MORNING JUICE RECIPES
You may remember from an earlier post, that my husband and I have been juicing since about January. We started off with a juice only diet (me for 4 days, my husband for almost two weeks). Now, we still have a juice for breakfast every morning and my husband also drinks one for lunch too. I…

CAPRESE TORTELLINI
We recently planted our garden and I can’t wait until our tomatoes grow so that I can make all of my favorite caprese dishes. I have plenty of basil.

homemade hot cocoa
Yesterday, school and work were cancelled because of a snow storm, so it was the perfect day to sit inside drinking hot cocoa. My husband and the boys spent time snow blowing the driveway and having a snowball fight. I took the much warmer task of making the hot cocoa for when they were done.…
