It's Raining, It's Pouring...and I LOVE IT! :)



There's just something about a good rainy day that I find so relaxing.  It's almost as if you're being given permission to take a few steps back and relax a bit.  In fact, sometimes I actually feel disappointed when the rain stops and I see a hint of the weather clearing up and the sun coming out.  Drats!  LOL

There are just days when you're in the mood for a good, old-fashioned, rainy day.  It seems to give us permission to curl up on the couch with a nice blanket and read a good book, have some comfort food, watch a favorite tv show or even just enjoy watching the rain delicately fall to the ground forming dancing puddles.  In some ways, it gives us permission to go back to our childhoods...building blanket forts, watching cartoons.

If you need some great ideas on how to truly enjoy a rainy day, here are some wonderful articles I've found for you:

Healthy Cooking Tips from my Facebook Friend Nicke

Creamy Soup Made Healthy "One trick I learnt was to put vegetables through the juicer and use the juice to make soup with, rather than water. The soup has a creamy texture without the use of cream. I got the tip from an Oprah show years ago. She had a chef who had a restaurant in New York. Either he or someone in his family had a VERY serious scare with cholesterol and he completly changed the way he cooked. On e example he gave was to remove corn from the cob and put the raw kernels through the juicer and then cook in that juice. And you get a really creamy corn soup without cream. Another thing I do, and this is my own tip ... is when you make a salad and use vegetables like tomato and cucumber. Slice them and remove the soggy centres and put them in a container in the freezer.
