So. It is February 1st and I have spring fever. Something is wrong with this picture. It was 57 degrees today. At 3:20 I decided to take some comp time and leave work early.

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.

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
