Salad

Who doesn't like salad? Ok, a lot of people. I was looking through some blogs and came across a wonderful idea. (sorry, I can't remember where I saw this so I can't give credit where it is due. Bad blogger, very bad blogger.)

The idea is to make up a weeks worth of salads at the beginning of the week and have your ready made meals all week. The twist is that they are assembled in mason jars.

First you put your dressing in the bottom of jar. (I find it's hard to judge how much to put in. I put way too much in these jars. I plan to play around with it to get it right, or just keep the dressing on the side.). Then you place any of your veggies that will stand up to the dressing (carrots, pea pods etc.) then just keep layering you veggies, leaving the lettuce for the top.

This is a very healthy meal and is pretty too. Enjoy!

Weekend with Will

Last weekend I spent some wonderful time with Will last weekend and I'm hoping for another great weekend this week. Can we top last weekend though? We'll see.

Last week we made black bean brownies, homemade chex mix, an our own art. Plus a visit to the grandparents. (even Papa liked the brownies;) )

Spring

Spring is springing early here in Maine. Colder weather is supposed to return in the next few days but until then, I'm enjoying all the new life I'm seeing around me.

Spring has sprung

It's definitely the beginning of spring. I saw a few buds on trees and bushes. I even was able to go outside and play golf with my child. Not real golf. I actually hate golf. However my son has 2 toy golf sets and we hit the balls all over the back yard. It was fun and impossible.
