afternoon snack

I don’t know about you, but I love afternoon snacks. When 3pm rolls around, I tend to get snacky. My snacks range from granola bars, coffee, fruit, pb scoop, to 1/2 sammiches.

The snack below is pretty typical for me:

Tofurky and soy cheese roll ups, mixed raw veggies like carrots, cucumbers, green pepper (all from our garden) and cauliflower.

at the inn

We love to stay at the Inn on Biltmore when we visit Asheville.  Saturday afternoon we watched the sunset on the veranda.

There’s nothing like watching the sun set over the mountains on the day before my birthday.

a few snacks: wasabi peas, honey roasted nuts, multi-grain crackers

zucchini bread

This was so delicious.  I used a recipe from Enlightened Cooking, a new cooking site I found when searching for a bread recipe.  We have an abundance of zucchini and squash from both our parents so, why not make bread out of it!  It was sweet and hearty and full of wonderful whole grains.  I used half whole wheat and half unbleached all purpose flour, and yellow squash.
