Went to the Farm

We took a trip to the  farm and Look what I got. Some of the tomatoes are purple ones

 We  went to  check  out the house and  get the tag off the truck and we stopped at Kelly's. A neighbor came by with a bushel of sweet potatoes and  we brought some home and Randy gave us some green beans and tomatoes too. Kelly is learning to can now and she gave me a jar of her garlic Dill pickles and they look so good !  When we got to the house I went to the garden and got some squash and green tomatoes and corn  and a few other things too. We got home and I heated up the pork roast and  cooked some veggie's and called it diner and it sure was good .

It's the Weekend

Wow look at these Freezable Can Coolers ...

I just couldn't walk past these at the Dollar Tree without getting one to try...

It is going to be a busy day. Sam is home and I'm going to try to sew some on my Jeans and seashell quilt. We are going to Salyersville to get the plate off the old doge truck Cameron wrecked to put on the new truck I sure hope it is still there or I get to order a new one.
Hope to get a photo or 2 up later today.

Cold quinoa salad and Roasted Cauliflower and Cherry Tomatoes

Last night I made a Cold quinoa salad  and it was great !! Sam even loved it and  tonight I'm going to make this one. I have lots of cherry tomatoes. I got the recipe
from the AARP magazine but have already thrown it away :( 

but It is just  onions, tomatoes,Bell peppers, some jalapenos, garlic, and then salt and paper with a little olive oil ( I used grape seed oil).

Roasted Cauliflower and Cherry Tomatoes

• 1 head cauliflower
• 5 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• Salt, to taste
• White pepper, to taste
• 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

1. Clean the cauliflower and cut into small florets.
2. Toss the cauliflower with 2 teaspoons olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, and roast at 375° F for 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Toss the tomatoes in 1 teaspoon olive oil and add to the cauliflower. Roast an additional 8 minutes.
4. Whisk together the Dijon mustard and the vinegar, then slowly incorporate the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil to make the vinaigrette.
5. In a bowl, gently toss together the cauliflower-tomatoes mixture, the parsley and the vinaigrette.

My new obsession !!

 

Space bags !!! I love them. I have all the winter clothes in them and I will not have to re wash them this fall because the smoke smell from Sam smoking  :) and  they  are great for my quilts too !!

I'm working on  my  closet. It needs reorganizing. lol
 I have decided to make Kylie a few dresses this yeear for school.
Hope she likes them .

 I love this new cake.

Take a box of Angel Food Cake mix (just the contents of the box, no need to follow the directions on the box), & combine it with a 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple in its own juice.
(No need to use a mixer, just stir it with a spoon) When you do this, something magical happens.
The mixture starts to froth & it turns into an amazingly airy, fluffy bowl of deliciousness right before your eyes.
Once it's all mixed up,grease and simply pour it into a 9 x 13 cake pan & bake 350 for 30 minutes

I was a long weekend but fun too.
 Sam and I went to Ryans for lunch Sunday and  then watched the race.
Then just  watched some movies.
