Nigella Lawson Minty Pea and Broccoli Soup

One of the assignments I wrote for my fall wellness program was to go to sleep early – whatever that means to you – and I’m intent on sticking with it! So I have four minutes to post a few things that I’m thankful for tonight.

  1. The new Nigella Lawson new cookbook – Simply Nigella. I made a lovely pea and broccoli soup tonight straight out of the cookbook. It had just a handful of ingredients – water, mint, garlic, peas, and broccoli, and tasted bright and virtuous.
  2. Extended cuddle time with the pup. He’s such a joy to have around.
  3. I’ve started using my Lowel Ego photography light as a makeshift light therapy box. Even just having it on through dinner made such a difference! I don’t want to burn out the bulbs, but I’ll definitely be using it more often to pep myself up on grey days.
  4. Dark chocolate covered orange peels from Istanbul. I only have a handful of these perfect treats left, and I’ve been rationing them wisely.
  5. Fun reading. I’ve really been enjoying the new Salander novel.
