a food journal
Sometimes, it’s the simplest things in life that make me the happiest.
That first sip of hot coffee on a cold morning (from the 56th adorable Target mug you just had to have). The way the sun hits my son’s eyelashes “just so.” The feeling of crisp, clean sheets. The smell of melted chocolate. The way my dogs always know when I need an extra snuggle….
Today’s recipe can be classified as food I never eat.
What do I mean by that? Well, when it comes to lentils, I almost exclusively eat them in soups and stews (see here and here and here). I rarely eat them in any other capacity, let alone in cold salad form. And I don’t know why! Because I love them….
Can we make frozen treats like this an every day thing?
Gosh, do I have an affinity for frozen desserts. I get it from my dad. He is the ice cream king and when it comes to sugar, it’s almost exclusively his only intake….
Is anyone else still in a food coma?
It’s officially the holiday season, and we kicked things off RIGHT on Thanksgiving. Lots of food, bloody Mary’s, champagne, wine, and family. We promptly followed that up with visiting a Christmas display on Friday, followed by a delicious lunch out. Then, on Saturday we started decorating our own house to the nines…followed by another delicious meal out on Saturday evening. The only thing we’re missing at this point is our actual tree. We get a real one, and last year, we bought it a touch too early and the darn thing was practically dead by Christmas Eve. So, we’re holding out until this weekend to get it up….
