Favorite French Quote

Since we went to Canada this past week,

I thought I'd share one of my favorite French phrases;

it is also a very pretty song:

Je vous souhaite tout le bonheur du monde.

(I wish you all the happiness in the world.)

Happy Chocolate Wishes

“Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.”
Guillaume Apollinaire (French poet, 1880-1918)

I have been cooking and baking up a storm this past week, breaking in new "clean" recipes for the family. I'm so happy that the kids have been liking the non-processed, non-HFCS meals and snacks. Most have been so good that it could be hard to lose weight.
One of my downfalls is chocolate. I began switching to dark chocolate treats a couple of years ago mainly because of all of the hype that it is better for you and of course has less sugar and fat than milk chocolate. Here's someone that is fighting the fat and is celebrating her recent weight loss with a give-away: http://happytexans.blogspot.com/2009/04/sweet-success-giveaway.html.
