It's been a long week but a VERY busy week and it's the first of 3 long, busy weeks in a row! This time of year is my BUSIEST of the whole year at work! It's NUTS! On top of that we have been going thru a lot of changes as well as equipment issues as we were hit by lightning over the weekend and had LOTS of issues with various pieces of equipment and so on and so forth. Another reason I have been out of sorts is because I had to go back to the dentist today and that sucked! I'm finally getting to the point where I feel semi-normal again. Found out I have to go back in September for another filling, too, THAT BITES! Pardon the pun, there. In other news...I do have a few photos, fun, and food to share with you including this first pic. It's Tangy Limas with Squash and Tomatoes! I really love the lemony flavor of this paired with the dill and produce I used! It contains: 1 C Lima Beans, 1 Onion, Grapeseed Oil and Water to consistency wanted, 1 Zuke, 1 tea thyme, 2 tea Wildtree Dill Blend, 2 C Diced Tomatoes, and I sprinkled Vegan Parmesan Cheese and used the juice of 1 lemon.
I also made an interesting Buffalo Black Bean Dip recently, too! In this I used a bit of Coconut Oil and heated it with 1/4 C Chipotle Hot Sauce (I used the rest of my now discontinued Wildtree), 1 C Black Beans, 1/2 Red Onion, 2 Cloves Garlic, 1/4 C Cilantro, splash of Balsamic Vinegar. This was a bit bite-E, and after sitting in the frig overnight it got more garlic-E-er and I really liked it!
Last week - Thursday thru Saturday - we took our Wildtree Display over to our local fairgrounds. There were LOTS of different things going on including a BBQ Festival, Regions Archery Tournaments, Vendor Show, Music Festival, Silver Cup Horse Show, and Go-Kart Racing. We didn't do as well as we hoped but the weather was CRAZY! It was 93+ degrees for 2 solid days with over 85% humidity then Saturday evening it 'let loose' and poured HARD CORE!
Paco and Riley enjoyed the time home last night and they snuggled up to each other, too! I had one on one leg and one on the other leg!
Tonight I hope to meet up with my cousins from TN/AL area. Haven't seen them in a year and before that it was several years.
The first picture looks colorful. I like tangy dishes. I might have to make one soon. :) We have lima beans growing in the garden, I use them in a variety of dishes.
ReplyDeleteThe bean dip looks great too. I use them with raw bean chips. I used to make the bean chips quite often, not so much anymore.
Your dogs look very relaxed! Cute picture... :)
Thanks! Awesome you grow them - they are one of my all-time favorite foods! Those Raw Bean Chips sound great!
DeleteSorry about the dentist, not fun. But the Tangy Limas with Squash and Tomatoes and the Black Bean Dip look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling MUCH better today but NOT looking forward to Sept! Waaaaah~
Deletehurt like hell!
Struck by lightening? That does not sound good AT ALL :(
ReplyDeleteLightening & dentist in close proximity? That doesn't sound fun. Poor you!
But look at you making fun food anyway! Love the tomato dish and although I'm not a fan of spice, the buffalo dip does sound tasty.
Your dogs are adorable =)
Thanks so much! We are still recooping from the lightening, actually! ALMOST there...eeek
DeleteNot sure if I will be able to post much until after next week but I will sure try!
