I have been cooking a lot. I mean, I cook a lot anyway... I've been cooking new stuff lately. I've been toying around with ingredients I don't use often in an attempt to bring some variety to our at-home menu. It's been fabulous. Seriously. I made Zuppa Toscana (yes, the same one from Olive Garden) the other day, red beans and rice tonight... and we've taken to baking our own bread.

You know, we're kind of excited.
