PAELLA

OLE! Spicey, very flavorful Spanish dish! Learned to love it living in Tampa where Cuban food rules. Norm and I actually found this recipe in Southern Living and we made it while visiting Matt and Kami in Castle Rock, CO. It was so pretty I snapped this pic and stored it away in the digital abyss! Mussels, shrimp, chicken, chorizo and peas on a bed of yellow rice! Very yummy!

Friday Supper


Shrimp skewer seasoned with chili lime rub served on a bed of sun dried tomato/spinach couscous. Field greens, red onion and heirloom cherry tomatoes tossed with balsamic vinaigrette. Very easy and fast, and to top it off healthy! We won't count the brownies we had later!

Front Porch Herb Garden


A while ago I started growing my own herbs. I love how they look in the pots and the freshness they add to our favorite foods. I am currently growing rosemary, chives, oregano, mint, thyme and a basil plant that is out of control. I have used the basil to make pesto several times this summer and I have it frozen in cubes. It is wonderful in pastas, olive oil bread dip and mixed with mayo on tomato sandwiches. YUM! Since we live in SC I am wondering how to keep them over the winter.
