welcome february!

another week is in full swing. i keep thinking today is monday. it's not. it is time to congratulate myself - and anyone else who lives in a gray, wintry climate - for making it through the month of january! i always find january to be the longest and hardest month of the year, and i am always ready for february to arrive. how do you get through the month of january?

last night was delicious beans and rice for dinner. and braised turnips. and a salad. it was all a success. i used to work the night shift, and between my work, my husband's work and school, and adjusting to parenting, meals were mostly healthy, but definitely one of the lowest things on the priority list. i am so thankful to have the energy and time now to be able to cook healthy, nutritious, and yummy meals for our family.

we're just up to the usual over here today. you know...crawling around while wearing dish gloves.


i guess i should post what we are having for dinner tonight since this post is partly mostly about food. i have wild rice soaking for chicken and wild rice soup. and i think there will be some coconut flour bread to go with it. we're supposed to get a huge snowstorm tonight, so i think that is the perfect meal. oh - and i made baked oatmeal for breakfast today. so yummy! (i love the recipes on nourishedkitchen.com and have found every one i've tried to be a success so far! i highly recommend.)
 
i am not-so-secretly hoping my love will have a snow day tomorrow. probably not...but it never hurts to hope!
