Yesterday was our 10th wedding anniversary. (or as my beloved said, "an eternity")
Hooray for us!
2 kids, 2 miscarriages, 2 birds, 3 cats, 2 hamsters, being a caregiver for a family member, and moves around the country.
Whew.
The girls were very excited when I explained earlier in the week that yesterday would be our anniversary. I think I said something about how it was to remember when we got married, and that it was romantic. (mainly b/c they think it's funny when we talk about being romantic)
W drew us a very sweet picture and left a scavenger hunt to find it and a necklace that R made.
R also wrote out 3 little notes that I want to share here for posterity. (i've corrected the spelling so we can all read it, although she did a great job of sounding out the words)
1. anniversary is about loving your family
2. anniversary is about love
3. love your honey
I told her that I thought her notes were very sweet, and she said something along the lines of "it's right isn't it?"
Haha. I love it. She nailed it on the head.

Yum
We're trying out Greenling and so far I love it. They include recipe ideas, etc... and it forces me to use produce I may not otherwise think about buying.
In related news, eating gluten and dairy free can be tasty, but I haven't really been exploring recipes recently b/c of being busy...so I took today's lunch as my time to cook something for myself.
Sweet Potato soup and Corn bread
Hooray!
For the soup -
Caramelize 1 onion in a soup pot. Add sweet potatoes (I used 3) and whatever else (I added a turnip b/c I had one). Add water to cover and boil. I went ahead and threw in a bouillon cube for a little flavor b/c I didn't have any stock on hand. Boil. When tender, use immersion blender (or whatever you want) to make it smooth. I added some chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. When I served myself, I garnished it with a diced green garlic from my produce bin. Yum!
Here is the recipe I used for the cornbread. Very tasty - I had mine with a little coconut oil and honey. I used regular corn meal, so I only used 1 cup of milk instead of the 2 called for in the recipe.
Hooray for feeling like I had a decent tasty and fulfilling meal.
