ON THE MENU MONDAY~ WEEK OF APRIL 8, 2013


WELCOME TO...
ON THE MENU MONDAY!

 I love this time of year! Mostly because the weather is heading towards warmer days... and the ground is waking up and becoming alive with new growth!!!

My little herb garden is full of wispy spring-green shoots of chives and tiny green mint leaves that will lend wonderful fresh flavors to our table!

I want to dig in the dirt... clean up the debris of winter... and start planting early crops in the veggie garden.

AND I am looking forward to doing most of my cooking on a grill! Almost all food tastes better done that way!!!!

Wishing you a good dose of SPRING FEVER too! Now here's what's

Sauteed Broccoli in Garlic Oil

    I've got spring garden fever too! My herbs are going crazy with all the rain we have been getting. This year I also planted chamomile and mint, so hopefully there will be tea.
