Today I was in need of something hot and nourishing, so I made some miso soup with kale and shiitake mushrooms, inspired by this recipe. It was quick, easy, and refreshingly delicious.
What is your favorite homemade soup for cold winter days?

Happy Birthday, Dad!
Today is my dad's birthday! Here's wishing you a wonderful one, dad/papaw! We love you :)
Mama-Baby Cuddles for Your Wednesday
I saw this gorgeous photo yesterday on our Uncle Rob's Facebook. It's of his wife, Pat, and son, Andy, and was taken by Pat's father in the mid-1970's. Isn't it just beautiful? I had to share.Do you have a favorite photo of a cuddly moment with your sweet baby? I would love to see it and possibly feature it on the blog! Send your photos (with a brief description) to me: leigh(at)leighpennebaker(dot)com. NOTE: Daddy-Baby cuddles welcome, too!

Quote of the Day
"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns,
or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses."

Rainbows and Resolutions
One thing I've resolved in the New Year is to get more organized. I've already improved greatly on this front in the last couple of years (living with two children in a New York City apartment kind of forces one to streamline things) but there is still a lot of room for improvement. I would love to use my resolution as justification for ordering these fab little stacking boxes in a Pantone rainbow...after all, there's nothing like pretty things to keep me motivated in the organization department!
This reminds me, what are your resolutions for 2010?
Lunch Yum
I recently hit on a delicious combo of salad ingredients: a bowl full of mixed greens, thinly sliced red onion, one juicy-sweet navel orange (peeled and cut into chunks), a hand full of chopped-up black and green olives, a drizzle of olive oil, and a splash of balsamic vinegar.
The result is tangy and sweet, with a nice little kick thanks to the onion. What are your go-to salad ingredients?
Photos by yours truly :)
