I’m going to take a short break from my honeymoon posts to bring you an exciting contest and giveaway! When the lovely people at Progresso and MyBlogSpark asked me to review some of their light and 100-calorie soups, I of course jumped at the chance! I’ve been eating these amazing soups for years, and I [...]
I have a monster Hanukkah recap post in the works for this evening, but until then, a few things from the weekend to tide you over: I’m giving away a fantastic cookbook! Just comment about which of the chef’s 3 books you’d like on that post, and you’ll be entered! We had a Hanukkah-themed Cute Food [...]

There was snow yesterday. Today it decided to get cold. Very cold. Über cold, if you will. Yeah. Thats cold. What to cook when it’s cold like this? Something that will warm us up from the inside out… soup! I had the thought of baked potato soup while making a grocery list with Adam, and [...]
TEN MORE DAYS!!!! Only TEN days until our wedding!!! Needless to say, cooking and blogging haven’t been in the forefront of my mind… though the wheels are definitely spinning for meals. When I left work today, there was a chill in the air. Not the “oh its 40* and it’s going to get warmer” kind [...]
I went to work today, and came home feeling almost fine… which is GOOD considering how lousy I felt over the weekend! Thank you SO much for all the well-wishes…each little comment brightened my day and really did make me feel that much better! You’re all the best! So, you know how sometimes you get [...]
Did anyone else have the LONGEST monday ever? I woke up in a daze, much like the one that comes after other big events…so much of yesterday was a blur, and I woke up wondering if it really happened! The kids were nutty, I had a headache, and my classroom was so cold that by [...]
IN MY SOUP!! Ok, not really, but to continue with my “song title theme” of the posts this week, I couldn’t think of a song that went with the amazing soup I made tonight. My friend Laurie reminded me of this Shirley Temple song… ever heard it? Tonight’s post is not going to be all [...]

If you’ve ever been to the Olive Garden (or the O.G. as we call it), you’ve probably seen Zuppa Toscana on their menu. It’s one of the things they’re famous for there, in addition to the oh-so-fabulous breadsticks and salad. Adam LOVES this soup. I’m new to it, and I absolutely LOVE it. Too bad [...]

Happy Sunday! One thing that stinks about posting my Sunday dinner is that it means that tomorrow is already Monday… at least I get a 3 day weekend soon!! Adam and I aren’t big into football, or the Super Bowl, so we decided to head out to the grocery store as soon as the game [...]
It’s a rare thing when Adam specifically asks for something for dinner, so when, over the weekend, he asked me to make white chili one night, I was happy to oblige. We haven’t had white chili for a while, but I make regular “red” chili fairly often. I had my first experience with white chicken [...]
