Broccoli Cheese Soup

December 26, 2008

When I was pregnant with Lil’ C, I had really bad morning sickness all 9 months of it. Almost all food including rice turned my stomach. For some unexplained reason, the only food that I could take were the soups from Panera Bread. I guess that is why nowadays Lil’ C loves going to Panera [...]

There’s a saying that goes “Be careful what you wish for or it might just come true”. Well, we wished for a white Christmas and we got what we wished for & much much more. We got pounded by snow!! There’s probably a foot of snow outside my house. We love the snow but I [...]
