Hot Bean Stew for the Grammy Awards!

We try to eat a few vegetarian meals a week at Casa W and I thought I would try out a three bean stew to spice up the Grammy Awards party tonight (party of 3).It’s very simple and fast. After a long day of Girl Scout activities there was not a lot of time to cook a big spread and, anyway, we we’re in the mood for a lighter meal that was low in calories but still filling (still trying to shed the holiday 10lbs! anyone else on the weight loss train?). This bean stew is packed with vitamin C, protein, and spinach for your greens, oh and a dash of chilies to make you sweat like a sinner in church! Now the Grammy Awards aren’t necessarily my thing. I love music but I feel like there is a lot of crap music these days (what’s your opinion?). I really enjoy the Oscars, Critics Choice, more film oriented awards ceremonies. Granted the fashion strutting down the red carpet (Hello Beyonce, Amazing!) both men and women has been an eyeful.

Mad for it: Le Labo fragrances for Spring

Transitioning into my spring scents and clothing is no easy task. I swear I was in the military in a past life. Boxes out, list made, unpack, pack and clean. For me the 1st sign of spring is the air changes, fragrant blooms and fresh cut grass waft past my nose. It was a no brainier for my spring scent change it was going to be Le Labo! I purchased this in NY last year especially for  the spring change.
