Super Natural Cooking

Recently, I've become obsessed with this cookbook by Heidi Swanson. And not so recently obsessed with her blog/web cookbook! She's a genius. First recipe I tackled from the book=Spring Minestrone, featured on the cover. and I'm drunk with love...
I like: because she gives background nutritional facts to her ingredients and her recipes are truly healthy and delicious, most are vegetarian or vegan. The good ol' library lent me this and I'm distraught since our time together is coming to an end. I have a feeling this one's going in the permanent collection.

WAHOOOOOO!

Last night, Paige and Robert came over for dinner and (the game) wahoo! I was very satisfied with the way dinner turned out, especially the appetizer, so I'm including the recipes. We started off with hummus and olive oil crackers all homemade. For the main course, I made a vegetable tortellini soup with salad. Very light, but filling. If you get a chance, try the olive oil crackers, they're really easy and so delicious, it's also really nice to know that you can make these at home vs. spending $5 on the alternative at the store for half the quantity.

In case anyone was wondering, Derek won the game of Wahoo! He had a slow start, but finished strong. Throughout the game he plays the innocent role but secretly thinks of himself as a sniper. Talk about your game face. It was fun!

I'm also including a few of Paige and Robert's engagement portraits taken last week, because that's what I do!
