ON THE MENU~ WEEK OF MARCH 5,2012


HELLO DEAR READERS!!!! I'm back... and oh-so-ready to be a part of the blogging world again! How I have missed all of you ! I never thought this day would ever come... I thought my blogging days were over. NEVER SAY NEVER!
But with lots of prayer and seeking God's will, I feel it is right for me to come back to StoneGable at this time. God and I have been working on my purpose and priorities. I'll tell you more in a later post.

I don't have words to adequately thank all of your for the hundreds and hundreds of kind comments, e-mails, phone calls and prayers. I am so overwhelmed by your care. I only hope I can bring to you some of the love and joy that you have shown for me.
THANK YOU! You are the BEST!!!!!


As you can see there are big changes here at StoneGable. A whole new look! Thanks to Julie at Blogger Boutique for giving StoneGable a much needed makeover. More about her later this week.  Julie, you really listened to my vision and created a design that reflects my tastes and style. BIG HUG!

 Look around the new site... it was created with you in mind. I am still working on the layout so please be patient. I hope you like it!

The ON THE MENU format is new too. I streamlined the menu and put all the recipes in one place for easier access. 

ON THE MENU MONDAY WILL RETURN NEXT WEEK... SEE DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST.

Now, here's what's ON THE MENU...


MONDAY
Herb Crusted Pork Loin
Muffin Tin Onion Gruyere Stacked Potatoes
Roasted Asparagus with Lemon


    TUESDAY
    StoneGable Chicken Salad on Greens 
    Fresh Veggies Sticks


    WEDNESDAY
    Smoked Brisket Killer Fajitas
    Black Bean and Corn Salsa



    THURSDAY
    Triple Citrus Glazed Grilled Salmon
    Sauteed Spinach With Garlic Oil
    Fried Rice
    Oh, Triple Citurs Glazed Grilled Salmon is one of those magical sounding recipes! The ingredients make me swoon. Here at StoneGable, beautiful marinades and glazes equal foodie love! This glaze is amazing! Thanks to the adorable Neely's from the Food Network for this wonderful recipe! Head on over there... they even have a VIDEO to show us how they do it (WHAT CUTIES!).


    FRIDAY~ SLOW COOKER DAY
    Slow Cooker Sausage Onions And Peppers
    Crusty Rolls
    Homemade Coleslaw


    SATURDAY~ Home Movie Night
    Popcorn
                                                                
    Yes, you read right... I am having popcorn for dinner. This is my guilty pleasure. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE POPCORN. Not the microwaved kind, or the kind sold in bags... but good homemade popcorn. Homemade popcorn is so delicious and easy. Once you make it you will be hooked too! I could eat the whole pot~ Look for a Foodie tutorial coming soon ( just an excuse to make more... for me)!
                
    SUNDAY
    Italian Wedding Soup
    Italian Bread
    My children loving called this "pond scum soup"! Really...?  I think it is a beautiful and scrumptious soup! Anyway, who would ever serve pond scum at a wedding... give this gorgeous soup a try!

    ON THE MENU MONDAY will return next week. Linky goes up Sunday, March 11th at 8:00 PM.

      As I said before, you were SO missed. I went to lunch with one of my girlfriends today and she said how much she wished you would come back to blogland. I told her you would be here today. Isn't this lovely? And, now for the lesson of the day: The Lord gives us all special talents to use and to share...sometimes it takes awhile for us to understand how this all works out...your special talent, Yvonne, is the huge beautiful heart you have for all creatures + an very unusual, creative gift to share with all of us...the joy of your home...which makes all of us want to be just like you. Inspirational? I would say YES X10. You are back, so you must already know all of this. I love you.

      I can only imagine the enormous work you do to make your blog so successful. I'd be ready to quit! I always come here and feel inspired to do better in my life.

      For me, I am truly happy you have decided to return. As many people have said your blog is a ministry too. Think of all the folks you inspire to have beautiful homes, lovely and interesting meals for their families as well as friends. I think one of your best posts was the charming and clever way you packaged and presented a delivered meal to a friend in need.

      There is nothing more valuable than to make our families and friends feel important. A happy home life is a gift forever.

      So thanks Yvonne for your talents and willingness to teach us!

      Welcome back, Yvonne! I feel like a long lost friend has returned! It was wonderful to see you on Facebook and Pinterest, but so much more wonderful so have you back here. The menu sounds yummy, as always. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that likes to have popcorn for supper!

      I had just found your blog when you posted that you wouldn't be doing it anymore.. One of the few blogs that I was sad to see go..I am glad that I kept it on my blogger roll.

      I came across one of your yummy recipes the other day and thought to myself, "Gosh, I really miss StoneGable." I never gave up that you might find a way back to your blog, and I'm so glad you did. Welcome back, Yvonne!

      I came to your site late in your blogging career, part 1, so I was saddened (but understood) to hear you were retiring. I made the potato stacks over the holidays for my family and they were a hit. I am so happy you are back.

      Yvonne - I am SO happy you're back !! I happened upon your blog shortly before you left in December and I kept going onto the blog, reading through all the years and recipes, etc. Tried a lot of recipes, they were all "keepers"!! I shall look forward to reading and enjoying it again everyday. God bless you, Hugs, Dorinda

      I just discovered today that you were back! I truly was sad (no, actually, I was depressed...you inspired me with every entry!)when you posted that you were quitting. The beauty and eloquence of your blog has been such an inspiration, and ministers to my heart and creativity, and I have told quite a few friends and family members about you, your son's ministry (I watched his first sermon like he was my own son!), and about all the gifts God has blessed you with, which you freely share. I don't have a blog of my own, but maybe someday... Thank you for the bright spot in my day today to see that my online friend is back and so happy! May God continue to Bless You and Your Family! Fondly, Jan of Richardson, TX
