Joes Garden

 

Above you see the lack of vines, a few weeks ago this was covered w/ snap peas, but Kayla accidentally killed the vines as she stole peas off of them.... The rest is thriving. 

 

Our 1st batch of lettuce was so good, Joe started a new crop. Here are the babies already.

QUICK & CREAMY Mushroom Sauce (for Pasta)

I buy those frozen (meat, veggie or cheese) Ravioli & Tortellini all of the time because they keep well and are ready when you need a quick meal to go with our salad. I am always playing with sauces to keep the feeling of variety alive, while not making anything too time consuming... Here is my latest and I was VERY pleased with the results. Tonight I served this with chicken ravioli and it was a hit.
