I'm all about embracing the changes in life! I'm a fairly newbie vegetarian...woke up one morning and decided no more meat and that was that. I'm leaning into vegan and am sure it will happen the same way. I'm a fairly new to being an empty nester. Hubby is a football coach, so during the season it's just me and dog in the nest. I'm a fairly new grandma...our adorable grandson will be 1 in October-09. Anything that uses produce from my garden. I've been a pepper-growing goddess this summer and have no idea how that happened! It was an unseasonably cool, rainy summer which shouldn't be great for producing peppers, but we eat them everyday: red, yellow, orange and green! A nod to our Scandinavian roots...making lefse and coffee cakes at Christmas. Grilled Italian bruschettas topped with finely diced tomatoes, red onion, basil tossed with evoo and balsamic. mmmmmmmmmmmm. We eat this several nights a week during the summer. Chilled Carrot Soup...1997. My family still makes fun of me for it. Rightfully so.
