Instead of posting a new recipe today, I thought I'd share some links to my favorite recent posts from other bloggers.

I love citrus flavors. Any dessert with lemon, lime, orange or grapefruit makes me happy. Also, I want to try piping whipped cream like this - adorable!

This one will probably be on hold until we get closer to spring, because I really want to try it with grilled eggplant and right now we have so much snow I don't think I can walk down the porch steps to the grill. I love goat cheese with vegetables, and I'm trying to decide what soup to pair this with.

I'm also in need of some arugula. Partly because I watched Giada make smoked salmon BLTs the other day, and partly because these Lasagna Stacks are adorable!

I will soon share my Mulligatawny Soup recipe with you. It might be my favorite soup of all time. And it is only improved by dunking fresh naan in it.

I have never had an Eat Live Run recipe I didn't like, and I clearly need some goat cheese in my life now.

Don't be surprised if you see some of these coming up soon!

Lemon Garlic Baked Salmon

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and ate all the cookies. I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, but all the treats I've been eating for the past month have been making me feel a little sluggish. When I saw a one day "cleanse" I thought I'd give it a try. Loosely, it called for drinking hot lemon water first thing in the morning, a Glowing Green Smoothie for breakfast, Ginger Lemon Cayenne Detox tea and vegetables for lunch and dinner. My day went like this: First thing after my run: Hot Lemon water - This is a nice way to warm up. I do this all the time. Breakfast: Glowing Green Smoothie - I liked it a lot. Very refreshing and hydrating. Wished I hadn't baked donuts the night before as they were staring me down on the kitchen counter. Lunch: Spicy Mulligatawny Soup - I'm pretty sure that's not what they meant by "salad," but I went with it. Snack: Ginger Lemon Cayenne Detox tea - Zingy and invigorat

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

A few weeks ago we went into Boston for the day. After chasing little people up, down, and around the Children's Museum, watching Colin climb up three stories on a jungle gym and James' excitement at a room filled with golf balls, we went to Flour Bakery for lunch. I had the Roasted Sweet Potato sandwich, and it was amazing. I just checked the menu , and it looks like they don't offer it right now, but lucky for you I made a salad that's just as good. The original sandwich was roasted sweet potato, apple, walnut pesto, blue cheese and kale on wheat bread. I took some liberties, changed up some ingredients, and made it into a salad.

My big sister and the egg sandwich that might cure her cancer

I usually like to keep things light hearted here At Home With Ann. Simple recipes, awkward jokes, toddler antics and kitchen fiascos. But we all experience times in life when we are thrown for a loop and face something that stops us in our tracks. I, like a classic control freak, tend to keep things to myself. Everything is under control, see? My house is clean, dinner is cooked, the dishes are done, I'm on schedule, I blow dried my hair, I don't need help. See? See? But this time it's not about me, it's not something I can control, and wishing it away won't actually make it go away. Me, my Mom and Sarah last Summer Three years ago my sister, Sarah, was diagnosed with a form of leukemia called AML (acute myeloid leukemia). My reaction was typical. This happens to other people. Not my 33 year old sister who lives by the ocean, gets tons of fresh air and exercise, and eats healthier than anyone who has ever entered Whole Foods. She can't be sic
