CELEBRATING HOME GROWN TOMATOES

 

This was my tomato harvest this morning!

I stuck with Cherry and Roma tomatoes this year, and have not been disappointed. Both have turned out beautiful, and have been very easy to grow. The other night, I made one of my favorite summer dishes, Ina's Summer Garden Pasta. I actually served it on pearl couscous instead of pasta and it was just as delicious. It is light and refreshing - not a heavy pasta dish at all. I HIGHLY recommend this recipe. . .

Now I need YOUR help! Share your favorite tomato recipe with me! I need to do some cooking or canning this weekend or my beauties will go to waste.

LOVED THE HATS!

I have to admit, I jumped out of bed at 6:15 yesterday morning and ran to the TV to watch the Royal Wedding. While I think Kate Middleton is stunningly beautiful, I have to admit that I was disappointed all around with her wedding look. Yes, she looked classy and beautiful - as always. BUT - I thought she played it way too safe, and the look turned out a bit boring.

What did NOT disappoint me, though, were all of her guests at the church decked out in fabulous party hats! These ladies glammed it up right for the big day!

Adventures In Gardening

 

I have a new hobby . . .

GARDENING!

  We have been enjoying lots of beautiful lettuce

and radishes from our back yard.

(I never actually ate radishes until this year)

I grew these babies from seeds, too!

I can't wait to find out how my tomatoes, peppers,

squash, and herbs do this summer!

So Excited. . .

. . .For spring break 2011 with my girl, Lauren!

One of the best traditions I have is my annual girls

weekend with Lauren.

This year we are heading to SAN ANTONIO!

Lookout, TEXAS!
