July 4th Breakfast

~*~

Clearly I am not going to be sought after as a food photographer, but you get the idea.  Angel food cake with strawberries, blueberries and coconut shavings.  Whipped cream was offered and declined, strangely enough.  It's so fun to have a special red, white and blue breakfast to start the holiday!

I got the idea for this one from a magazine at the dentist's office yesterday.  Sophie is still in the *no-cavity* club, and I got to be one of those people that surreptitiously rips out recipes.  Well, I thought I was being cool about it, until Sophie asked (rather loudly), "Mom, why are you tearing that magazine?!"  Doh.

Super Soup

~*~

I needed a quick dinner idea last week, and I surfed around on the internet for a good soup recipe.  I was attracted to this one because it has both beans and pasta- family favorites.  I omitted the bacon, parsley and red pepper flakes and it was still really tasty.  Served with a crusty french baguette... yum!  Do you have a favorite soup recipe?  Please share in the comments if you can- I'm always looking for a good soup for these cold winter nights.
