Honestly….

….I’ve been a bit boring lately and not so great at taking pictures of the

“going ons” around here.

I’ve tried a few recipes from the web that were successful and one

ehhh,  not so great…..

Ginger and Cilantro Baked Tilapia

….it was okay, but won’t make it again.

 

Overnight Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal

YUMMY! Will definitely be making again and again!

 

Spice Roasted Pineapple Ice Cream

Labor intensive, but delish! Kenny says it reminds him of

carrot cake.

 

Mango Chicken Salad

This just tastes fresh! You could leave out the chicken and have it

as a side dish if you wanted….this is what I’ve taken for my lunch

all week.

 

Today it’s a little colder…..52 degrees, which feels really cold after a few

days in the 80’s. However, not too cold to take a quick stroll through

the garden and see what’s blooming…..

The tree peonies are stealing the show at the moment.

Nothing looks better than a few droplets of water

on the petals!

Have a great day….we’re almost to the weekend!

  4. You are so lucky to have beautiful flowers. here on the coast of Maine we are seeing daffodils and not much else. A bit of forsythia here and there. Our spring takes forever to get here. Good luck with that desk!
