write off.

Yes, indeed. This week is a bit of a write off. We're away for the upcoming weekend with Ken's family and are recycling some of last weeks recipes and left overs in the mean time. Perhaps a date on Tuesday, too, which is another meal gone.

To top it off, I am conducting a bit a complete wheat-free experiment for the next couple weeks. I've done some reading about wheat intolerance and wonder what life without wheat would do for me in a few areas. Today is day 4. So far, so good. Though I am still uncertain if things that have changed so far are because of the wheat, or other environmental factors. Only time will tell. Perhaps time will also cure my desperate craving for chocolate chip cookies, too.

Happy meal making to you this week!

soup recipe.

I made this Italian hamburger soup a month or so ago and absolutely loved it. It is definitely one of my new favorite soups, only I didn't want to type out the whole recipe. Thank goodness for Google...because I found it online. Enjoy!
