Blueberry Morning
We are lucky to live where we do. I honestly think about that everyday. The other morning the kids and I headed to Hicks our local orchard to pick fat blueberries.

Laundry Basket Dinner
The first warm night we headed into the woods for a picnic supper, only a laundry basket was more our style. Adam says that Vermonters are like turtles, they crawl out of hiding to sun themselves on a log the first warm day. That is …
This Moment (A Day Late)

One Year Ago
I got a good chuckle today going through the blogs posts from a year ago. I wanted to see what I was writing just before my first big race. Hope you enjoy…
“As I was running with my friend Mandy one day, she told me that the end of a marathon was similar to giving birth. It was all mental and you had to really focus.
As I get ready for this race, I feel as if I am preparing for birth. I’m resting. I’m pampering myself. I’m being very careful about what I eat. I’m hydrating. I’m nesting a bit, getting out all of my running gear, gazing lovingly at it, running my fingers across it and smiling. I’m packing my race over night bag…what shall I bring? The grey spandex shirt or the blue one? I’m putting together a running playlist to get me through the pushes. I’m talking about it a lot.
It’s my first big race. It’s a half marathon, which I know, is not a full marathon, but less than a year ago I couldn’t run a half a mile. This weekend I will run 13.1 together with my team and a marathon will soon follow, I’m already hooked.”
This photo is titled “Long Run”.

Our Last Distance
Bittersweet. At this point my body is tired. Cranky with distance. It has been a long whirlwind winter. That is truly is how I feel. Winter in Vermont can only be described as long cold nights, short cold days and upon reflecting, over in the …
A Simple Day in my Kitchen
You will have to excuse my photographs, I’m still trying to figure out this whole blog thing. Frantically, snapping pictures as things bubble away on my stove. I am hoping to upgrade my camera, in due time!
Anyhow, here is a little snippet of what a typical day looks like in my working kitchen…
We will start with lunch, Tuna Salad & Artichoke Melts.
Washing leeks, so many leeks!
Potato Leek Soup, Sauteed Leeks and Roasted Chicken Thighs.

Chicken Black Bean Enchiladas.
The Beginnings of Chicken Noodle Soup with roasted chicken and freshly made stock.
Bolognese Sauce.
And these are the rascals I have to put up with while working! Good thing they are so cute!
