Recipe Review...

Next week, I will start re-posting recipes I have shared with you over the years. We will shake the dust off and bring them back to the forefront.

I have a lot of good workable recipes saved, so it is time for us to revisit and talk about them once again. Maybe adding something new, or a little tweak here and there, or just letting it stand alone...

You never know until you try...

Enjoy your day!!!

Weekend Report

I have to get caught up here...

Happy B-day to Leah, my niece (who turned 1 yr. old Monday)
And Happy B-day to Dave, (Wednesday) who is Leah's dad.
Happy B-day to both of you.

BD's girls have traveled North to Evansville, Ind. for a bowling tournament, so good luck to my girls.

We got some much needed rain yesterday, so of course the grass has come back to life. I will be cutting the yard tomorrow.


Good luck girls...
Win me some money and drink one for me.

Enjoy your day!!!

Recipe of the day...

My good friend Henry from Louisiana sent this recipe to me, so I will share it with you.

Baby Spinach and Red Cabbage Salad with Bacon Vinaigrette

1 clove garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse-grind mustard
1/2 teaspoon honey
4 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
7 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
4 slices Apple wood smoked bacon, chopped
1 lb red cabbage, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
4 to 6 oz baby spinach, stems discarded

Mash the garlic and salt to a paste in a bowl.
Whisk in the mustard, honey and vinegar.
Add the olive oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified.

Toast the pine nuts in a heavy large skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Add the bacon to the pine nuts. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the bacon is brown and crisp.

Add the cabbage, tossing to combine. Cook, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cabbage is wilted and tender.

Reduce the heat to low. Add the spinach. Cook until the spinach begins to wilt, stirring gently.

Remove from the heat. Add the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!!!

And today was...

If I ever win the lottery...

My top 10 list when I win:

Quit work and show the boss the business end of my longest finger.

Open my own Barbecue place.

Give to the Organizations that help kid's dreams come true.

Buy Budweiser and those big doggies that pull that big wagon around. [that way my friends will have beer for life...get along big doggies]

Take bowling lessons...(hey, I'm not a pro you know just because I have a 204 average)

Buy the Grand Hotel...so I could sleep in a different room every night.

Pay someone to teach me how to work this stupid computer.

Take Julie on a romantic vacation to the island I just bought.

I can afford to water the lawn.

Grill more chicken...
