A Quick, Easy, And Delicious Meal

I stumbled on this quick and easy dish by accident one day, and it has become one of our favorites...

Saute a whole onion in a little olive oil. To that add a can of black beans that have been rinsed and drained, and a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes. Sprinkle with a teaspoon of ground cumin (more or less according to taste), and heat through. If you want to, make a little brown rice on the side, and add it to the mixture (about 1 1/2 cups), or serve separately. Serve as is, or serve wrapped in tortilla shells. Garnish with a little fat-free cheese and light sour cream. It's very good!

Homemade Waffles Served With Powdered Sugar and Blueberries


Our 14-year-old son made these delicious waffles for breakfast yesterday morning. We make our own homemade syrup, but I preferred mine served with powdered sugar and fresh blueberries.

Productive Day

Full day of school, got van inspected and licensed, went to the Amish store and stocked up on whole grains and spices. Visited with several people, including an Amish lady who is going to come along side and help me learn how to use my pasta maker correctly. What a blessing!

Purple Crocuses


Today would have been my mother's 69th birthday. Oh! How she loved purple crocuses! A friend of mine let me borrow this picture of the beautiful purple crocuses that her daughter gave her a short time ago. Aren't they lovely?
