Would you believe me if I told you there was 3/4 of a box of spinach, 6 stalks of kale leaves, 1 head of broccoli, 6 Brussel Sprouts and 1 Green Jalapeno Pepper in this 2.50 Quart Dish? 
Would you believe me if I told you I took over 100 photos of these vegetables before and after cooking? First, so I could believe myself it actually fit in the dish and second, because well I’m still learning about my camera… Practice takes perfect right! 
Hello 2013!
This is my first post for 2013, and to start the year off I thought I would share our mornings with you. They are very simple, easy going and luckily not usually rushed.

It also has a few projects that have been on my to do list for far too long, and some friends can attest to that, like completing photo albums long overdue. Continue reading
Snow and Soup. Snow and soup. And playing.
It’s been snowing so much lately, and I feel like we have barely left the house. Scotty must have shovelled 4 feet of snow off our deck today from just the last couple days. Continue reading
