A couple weeks ago I went to lunch at a deli down the street from my work and had the most delicious Tomato Gorgonzola soup. I decided to try and make it myself. I scoured the internet for a recipe and ended up mixing several together to make this one.

I promised Kastarte2 that I would post some curry recipes, so here is one of my favorites. It is from a restaurant here in Seattle called Cafe Flora (hubby bought me their cookbook for Mother's Day last year!). I usually eat here once every few weeks!

My boyfriend will be leaving for his first tour at the end of the year and we have been avoiding the topic for a long time. Now that it is soon appraching I have taken an interest in doing everything I can to be prepared.
Well, I recently came across USMC gals ( http://www.usmcgals.com/ ), an online community for all those people who have a loved one in the military.

Last night I made this for all of us. For Baby J I pureed her portion and added some pureed carrots and peas. She gobbled it up.

Summer is right around the corner and nothing says summer like grilling. This fuss-free veggie dish can be prepared ahead and kept at room temperature before being tossed with the greens. The recipe contains quite a high percentage of calories from fat because of the olive oil, but the total calorie count is pretty low.
