The start of summer

Well I have been pulled away once more. The official move is over and I now have two college boys moved back home. Brandon 22 and Justin 20. My daughter Aerial already moved downstairs into Justin’s old room so now he is upstairs in my old office I am now in my bedroom and I am cramped.

Cooking and gardening are my favorite things to do and with the boys gone I have had fun cooking for just my husband and daughter. Quite frankly it is just us because Aerial lives on salads and chicken nuggets. So I am back to watching for deals on Pace Hot Salsa. Why do they not sell it in a larger container so I can save some money?

Put back in the oven and cook for about 10 minutes or until it is heated through.

Tonight we are just going to make the corn on the cob on the stove by boiling 4 pieces of corn for 7-9 minutes.

The Caesar Salad is prepared with a traditional Caesar Salad Bottled Mixture for ease or if you prefer from a package.

My garden is not yet in full bloom so this is all from the store.

This dish is really good and you can incorporate this to fit your low fat cooking program. My husband is once again off his diet so I am really all over the board. The boys will not be around for dinner so this is really for my husband and I.

Well the sun has finally popped out so I am heading out into the garden.
Until later then..
