I love some good TV. You know, the shows you binge watch and are actually worth giving up an entire day for! That’s the kind of TV I love. This school year, I have really failed on the TV front. For some reason, I find myself asleep within 20 minutes of turning on a show. … More TV Time
It’s soup season! And while I’m jumping for joy, others in my family don’t believe that soup is a real meal (ahh…Greg!) and aren’t nearly as excited as I am. Since soup is typically out as a dinner option in our house, I decided to make a batch of one of my favorite soups for … More Lemony Lentil Soup
