I actually spend this week baking and cooking and ENJOYED it for a change. I baked some delicious egg, milk and nut free blueberry (and chocolate chip for myson) muffins and banana bread. My hubby, who is trying to lose weight asked me if I was trying to kill him, the house smelled SOOO GOOD!!! I took some of the leftover thawed blueberries in their juice added sugar and let it sit to make a syrup. A warm muffin, milk free butter, and a drizzle of the blueberries in syrup with fresh coffee.... YUMMO!
My mama has been over some helping me in the garden. I have no idea what I am doing and she comes over to transplant and do things I would not think of. (and leaves covered in sweat and leaves me covered in guilt) We have tomatoes, grape tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, peppers, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, horseradish, okra, rhubarb, spinach, lettuce, MINT THAT HAS TAKEN OVER THE GARDEN AND YARD OVER THE YEARS!!! :D It looks good, I am excited about this year. I love the smell of the tomato plants and dirt :D. Yes, mama, you are getting me hooked.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Heather on your new challenge blog - I am following that one too! Hopefully in between work and my own challenge blog, I can join in. It looks like so much fun! This is the cutest card for Cinco de Mayo! I love those festive colors! The blueberry muffin looked positively yummy! Your daughter is sweet and elegant just like her mom - what fun it would be to watch her dance and what a great Mother's Day gift that will be. :-)
