Here's to a great year ahead!

I’ve had a great start to the New Year: our family breakfast was largely made ahead so we could just sit and enjoy (or, enjoy it as much as I could with two children who don’t like to sit through a meal). Then while the kids played, we read the paper cover to cover and I caught up on old magazines. While they napped, we worked out, and then enjoyed (very healthy) homemade vegetable soup (with a side of, achem, decadent cheese drizzled with Lulu White Truffle Honey). As a total aside, if you like honey, then you must get a jar of this stuff. My friend brought it to book club, drizzling it over La Tur cheese with a sliver of dried fig and it was utterly amazing. The earthiness of the truffle oil, combined with the rich honey. So good, that you can imagine my excitement when I remembered she’d left the jar here, after getting ready to sit down to heaping bowls of (did I mention, very healthy) veggie soup.

Anyway, my children are still asleep so I am going to go back to those magazines and the bliss of a quiet house. Postings will begin again, in earnest, as soon as I nail down the best days to write…since 2010 is going to be the year I get balanced. More on that balance idea, tips for getting back to feeling “mom-a-licious”, and lots of great recipes I develop, or come across, to come! Here’s to a great year ahead!
