It's been a long, cold winter this year. And I, for one, am thrilled to see the longer, warmer days starting to settle in. If strawberries are ready near you, this bread is moist, delicious, and sweet - perfect to usher in spring. If not, come back soon and try it out!

Cooking: Adding More Veggies and Fruit to Your Days
About a month ago, the new RDA guidelines came out that said that we should be eating 2 1/2 cups of veggies and 2 cups of fruit each day for optimum health. I have a post on easy ways to incorporate lots of veggies into your days, and one on two easy ways to get lots of fruit each day.

Cooking: Ooey Gooey Delicious Veggie Sandwiches
I love sandwiches, but I get tired of pb & j and I try to make luncheon meat be a rare occasion. I spent about ten years of my life as a vegetarian, so I know that veggie sandwiches can be bland and dry. But not this one, baby. This sandwich is ooey gooey deliciousness.
Cooking: Bacon Tarragon Red Potatoes
I don't know about you, but when I was growing up, vegetables with dinner meant canned corn, peas, or green beans heated up on the stove with a big pat of butter melted in. The end.
So as an adult, I have had such a hate-hate relationship with dinner vegetables. Frankly I find canned veggies with butter unappealing. But all of the "side dish" recipes I find in cookbooks seem to take nearly as much time and effort to make as the meal itself! Not for this busy mama.
In case you're in the same dilemma, I thought I'd share some of the veggie side dish creations I have found or come up with that are delicious, fairly easy & quick, and, well, side-dishy. Enter the bacon tarragon red potatoes. Five little ole ingredients plus the red potatoes. Boil the potatoes, cook & crumble the bacon, throw it all together and you're good to go.
