It doesn’t take a holiday

I love taking my hubby to Costco with me.  He was such a sweetheart and bought me some new pots and pans.  He isn’t the best at traditional holidays, his philosophy is that he doesn’t need a national holiday to show me how much he loves me.  I agree with him 100% on a day like today.

I have been using the same pots and pans that we got 12years ago at our wedding.  They were great, but few in number and seeing some wear.  It was time to pass them on to the DI.

I love them, and highly recommend them to anyone in the market.

So, I have been busy trying them out.  I steamed fresh green beans from our garden, made some wonderful teriyaki chicken in the sauté pan, and even made some caramel popcorn balls for our FHE treat. 

Thanks again sweetheart.  I am sure they will last another 12 years and more.

Garden goodies


With summer in full swing, our garden is starting to give us some good things.

I picked my first zucchini, which I smothered in butter and parmesan. I also got 3 bright red tomatoes. So of course I had to have BLT's. Both bring back some great summer time memories of growing up. My Mom always used all the wonderful things from our garden.

Today I picked another zucchini and decided to make bread. The prerequisite? Chocolate Chips.
