Blizzards, Blahs and Blogs
The winter blahs have been threatening to take over in my house. I’ve been fighting to stay motivated, when it would be so easy to check out and wait for spring to come. We’ve simply been buried here…would we really be missed all that much if we just went into hibernation until oh, about mid March?
But finding new inspiration always helps to lift my spirits. I’ve been enjoying a couple of new food blogs which I’ve added to the food section of my links page. Nothing like a new recipe to warm up our dinners or just something fresh to brighten up these dull winter afternoons.
We tried these, from The Nourishing Gourmet and found them to be economical, filling and tasty! (I’m hoping hubby likes taking them in his lunches on occasion!) I added some Italian seasoning to the filling, because I find it hard to resist a little basil and oregano…
And by following the links at Simple Bites this weekend, I was inspired to try my hand at risotto once again. Or maybe I should quit while I’m ahead. Oh, the suspense.
Oh, and those cookies in the pic? Just a brownie mix with a little drizzle of white chocolate. Yum.
