Orzo with Kale

So I got some kale for free from the King's Pantry (one of the perks of living at the Regent Village--free food for the residents twice a week!). I'd never made kale before, so I hit up All Recipes to find a yummy way to use it up....and found this great Orzo with Kale recipe! It has some fun unusual flavors like tumeric and nutmeg (which gives it a nice fallish flair), and Ellis loved it! Enjoy!

Carrot Mint Soup

Brad and Sarah made this amazing soup for us in London, and it has become one of our new staple meals coming into fall! Ellis is normally not a big soup fan, but he and I both can't get enough of this!

Carrot Mint Soup

Onion (between 1 and 2)
Carrots (4-5 of the big ones-as opposed to the baby ones)
Chicken stock (4 Cups)
Fresh Mint
Salt and pepper

This is a pretty general recipe with the amounts, but basically melt some butter in a pot, toss in some chopped onion and carrots, and let them cook until tender. Then add the chicken stock, mint, salt, and pepper, and let simmer. Finally puree the soup and enjoy! :)

Bee Baby

So I'm wanting to dress Brody up as a bee for Halloween since his initials are BEE. I'd love to make him a homemade costume (even if it's glaringly amateur, which it will be :) ), partly because this particular bee is $23 on amazon (for something he'd wear ONCE), and partly because I always said I'd never get my kids generic Wal-Mart costumes.

Only problem is I have no idea where to start or where to find inspiration. Has anyone seen any cute ideas for DIY kids' costumes on the web?

Such an awesome blog--she says everything I've ever felt. Ellis and I were crying we were laughing so hard!
