We just got back from a glorious trip to Colorado where we hiked, rode horses, played outside for hours, and spent lots and lots of wonderful time with family. We also had amazing weather. It went from 60 degrees and sunny.
This week I have been having trouble getting back into the swing of things after Thanksgiving. I just sort of feel like I am moving through molasses. And one of the things I haven’t been so excited about doing is cooking- which is quite a rare thing for me. But dinner still needs to get…
