Well it was back to work for me last week, with the unpacking of boxes and phone calls to settle into our new community pushed to the end of each day. With my cooking time cut down to whatever minutes I could spare, this warming veggie soup was perfect. It goes together in minutes and…
Read MoreWelcome, Alicia!
Last week I shared my humbling experience of being caught off guard by all of the newness I encountered following our long-awaited move.
