    Herb Salmon with Lemoned Green Beans

    It’s Friday!! I am pretty excited for the weekend to be here. This week has been busy, to say the least, and next week isn’t going to be much better. Needless to say I am totally looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Maybe I will even take the bike out for a ride since it is supposed to be so nice. Winning! Whenever it is a nice out I have a really hard time not firing up the grill every day of the weekend. You can make so many different things and it always seems to taste good. The taste of food coming off the grill just reminds me of…

I feel like there is just so much going on this month…so many birthday’s (including my own), traveling for work, young professional events, celebrations. GAH!

    Veggie Junkie

    ::sigh:: I just love vegetables. I really do! I get such a hard time from most people about loving vegetables so much, but I swear, cross my heart and hope to die, that I really, TRULY love vegetables! 🙂 My dad tells me that I was a rabbit in another life because I eat so many vegetables… maybe that is why I feel so comfortable around my bunny, hehe I wasn’t always a vegetable fan…well, OK…maybe I was just a little bit, BUT I didn’t like a wide variety of vegetables like I do now. Here is a story for you… When I was little, I ate carrots like they…
