Lilies abound and I stumbled upon this perfect blossom during my Easter Day celebrations. The season of new beginnings, fresh outlooks, and promising tomorrows is here. The future may not be perfect but I know the best is yet to come.
Then, even if your beginnings were modest, your final days will be full of prosperity. Job 8:7
Loaded with veggies – cabbage, leeks, carrots, and portobello mushrooms. A great winter meal.
My version of the peasant Italian dish, pane cotto (cooked bread). I added sweet red peppers and got the Italian flag. 😉 With gluten-free bread, this turned out light but just as yummy and filling as the traditional way made with crusty bread. Yes, I’ve had to give up gluten, but I refuse to give up my Italian comfort food!
Settling into spring but remnants of winter linger in the backyard.
Jasper made it up and over the mound of snow and he’s been making his tracks. Those ears! 🙂
A friendly reminder!
Not just an ordinary cream of mushroom soup.
Mushrooms – yes, cauliflower – check. A handful of quinoa adds a good punch of protein and turns this vegetarian soup into a hearty winter meal. Seasoned with nutmeg, dried thyme and rosemary, and plenty of fresh parsley. YUM!
Jasper says it’s time for a break!
Feta cheese, cottage cheese, and a handful of chopped fresh parsley give this quiche a unique flavor – and color!
Jasper is missing his summer strolls.
