Stretching soup

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 >

DC: The Capitol & Open City

DC: Founding Farmers

After a really exhausting day, we were all ready for an early dinner.  I’m talking 5 pm early. And so we made our way to Founding Farmers.  This place was recommended to me by a few different people, so I was really looking forward to it.  Unfortunately, I had a less than great interaction with the staff when I called ahead inquiring about the ability to accommodate our party of five (including one person in a wheelchair).  Not only did they tell me they don’t take reservations (which I later found out was false –… Read more >
