You are the Icing

Happy birthday to my sweet daughter!

A Compromise

Just Eat Cake

The next couple of weeks is about celebrating birthdays at our house.  All three of our kids (we planned well!) have birthdays within a couple of weeks of each other.  To celebrate, I've planned a few illustrations around the sweet and tasty cake.

Green Peppers!

One of my favorite vegetables...and the easiest to preserve for winter.  Just chop up and freeze.

Cabbages!

My husband grew a lot of these this year.  We always make coleslaw, but someday I will attempt sauerkraut.

Radishes!

The timing just isn't right.  I love making a salad that includes both radishes and cucumbers, but they are never ready in the garden at the same time.  My salad?  Couscous, radishes, cucumbers, lemon juice, olive oil, plus salt and pepper.  Simple and tasty.

Broccoli!

The broccoli in our garden has mesmerized the neighborhood this year...even my picky 13-year-old son began a new love affair {you can read more about that here}.
