Sometimes Simple, Sometimes Grand, Always Declicious
I’m not sure why I waited so long to get this soup up on the blog. I love one pot meals and this dish definitely fits into that category. It’s a staple at our house all through the cold weather season. Not that you need convincing, of course, but here’s why I can’t stop eating the stuff:…
I may not be a fan of cold weather, but if there’s one thing I can say in favor of the dog days of winter it’s that the comfort food is worth the chill. For me, soups, stews and nourishing whole grain dishes all rank up there with hugs and warm blankets. I simply love to bite into a warm hearty bowl of cold weather food.

First fitness post in the HOUZZZ!
Ok gang. Day one and I thought it might be fun to talk about what it means to be “healthy”. Loaded topic, right?

With Memorial Day officially in the tail lights, it’s time to begin ushering in the warm weather season. The boys have one week of school left and then we turn off the alarm clocks and turn on the lazy days of summer. Well… maybe not so lazy if you’re in this family. We’re taking a week to recover and then it’s full steam ahead with camps, travels and summer school programs. This year we’ll be coasting everywhere from Delaware to Hilton Head to Minneapolis and back again. I’m actually going to be attempting my first overnight drive cross country with all three boys and no husband in tow for moral support (and associated heavy lifting). Wish me lots and lots of luck; I’ll be fortunate to make it out in one piece.

Granola bars are a hot ticket item in this house. Believe it or not, we eat our way through about six to eight boxes a week. My husband fancies them as an accompaniment to his morning cup of freshly brewed joe. And, in the spirit of true marital bliss, I’ll wholeheartedly agree with his start of the day assessment. The kids love that they can bound downstairs in the morning and grab their favorite flavor; no adult intervention required. As you can probably guess, I appreciate this aspect as well.
