Beet Salad

(one of my favorites lately)

Steam and peel beets. Slice and serve on

a bed of spring mix,

top with crumbled goat cheese,

roasted pepitas & balsamic vinaigrette.

I love this candy corn idea. I actually

have a wire holder just like this one.

I will definitely be using this idea.

What a great centerpiece for an outdoor dinner.

Yet another reason to buy candy corn!

I am the only one in this house who likes it

so... more for me!

Oh Great Pumpkin!

Logan has been sick the past few days.

Some kind of stomach bug - yuk!

He's be on the couch watching a lot of

cartoons. "Batman the Bold and the Brave"

is his current favorite. Today we watched,

"It's the Great Pumpkins Charlie Brown"

several time actually, but I don't

mind, it's one of my favorites.

Hope you feel better soon

my little buddy!

The table was set...

for Mom's birthday dinner.

My new favorite cheese from Trader Joe's.

Morbier - it's a French cheese, creamy

and nutty with a vein of blue

running through the middle. It's

like two delicious cheeses in one.

Served with toasted baguette & bread sticks.

On the menu:

Asian grilled salmon

(Barefoot Contessa Recipe - so easy)

Steamed white potatoes w/ garlic,

basil, salt & pepper

French green beans & tomatoes

in a vinaigrette

Steamed baby carrots with butter & dill

for dessert...

Chocolate lave cakes with vanilla ice cream

and fresh raspberries
