Do you ever just want to pat yourself on the back for getting through a day? I sort of want to today. But I’m resisting 🙂 I…… Continue reading 2012 – Day 30: A Case of the Mondays
This weekend was a really interesting mix of low key moments and getting together with friends. I made sure to get some rest so that my work week will (hopefully) not feel as daunting to me. Friday I worked late, yet again. But thankfully I went out to dinner with two of my friends after…… Continue reading Weekend Recap
Hello there bloggies. Tonight is a brief recap, because I am exhausted, in bed, and nearly falling asleep. The week is almost over but tomorrow will be the longest day of the week for me.

The other day I was reading another cooking blog, Je Mange la Ville and I came across a recipe for Black Bean soup. The moment I read the recipe I knew I wanted to make this. It was great to be inspired again to cook. (I’ve been a slacker – the Saturday morning healthy mac…… Continue reading Black Bean Soup Recipe
Just a quick post to tell you how in love I am. I love this black bean soup! It is amazing and simply put one of the best winter time meals I have made up in quite some time! I cannot wait to share the recipe with you tonight. I have had a stressful couple…… Continue reading My Love of Beans…
Wow, I am so ready to hit the hay – but I wanted to do a brief recap before I do. I was able to get up a little earlier than I did the day before, it has been hard to get up so early this week. Is it because it is so cold? I…… Continue reading 2012 – Day 18 National Soup Day
