Munchkin continues to play catch up with the online cooking class, and we’re enjoying the fruits of her labor. Today, Munchkin tackled homemade chicken broth & chicken noodle soup. She is very picky with soup, and she gave herself two thumbs up on this lesson. Daddy and I had to agree. Daddy is excited because he’ll get to take the leftover soup for lunch tomorrow. Yum!!

Normally, we need to use small corn tortillas, so these were a real treat. Everything was very tasty, and Munchkin was thrilled that she was able to help out as Daddy and I were busy working on the house.

I didn’t know if we’d be able to go as planned. The day before we were scheduled to leave I hadn’t even packed for the trip. Thankfully, I was able to get things packed (with much effort) that evening, and we left as scheduled. On the drive there, I lost my voice. It took most of last week to get it back. We had a…

As you know, Munchkin and I have been really enjoying the Back to Basics Cooking Class offered by Shelley from One Roast Vegetable. Since I don’t want you to miss out on this great class, I wanted to post a reminder that the registration for the the next 14-week Back to Basics Cooking Class begins today, March 24th.

We’ve missed a couple of weeks due to illness and traveling, but that doesn’t matter as…
