Cold Day, Hot Dinner

December 21, 2009 by Julie 7 Comments

Today marks the coldest day of December in Florida. Brrr!

I’m writing this post in my warm pajamas, socks and slippers, with a hot-bodied dog on my lap. Comfy, cozy!

After work I headed to the mall for some last minute Christmas shopping. How is it possible that I am still not done?

Are you done with your holiday shopping?

As I was running out to my car with several shopping bags in hand, I shivered in the cold breeze. I knew a hot dinner was in store.

Warm-the-Belly Dinner

Warm-the-Belly Dinner

Keeping my promise not to go to the grocery store this week, I assembled a dinner using food we had on hand.

I wanted everything to be hot to warm up my belly, so tonight’s dinner featured a grilled cheese sandwich (on a honey wheat Arnold sandwich thin), Campbell’s Select Harvest caramelized French onion soup and steamed broccoli and carrots.

I adore simple dinners. 

I see a nice cup of hot chocolate in my future…

    that dinner does look simple but delicious- grilled cheese is amazzing. & i would say i feel bad a/b the cold, except after dealing w/ some wisconsin weather i have to say that your cold is probably equivalent to a sauna for me right now!! hahah
