YUMMMMMMM

Okay, maybe I think this is the best salad in the world because I think cherry tomatoes are like bite-size bits of wonderfulness. Or like healthy candy.

But, here's how I put this salad together.

I went out to the garden and picked about 3 to 4 cups of cherry tomatoes.


Then I rinsed them off (even though they are organically grown) I still soaked them for a few minutes.

Then I sliced them in half, added about 1 and 1/2 cups of Calamata Olives (pitted)
And one pint of mozzarela cheese, in small ball shapes.

I tossed them together and whipped up some balsamic vinegar, olive oil and kosher salt salad dressing like this:

Take one-fourth cup olive oil
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon of salt
(shake the liquid mixture up then pour over the salad)

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Happy Halloween - a little early

How 'bout a scarey picture...well, it is a little blurry.

Some say better late than never. I say, "You can never start celebrating too soon."

And what better way to celebrate than with chocolate...?

I say there isn't any better way to kick off the holiday season than with Frankenstein, eyeballs and maybe an owl or even a fish.

So, let's start celebrating today. Try some holiday truffles, then let me know what you think. I say, "We all scream for Halloween...truffles."

Earth-Friendly Friday: Recycle, Reduce and Reuse

All three of these 2X4s are the same, well...if you use a little elbow grease to uncover the beauty



It's true. Old wood is beautiful - when you strip away the years of dirt, grime and use.

Reusing is simple - if you simply think ahead or . . . behind.

It all comes from the past. Why not look to local scrap yards, recycling centers and the past to recycle, reduce, and reuse?

One way is to reuse old lumber. And old-growth wood is much higher quality than new lumber. So, you will be saving a tree, reducing the waste in our landfills, and saving a little money (or green) at the same time.

My husband sanded down some old wood to make some new garden chairs. I'll post the finished product when he's done and I can hardly wait...

Falling . . .

Click on the picture to see us falling...over the waterfalls, I'm the one in the red helmet. Yeah, that's me having to climb back in the boat after falling out
