Confessions of a Foodie Mom: Soup “Cravings” and Cookies by the Fire

I’m not doing terribly well in the weight loss department. After a warm and sunny summer and September, we’ve had some of what Winnie-the-Pooh would definitely call “blustery days”. I just want to curl up by the fireplace and listen to the rain on the roof. It seems like a good time to bake cookies with the kids too. And, I crave chocolate.

That equals a gallon per person … Continue reading →
