Lately I have been a food blogger that hasn’t wanted to cook.  I think it’s because it has just been “summer-like” here far too long this year.  The weather has finally cooled off and I”m ready to get back into cooking and baking.  My family is about to encounter soup season and all things baked.  The holidays are coming up, which is my prime baking time and I still want to cook up some quick healthy meals for us without having to give up time baking.
