I know I promised you that today I would share a recap and pictures from Food Blog Forum last weekend, but I forgot about these!  Today is Pass The Cookbook Club day.  Hopefully you will forgive me, because these little squares are way better than the pictures I was going to show you!  Don’t worry, a recap is coming; either Sunday or next Thursday.

I have been wanting to try a veggie burger for a long time.  I have seen lots of recipes that use black beans, but those have kind of scared me.  I am not a fan of beans.  So when I found one with quinoa and mushrooms, I was all over it.  Super healthy, easy, and lots of great flavor; sounds like a great dinner to me! And when the leftovers are as equally delicious?  I am super happy.

Please head on over to Culinary.Net to grab the recipe, and to see what my family thought about these!

What a fantastic weekend!  I met some really amazing women, and had a wonderful time in Florida.  Disney really knows how to put on a conference.  Hopefully over the next few months you will get to see all the stuff I learned, put into action here.  Stay tuned on Thursday for some details and pictures of the weekend!

I’m leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again.  Sorry, every time I get on a plane that song gets stuck in my head.  I have my dad to thank for that one!   I do know when I will be back…Sunday night.  I am headed to sunny Florida for Food Blog Forum this weekend.  It will be an amazing weekend, and I am so excited it is finally here!

Summer has arrived here in Colorado.  We went straight from winter (snow on May 1st) to summer.  This week has been in the mid 80′s.  Who needs spring, anyway!  This last weekend we spent 3 hours pulling weeds, tilling soil, and planting our garden.  We went a little crazy this year!  We have 2 kinds of green beans, 2 kinds of squash, Brussels Sprouts, 4 tomato plants, asparagus, parsnips, potatoes, sweet corn, strawberries, 3 hot peppers, a bell pepper, 2 kinds of basil, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and cilantro.  You can probably expect lots of recipes with veggies later in the summer

My husband and son are big fans of fish.  I know how good it is for you, I just haven’t been able to get on board with liking it.  Every time my husband orders it out I try his, hoping this will be the time I like it.  I finally like shrimp, so it only seems like a matter of time before fish follows, right?

I hope that all of you Mom’s out there had a wonderful Mother’s Day!  It was a gorgeous day here in Colorado.  We drove up into the mountains and did one of our favorite hikes in Rocky Mountain National Park.  They still had lots of snow up there, so we actually got to snowshoe one last time this season.  It was a little strange to be in the 70′s and have lots of snow around.  It was a great day to spend together as a family.

It is Friday, are you ready for the weekend?  Do you have something special planned for Mom on Sunday?  I sent my Mom and MIL special gifts in the mail this week.  As for our house, I leave that up to the boys.  Usually my husband does a great job of doing something special for me on Mother’s Day.  Last year we went mini-golfing, he made breakfast and lunch for us, and then we all made homemade pasta for dinner.  Personally, I don’t need much.  Doing the dishes, and cooking a meal is perfect in my book.

Last week we had our final cooking club of the year It was a fun year of planning dishes around a different color each month. To wrap up the year we ended with the rainbow. At first I wasn’t sure if that meant any color of the rainbow, or our dish should be a rainbow of colors. I figured it was the later, so that is what I did. Turns out I was right, that is what everyone did! Complete with over the top rainbow cupcakes and rainbow jello (layered with 8 different colors), it was definitely a colorful and delicious day!
