Happy Weekend!
I have been trying to eat healthier lately
and with three of our children are on vegan
diets they are making me focus more on
what we are eating.
I am not planning on going vegan but just
adding more veggies and beans and no
red meat to see how that works for us.
So,for lunch today it is one of my
favorite soups ~ cream of carrot using
almond milk.
I love these old brown and cream
soup bowls as well as the really old
transferware soup tureen.
Soup and apricot nectar.
I made Golden Party Loaves that have
grated carrots,apricot nectar and yogurt
in it, making a nice moist healthy loaf.
A large teapot full of tea to
linger over lunch.
In case you are wondering where I keep these
transferware dishes this is the main cupboard
full.
This old cupboard got painted last winter
with a grey/brown mistint. It was cream
before that but I prefer this color on it.
Grab a cup of tea
And since I do have a sweet tooth I
like to have something sweeter to end
the meal. Coconut yogurt,strawberries
and granola hit the spot!
We have a basketball game to go to
shortly as our grandsons team is
in the semi finals. Tonight we go
to another grandson's hockey game.
It doesn't seem long since it was our
children's games we were going to....
so how did that happen so quickly????
Anyway, I hope you have a fun weekend!

Wow!!! I love your fabulous ideas for lunch. Your cupboard is beautiful, and I love the color of your cabinet. Yes, we are watching our granddaughters grow up. Our oldest granddaughter is in nursing school. Another granddaughter is starting college in the fall, and we just try to stay healthy. Love your posts. I love to look in the window of your life.
Joyously,
Betty
Cream of carrot soup is one of my favorites! But yours looks delicious in the beautiful bowls!
Hello Carolyn, I live in the UK and have only just discovered your lovely blog. I am really enjoying reading the posts. Would you be able to share your recipe for Golden Party Loaves? They sound delicious and we have nothing like them in the UK - I would love to have a go at making one. Kind regards.
OMG, Carolyn! That all looks some good! Recipes? Can we have this next time I come for lunch?! Haha
It's very cold here today! Brrrr... This would be welcome, indeed!
Wishing you a cozy, peaceful & healthy Sunday.

Your post made me hungry. Everything looks delicious. I am like you. I like to finish a meal with something sweet. I really think that is the way all meals should end! I will be visiting my son in Denver and his wife is so good about eating healthy. I look forward to learning some new recipes. I hope you will share your recipe for the bread. It looks fabulous!
