Tasty Tidbits

Home again, home again...though we got home mid-week last week, this was the first full week back to the normal routines. Last weekend, I traveled to western PA to visit Jen & go to my cousin's fiance's bridal shower. The time flew by & next thing I knew it was Monday again.

Jen made us some very yummy "spa water" with cucumber, lemon, & mint. It was super refreshing!

It's strawberry time at last! Our first picking (on Monday) yielded 3.5 quarts & we've been getting almost that much each day since! We're having no trouble keeping up with eating them. I've been waiting for this ever since last year.

Here's what we've been eating in the last week:

Breakfasts

• Pineapple yogurt with Pinepple Coconut Granola
• Puffed rice & puffed millet cereal with strawberries, bananas & almond milk
• Ashley's Strawberry Rhubarb Buttermilk Upside Down Cake - Ok, technically this is not a breakfast food...but we decided it should be! :-)

  

Lunches

• Sandwiches
• Leftovers
• Easy Three Bean Salad
• Hummus with rice crackers, carrots & celery
• Watermelon & apples
