Roasted Tomato and Basil Soup Recipe
Tomatoes seem to be an easy thing to grow. I’m getting tons from my CSA and even a few from my father-in-law’s garden. His actually tasted better. I think next year I’ll give it a try and grow some. I love the orange ones and I only received a few in my CSA. But for […]
Chorizo With Garden Harvest

I want to thank Rachel from Living Without Wheat, for nominating me for the Attitude of Gratitude award. I am extremely touched by your kind words. Thank you. And, yes, I’m often found smiling at my computer. Especially when I’m checking out my favorite blogs like yours, and listening to Adam Lambert on my ipod. […]
