I'm rather happy it's a whole new year today. Last year was fine I guess but nothing super fab by any means. I have big hopes and plans that 2009 will bring some positive changes my way. Only time will tell I suppose....
Seeing as how 8 inches of snow landed on my doorstep yesterday morning, I was pretty thrilled that I had big plans to do a whole lot of nothing on New Year's Eve. I did brave the only mildly plowed roads to go to the grocery store so that I could make this soup. I actually doubled the liquid amounts and used fat free half and half instead of cream. It made a TON (hello, doubling the liquid!) and was super-de-duper delish! I also made a fabulous sandwich using multi grain artisan bread, cream cheese, mustard, brie, Parmesan cheese, blueberry preserves, and pear slices. I sprayed a pan with EVOO spray, placed the sandwiches on top and then spritzed the top with EVOO spray. Stuck that in the oven while I was trying not to spill soup all over my kitchen while pureeing it in the blender. The low fat soup is more than made up for with the three cheese and totally not low fat sandwich. OMG it was hands down the best stay cozy inside while it's in the teens outside dinner. With two more storms heading my way, I'm sure I will be grateful for making an enormous batch of that yummy soup!
Cheers to a fabulous 2009 that is filled with smiles, laughter, celebrations, and early Spring and lots of pink and green goodness!!

That sandwich sounds just wonderful. I love making "gourmet grilled cheese" with fancy mustards and nice whole grain braid and as many different cheeses as I can fit between two slices.
