Special Days

We celebrated St. Patrick's day a few days late with a play day for these 4 sweet cousins and siblings.  My daughter made this rainbow fruit pizza.

It was delicious and was enjoyed by the little ones as well as the adults.

My husband and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. He ordered this beautiful bouquet straight from Hawaii and it arrived a few days early.

I just love them.  We first saw bird of paradise flowers when we were newlyweds and stationed in Southern California and have liked them ever since.

Fancy vegetables

We found these varieties of fresh produce at Sprouts, a chain grocery store sort of like Whole Foods.

One night I cooked some of the fresh green beans with some of the whole tiny potatoes - just delicious!

Another night, I oven roasted some the tiny potatoes with just a little olive oil and coarse salt.  

The rainbow organic carrots are good too, I am not sure they are any tastier than regular orange carrots, but they are pretty.  

I peeled the whole bag and chopped them and some celery.  They are great with a little dip for a snack or side dish.  

A prayer in honor of St. Patrick
