Do you have a happy place?

Mine is the beach.

I feel so blessed to have spent this fall and winter here:

Though I love it, usually by this time of year the weather starts to wear on me.

I DON'T do cold and live in denial each year that it is ever going to get cold.

Seriously, other than my running shoes I don't even own a closed toe pair of shoes. I just run around in my flip-flops all winter (silently) complaining about how cold it is.

Crazy-Wendy-Logic: If I buy appropriate clothing I am preparing for cold and in the process must accept that even in Florida the weather gets yucky in the winter.

This year I can't complain. We had some nasty weather over the holidays but January was pretty amazing.

Today, however, it is cold.

Like it got down into the 30's this morning-cold. Brrrr!

(Good thing for me I went to the grocery store yesterday. :))

I'm the crazy Floridian who acts like those of you up north would act with a foot of snow at the first sign of frost on my windshield.

Cancel everything! Build a fire! Buy snow bread!

And of course, make soup.  This Tomato Cheddar Quinoa Soup is just perfect for days like today.

Today's soup is one you have to try - simple & delicious!

Do you like the cold?

    If I can't find roasted tomato, could I use normal diced tomatoes from a tin?
