VEGGIE SANDWICH for lunch:

  • 2 small slices of the bread
  • 2 leaves of romaine
  • carrots
  • beet slices [marinated in balsamic vin]
  • red onions
  • not so ripe avocado
  • drizzle of caesar dressing
  • herbed cheese of the goat

Heated in the microwave for 23 seconds —VIOLA!!

It was GORGEOUS + WARM outside today —So I built a fire!!

The last fire I “built”was inside of my kitchen in college —Apparently you cannot store dish towels in the “drawer”under a GAS STOVE!!

The paper caught fire—

And surprisingly so did the wood!!

PENNY said —“Way to go MOM!!”

Tonight I decided to do all things manly [fire + grill] since I am the KING OF THE CASTLE this week.

GRILLED CAESAR SALAD!!

IMG_3554.JPG

  • Halve + coat with EVOO
  • Sprinkle with S+P

Grill on the TOP RACK on high for 2 to 3 minutes per side.

I grilled onions for the salad too!

  • Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese
  • Devour!!

I have honestly never in my life grilled —I’ve always let guys do it.

Well guess what BOYZ – My grilling skills are awesome [it is SO EASY] + the burger was BAD @$$!!

  • 1/4 pound organic patty [basic S+P]
  • herbed goat
  • balsamic beets
  • on Tuscan TJs bread

Welcome to the B.M.E. —B.EST M.EAL E.VAH!!

Fire Side Seating!!

I like to call this photo —AUTOMATIC HAND TOWEL

IMG_3566.JPG

No dinner is complete without dessert in my book —so:

  • tiny tiny tiny amount of vanilla ice cream
  • walnuts
  • coconut sprinkles
  • one dried cherry

PERFECT EVENING!!

BEST VALUE WINES EVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVER—

VIN-KORU [white]

  • dry
  • nice
  • crisp
  • sauv blanc ish —not as fruity
  • $4.99 @ TJs

AQUILA D’ORO TOSCANA [red]

  • dry
  • light
  • earthy
  • $3.99 @ TJs

Neither of these are fancy pants wines —but they are the BEST EVERYDAY VALUE DRINKING WINES I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!!!

HOUSE STAPLES!!

                    It was very fitting for you to grill on International Women’s Day. We don’t need no boys to grill! Love grilled romaine.

                    You’re ice cream is so cute! I love the little bowl.

                      Hope you are well darling.

                        I love Anthro aprons!

                        The next time I stop into TJ’s I’m going to grab those wines. I’ve been looking for some good cheap drinking wines for a while.

                          love TJ’s wines. Thanks for the information I must go try them now.

                          That bread is also awesome I buy it on occasion. Sandwiches with it are out of this world!

                                          That sandwich looks YUM –so bright and beautiful! And the grilled veggies and dessert looks delish,too.
