Well, well, well… Another year is upon us and all I want to do is eat a salad… Seriously, I’m not sure that I have ever consumed as much red meat as I had this past December! Holy cow. I need a break or at least a time out this week! Back to eating my
Cherry Pepper “Da Bomb” Vinaigrette
Today is one of those days. You know the one when you get up early and get so much stuff done that by noon you scratch your head and wonder what else you can do because you are on a roll. Yep, that’s me. I finished planting my vegetable garden, all my flower pots are
