The Sound Of Melting Snow

Today has been so lazy thus far. I think I just needed a morning to do nothing.

IMG_5068Blog

I actually even flopped back in bed and took a 15 minute snooze at one point!

IMG_5067Blog

Although I have to say I am so much happier when I am working on projects! The grass is greener…er…whiter today, I suppose.

This fabulous lunch but some color back in my gray day!!

IMG_5329Blog-2

Matt and I made homemade croutons with the GH Spelt bread. We just cubed them up and drizzled on some Garlic Gold, salt and pepper and broiled them for about 8 minutes. They were SO good!

IMG_5323Blog

Served over a mug of Trader Joe’s Roasted Red Pepper soup – fabbbulous!!! None of that icky metallic onion flavor I hate in packaged soups. We used to keep some Pacific soups on hand all the time and somehow got out of the habit. Soup is so good!

IMG_5326BlogSoup2Blog

Simple salad on the side to use the croutons some more

IMG_5321Blog-2

Drizzled in honey + olive oil and topped with a few TJ’s Rosemary Pecans

Salad-4Blog

IMG_5330Blog

Quite the delicious and filling feast!

IMG_5325Blog-2

We’re going out walking with Faith + Tate in a bit. Otherwise, not much else going on except for the sound of melting snow!

    Sounds like the perfect snow day 🙂 I love TJ’s soups! I agree-they taste yummy and don’t have that ‘canned’ taste to them!
    I love that you make your own croutons! I wonder if it’s possible to make croutons out of any type of bread?
    Have fun on your walk!

    Looks like a great lunch! At first I would think honey & olive oil was an interesting combo but I tried it a month ago & now that’s my dressing of choice! I also like the pacific box soups, esp the Thai sweet potato. Yum!

    I love red pepper soup — I haven’t tried TJs kind though. Those croutons look so good — big and crunchy 🙂

    Enjoy your day Kath!

    That GH bread looks amazing as always. A while back I commented that we didn’t seem to have any GH locations in San Diego. My husband and I moved to Portland just a few weeks ago and I immediately noticed a GH nearby. Woot! I cannot wait to try it out finally!

    Croutons look so good!
    I have a question for you when you have a minute….awhile back you posted a link to another blog when the author was taking heat on what she wrote about body image, she wrote 2 or 3 really excellent response posts to what got everyone all fired up… ringing bells? She said something in one that’s totally been on my mind… she said feeling unhappy about your body is hard, getting out the door and exercising when you don’t feel like it is hard, so pick your hard! I love that and would love to read the post again, but didn’t flag it…any of this sound familiar? Can you point me in the right direction?
    Thanks Kath and give Karen a shout out, been thinking about her this week, so please pass on some good healing prayers from me.

      I don’t remember at all the link you’re talking about. It really doesn’t sound like me – could it have been another blogger?

    Glad you were able to take the morning off and get rested! That soup looks so good, especially on a snowy day.

    I remember when I lived at home how our house used to creek and literally groan under the weight of snow in winter… we could always hear when the snow would shift around!

    I love the idea of homemade croutons! So much yummier than bagged. Also, soup is such a great healthy, easy, filling lunch, but I agree that all the cheap canned ones will get to you. That’s why I love those ones from TJ!

    I have never had that TJs soup..have almost bought it but haven’t. I need to pick it up to keep on hand.

    The tablecloth/linens you have under it, orange and then red/white, just compliment the soup and croutons so much. Great photo staging. I try to notice all these things now 🙂

    I am so much happier when I have a project too and feel like I am accomplishing something. Today I feel joyful that I have a lot to do! Guess that comes from being unemployed and the boredom and frustration that usually goes with that!
