Family, love, exhaustion and roast pumpkin soup

This week has been such a full week, a week of many good things and also new things but a good week. It is the week I created two new recipes for my cook book I am writting. It is also the week I started my volunteer work which I love, there is something about doing something for someone and not expecting anything in return that is so nice      (warm fuzzy feeling inside). It is the week where a friendship was rekindled and who knows may be strengthened again in time. It is also the week I started this blog to diarize my journey in life and also to share my passion for cooking and some recipes along the way.

I think the fact that this week had so many firsts and also things that were big emotionally that last night exhaustion set in and by nine o'clock I was bushed. It was lovely to spend time with my husband and my daughter who came to have dinner and stay over and see us and I think by the look of us all after dinner the lounge and a DVD looked pretty good at that point.

Spending time with my family is so precious to me and I am grateful for all that I have and never take it for granted. I was able to cook us all a beautiful dinner ( stuffed mushrooms ) and also made the most amazing roast pumkin soup which we enjoyed a bit of today. I feel very blessed at the moment being able to let loose on my creativity with my cooking and having a loving and supportive family spurring me on is the icing on the cake ( gluten free of course hahaha).
