A recap of projects...

 

A cousin of mine is preparing for a new little one...so to my hook I go! 

I picked up some really soft bamboo crochet thread 

to start a baby blanket out of the basic granny square pattern!

 

 We don't have red meat often, so this night was a real treat!

I made asparagus roll-ups with red potatoes sprinkled with garlic, fresh parm, & parsley.

Very yummy!

Details:

I dunked the fresh asparagus in boiling water for 4 minutes. Let it cool.

In a saute pan-browned fresh garlic, red onion, and some herbs de Provence.

I then laid out the flank steak/skirt steak and spread the garlic onion mixture on it, topped with a slice of smoked gouda from our local cheese market, and added the asparagus.  Gently rolled up and placed on my grilling pan and seared the sides.  

Tucked in the oven to finish off by baking with the potatoes.

Easy...yet looks like you spent forever in the kitchen creating a gourmet meal!

Spring is here!

The trees are starting to bloom!  Wow, are they pretty!  

Reminds me of being a kid and the HUGE cherry blossom tree that we had in our front yard.
I vividly remember my Mom laying on the grass and taking photos up into the prettiness.  

My hubby has quite the eye for photography and has been around the city with his camera
for quite a few years now.
Here is one of his from this weekend that I absolutely love!  

 You can view more of his photos at his website!

With Springtime is the arrival of the fresh local veggies!  

We are really loving the fresh asparagus and carrots grilled!  

I have been making us turkey balls (with grated carrots, garlic, fresh spinach, and parsley) 

Served with veggie pasta on top of a bed of fresh spinach.  

The only "bad thing" we had was a sprinkling of grated Parmesan!  

But oh my...it's cheese!
