I found this idea on Meg's blog
I could have sat there all day
with my tea
painting hearts.
Calming.
For Lent I gave up
all processed foods.
I'm eating only clean
whole foods.
I bought this book
a while back.
I made this Goodness Soup
yesterday.
I love the name.
And I've never cooked with kombu
before.
It's good
and filling.
I think I'll be using this
cookbook a lot.
The kids are on vacation this week.
We went to the Vineyard for a few days
to visit my mom
and my sister and her kids.
We always have so much fun!
Hannah had a doctors appointment
at Children's yesterday and one tomorrow.
That's it.
Exciting stuff huh?
The soup looks delish! I love reading about your days with Griffin at home. Glad you had snow. We are still waiting for ours...and it is 73 degrees today.
ReplyDeleteI just ate my third donut for the day. . .my giving up coffee is making me crave sweets. . . Giving up processed foods is impressive! Way to go!
ReplyDeletewow, no processed foods for 40 days?! i'm incredibly impressed - you're sure to be a whole new person!! definitely curious to hear about hannah's new routine, not to mention your journey ... so comforted to know that children's is doing so well by you - who is the doc? we've been at mass general's pediatric GI unit for about 3 years, but i'm always doing my homework ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat soup looks yummy. I have read on many blogs how they are giving up processed foods. I am trying to cut back but I have to say that it is VERY hard and I do not thing I can go all the way.
ReplyDeleteThose hearts are cute. I think I could sit and paint those for hours too. The name of that soup sounds so neat. I think I would make it just for the name. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeletePraying for you and Hannah <3
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I need to give up processed foods again. Since teaching, it's been easy to grab a bar for breakfast and lunch. It's been too easy to be lazy about it. I'm catching up in blogland, and so thankful the you have some answers for Hannah- and that she's responding well to the treatment. We've had a fall and winter of Doctors visits too with Sofi. She's been diagnosed with absence seizures- basically a childhood form of Epilepsy. I've gone through all the emotions..from thinking I was crazy last Winter when I first noticed it. We're still not seizure free, but she is doing so much better. I forget about them on many a day...until it's time for a dose of meds. Hugs to you sweet Pam!
ReplyDeleteYou are strong! Giving up all processed foods. Wish I had the strength.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought I pretty much knew what most ingredients were, but you've got me stumped. What is kombu?
Thinking of you and Hannah! Hope the appt goes well.
