We have so much going on at this time.  The blog seems to be the first thing to get put off followed by a number of other things.  We are awaiting the birth of our first granddaughter. I have been busy getting their room ready & running to appoints 2-3 times a week which are 140 miles from where we live. Its been a long journey with premature labor for a few months. I thought I’d at least share a recipe I recently made that is perfect for the doldrums of winter. I know it sounds funny but if you like mango & avocado you must give it a try! Mango Avocado Salad

A Fresh Coat

I participated in Apartment Therapy’s cure during the month of January. One of the projects I worked on was the cupboards above our washer & dryer. It is a narrow, dark area and one of the first things you encounter as you enter our house. I painted the cupboards white inside and out, took the cupboard doors off and gave the walls a fresh coat while I was at it. What a difference!  I used Benjamin Moore ‘Super White’.  I rolled it on with a foam roller and used Floetrol which helps prevent brush and roller marks. A Fresh Coat

I love flavorful food and this time of year its hard to find good  fresh veggies.  This salad is so flavorful and even the leftovers are good!  It requires a bit of chopping but is so worth it. I had a very hard time finding Greek salad dressing in Nebraska this summer when I was craving this salad, but found a great recipe for making the dressing at home.
