Wow, it’s amazing how every year at the beginning of NaBloPoMo I am worried if I will really be able to stick to blogging every single day of the month and then I am always a bit surprised when the last day is here and it flew by in the blink of an eye. If you participated…
I saw some other bloggers share their Christmas wishlists again this year and I think they’re always kind of fun, so I put together mine. Those are all “would-love-to-have” wishes (ok, maybe except for the iphone 5 which we’re definitely going to upgrade to in January. I already decided with J that they’re going to…
I am a big fan of soups and stews, especially in the winter. They’re easy to make, easy to freeze, healthy and delicious! What else could you want from a meal? I love stews with lots of veggies. They hardly have any (unnecessary) calories and are so filling. You could easily make this chicken soup…

We’ve lost the meaning of Thanksgiving by Caryn (A Day in the Life of…). I very much agree – Thanksgiving is not about shopping. Brussel Sprouts for Beginners by Ashlee (Where my heart resides). Love brussel sprouts! 19 years and forever by Chrissy (Whimsical Poppysmic). This is so sweet – what a wonderful anniversary! Spread…

Well, we have something called Erntedankfest (“harvest festival of thanks”), which is often celebrated on the first Sunday in October, but it’s primarily a rural and religious celebration.There isn’t an official national Thanksgiving holiday on a particular day as in the U.S….
I think I have mentioned that I’ve been trying a lot of new recipes lately and some of them have quickly made it on our “once-a-week-must-have” meal list. I found this one on skinnytaste.com , a great website with easy healthy recipes (complete with prep time and nutritional information). I did tweak this one a little…
