Mother earth and waiting.....

March is teasing us with this 74 degree weather. 

The bulbs in the yard our bursting through mother earth. 

With yellow's and purples. 

I have been taking advantage of the longer day's

now that day light savings time has sprung upon us.

I've been getting my hands dirty and pulling weeds. 

But first, I went around and picked a bunch of these

lovelies and made a bouquet. 

I love Daffodils.

It brings back memories of my

mom's yard. They were the first blossoms of

Spring.

  Just a random note. I was in the grocery store today and while waiting in

line I spied a People's Magazine 

with this fine couple on the cover. 

I'm a fan of the "Bachelor", and I'm not ashamed to say it. 

Any whoo, I thought the caption on the

cover was rather refreshing as you can see:

Who would have thought 30 years ago this

would make National News. But it did... hmmmm..

 Good for them!

What will mother nature bring to us this

coming weekend? Nice weather I hope.

Organic

I'm always inspired by my fellow bloggers and

this day was no different. Spring hasn't arrived yet, but

it is coming.......... So If you can't afford peonies or tulips, the

next best thing for centerpieces are ..........

Produce department herbs, cuttings

and.....

empty canning jars that you harvest from

your pantry shelves.. 

My kitchen and dining room get the most sunlight so I take 

advantage of it all the time.  I am a visual person, are you?

When I see something that captures my eye, 

I wonder to myself, I can do that, or I want to try making that.

Then I either google the recipe or picture and see how I can

make it with what I have. My family are my

guinea pigs, they know this. 

I'm always trying new recipes on them.  

They don't seem to mind. Then they critique whatever it is that I have made.  I don't care that they do because
I want to get it right. If it is a "winner", then I file it in my head
and know I can make it for the"public" i.,e. friends, neighbors etc.
You may have had it. I hope you liked it......

Going out of town this weekend. Hope to capture
some great  pics.

p.s. random note: I like Rachel Zoe's fashion. On the whole her clothing line is pretty
modest, I like her taste in style. 

Super food Kale

So Plans can change lickety split!.

I was set to work in the yard on Saturday, when my

Brother-in-law called and said he was coming over. And he did.

I fixed the guest room, changed the sheets and spruced the room,

towels, etc. Hubby was going to play host.

Since my B-I-L (brother-in-law) knows that our goal

this year is to eat healthier he brought over the newspaper

with some really scrumptious recipes using Kale.

The process is a little time consuming, lots of steps, but I had time. Peeling and dicing up the

butternut squash. What's amazing the squash took only 15 minutes to be fork done at 450 degrees.

This recipe in particular caught my eye because Cece has been asking for Lentils and

this recipe called for it.

 

You can eat it as a whole meal, I added roasted chicken on the side

just because.

Okay, It didn't photograph well, or maybe it did. But it was really good

So in case you couldn't read the terrible copy of the newspaper,it

calls for Kale, butter nut squash, lentils, carrots, celery, red pepper flakes, onions, garlic

olive oil, salt and pepper. I think that's it. I would add more Kale next time.

A great Vegetarian meal, but you get all the protein you need  in one dish.

I'll add the recipe for better reading later.
