Sometimes it really pays to think ahead, especially in this heat. When you know you’ll have a long day and won’t feel like cooking when you come home, make a plan.

HAPPY DANCE! What a lifesaver to have something ready when you arrive home. Just sit down and enjoy. So quick and easy – PERFECT for hot weather!

A while back I had read about freezing your veggie scraps, then making homemade vegetable broth with them. I had two bags full of veggie scraps. I worked hard to have a good mix. Nothing that would give the broth a bad taste (i.e. cruciferous veggies) or be too soft (zucchini), etc. It came time to make the broth, I had a freezer bag jam packed. Then there was a carrot recall. Ahhh, deciding not to risk death for vegetable broth I tossed it all and started over…

This soup is FABULOUS! It warms the house and smells divine. I LOVE soups with coconut milk (especially versus heavy cream!) – the coconut milk adds such a nice, subtle wonderful taste and the spices that go with coconut milk… #ohlala!

Homemade granola is a heavenly treat. If you’ve never had it now’s your chance to whip a batch together, share with friends, or freeze for later. I put it in Ball canning jars and it stays fresh until it’s gone (about a week?) – pictured I have my lunch: plain Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and mango with a sprinkle of granola (and sometimes a few dark chocolate chips, like maybe 7) – whoa! A power meal that keeps me full for a long time!

I last made these lemon squares back in 1999. Yes, the year I was born! I remember them because they were so ama-zing. I made them for a small dinner party and we ate them all.
