What a weekend. It all started with a Friday wedding. Ok, actually it all started with a really awesome breakfast. Oats topped in a perfectly fried egg and avocado. Kyle came home from work early, so I got to eat lunch with him, which was a nice change in routine. I had Amy’s golden lentil soup. It was stellar! I have already gone to the store to get another can, that’s how much I loved it. I think this is now the best Amy’s soup I’ve ever tried. On the side I had carrots… Read more >

It rained here in Los Angeles last week (and effed up my tomato plant, but I don’t want to talk about that right now – so mad!!), so I do have an excuse to make stew in July. I know I said last week’s meals were all planned out, but this stew was actually an unplanned meal. I was going to make chili in the crock pot, but after making the other meals (breakfast quiches, Caprese Caesar pasta salad, etc.) I noticed I had leftover veggies and stuff that I could easily make… Read more >

I made a comment last week to Kyle about how the 4th of July and watermelon always make me think of Pollyanna. He didn’t really respond and then a few minutes later mentioned he didn’t know who or what I was talking about. When I said it was a movie, he claimed he’d never seen it. [What!?!?] Growing up, Pollyanna was pretty high in the rotation at our household. Along with The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, The Music Man, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The King and I, and Fiddler on the Roof. So now… Read more >

I figured a break from DC posts was due. This beautiful meal can be made effortlessly – and you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry already! Who doesn’t have a few cans of soup lying around? Or (brown) rice. It doesn’t really matter what soup you use. Anything bean or lentil based is perfect. But that’s not to say a chunky vegetable and tomato soup wouldn’t work wonderfully as well. I’m partial to Dr. McDougall’s because they are vegan (many are gluten free too) and I like supporting his efforts to… Read more >
