge and ended up modifying […]
Cucumber Soup
I did it, substituted the banana in my smoothie this morning for a carrot and it did not taste that much different. It was not as sweet and thicker, but still had a nice berry flavor thanks to the blueberries and raspberries. Encouraging and something I’ll probably be doing from now on, keeping the bananas […]
Curry Pumpkin Soup
I’m looking at piles of loose papers on my desk and hampers full on laundry thinking I really should get to that today, I don’t want my house to look like the one I’m watching on BBC America’s Clean House which is much scarier than the US version! Gotta love a show that will show […]
Raw Tomato Basil Soup
Happy Raw Wednesday! I was planning a trip to Apple Hill today with family, but that did not happen thanks to a change in plans. I was bummed because I got today off work to go, trying to go on a weekend this time of year is just insane. But, it apparently was not meant […]
Food Safety & Butternut Soup
This is a scary story … granted, the spinach ecol i was pretty nasty too. It reminded me that I still want to see Food, Inc. but have been putting it off. I know it’s a great, informative movie, but not sure I’m ready for all the bad news in it especially where there’s not […]
Broccoli Soup
Yuck, today is gray, cold and rainy, a preview to our typical winters here and a perfect evening for steaming chili from the slow cooker … oh wait :-) How did it become Monday so quickly? I did get some relax time in this weekend and tried Wii Fit – apparently I really need to […]
Creamy Yellow Squash Soup
It’s Monday already? Feels like I was just there. One thing I did not do enough of this weekend was relax. I got a lot done and crammed most of what I wanted to in, but weekends shouldn’t be so tiring. Especially when facing hours of nap-inducing training seminars. I typically choose quicker recipes for […]
