Now this one ...

Found this image and recipe online this morning and 

have absolutely no idea where (closed window like an idiot).

Basically you toss toss, beans, and potatoes together with a little butter and salt and pepper and call it dinner.

Yum.

 

 

In other news,

you know that brilliant friend of mine who seems to have all the answers? Hi Michelle ... 

She emailed me a great idea about recycling containers.

She made a recycling stencil and used yellow paint to denoted her large trash can as recyclables only. Isn't that brilliant?

Working on that this afternoon.

Second, we're making homemade peach jam Sunday (Colorado Peaches are starting to arrive!) before I leave for Montana on Monday. I'll post the recipe and pictures when we're done.
