I tried out a local restaurant with my Grammy for lunch. We ate at The Breadbasket in Newton, KS. It was like a Mom and Pop's Panera Bread. Delicious! We slipped in just before the busy lunch crowd and enjoyed a nice conversation amidst our salad bar munchies. Thanks for the yummy lunch, Grammy!
I finally got to the fresh green beans, a donation from
Mom's garden. I've never cooked fresh green beans before, but I loved them. Yum! And I had plenty leftover to freeze for future meals. Yeah!Someday, when we own our own house, I want to make sure we have enough space in our back yard to have a garden to grow some of my favorites: green beans, strawberries, watermelon, corn, radishes.
My Grammy gave me a new recipe to try today (from kraftfoods.com). Of course, I got right on that assignment, and let me tell you, it is delicious!
