Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons

Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons Today is a gift. I normally don’t get days like this where I have the whole day to myself. In fact, I’m still in my pajamas! I’ve been spending the day tapping into my creative spirit and that spirit works best in pajamas. It’s a day to celebrate summer […]
