Eat Your Veggies!

Rosemary Chicken and Roasted Vegetables

Did you eat your veggies today?

I did!

We had Rosemary Chicken and Roasted Vegetables for dinner tonight.

It's so easy to make.

Put skinless, boneless chicken in a baking pan.

Rough chop red peppers, carrots and broccoli.

Lay them out in one layer in a separate baking pan.

Drizzle both the chicken and the veggies with a small amount of olive oil.

Sprinkle both pans with black pepper, rosemary, sage, onion and oregano.

Add a few red pepper flakes to the veggies if you like some heat.

Pour a small amount of low sodium chicken broth into each pan

  (just enough to barely cover the bottom)  to help keep things moist while cooking.

It also adds a bit more flavor, since I did not add any salt.

Roast in a 350 oven for about an hour, til the meat is cooked through and has a nice light brown tinge. 

The vegetables taste so sweet when they are roasted!

Simple and healthy!

(Feel free to substitute any of your favorite veggies and herbs.)

Green Reamers and Nutcracker Sweet Antiques

It's official.  I now have three green glass reamers, so it's a collection.

I can't believe I found the one in the upper right corner for $3 a few days ago.

That's a steal of a deal!

  

I've had the others for several years and have shown them in past posts.

Speaking of pretty green glass, 

I saw these gorgeous pieces for sale last month

at a little antique shop in Paola:

Nutcracker Sweet Antiques.

Look!  They had a reamer just like one of mine!

 I really liked the Raggedy Anne and Andy dolls,

the awesome red scale,  turquoise coin bank

and little toy iron.

The owner was just as nice as could be.

And there was a cute resident puppy-dog and bird. 

Plus there was a great little restaurant next door called Beethoven's No. 9.

It was such a wonderful little shop and I hope to make a return visit soon!

I've Got The Cups Out

Come on over!  

I've got the cups out and am brewing a pot of Earl Grey.

Squirrel Chaser

"Quick!  Catch that squirrel!!

Where'd he go?

I don't see him!"

 "Wait a minute... how did I get so high up here?

Maybe if I go out on this limb... no that is not working.

Maybe I should try to back down.  

Or maybe I'll try to come down head first.   

Maybe I won't climb down at all!!

Meow!  

Meow!

Meeeeeooooooow!

Come and get me out of this tree!"

Arboretum

Follow me to the pond and over the bridge,

 Into the garden and under the trees.

Butterflies flit, turtles sun, bees buzz and children run.

A perfect day at the Arboretum.

Blue Plaid

 I seem to have collected quite a number 

of blue checked/plaid tablecloths over the years.

And ya'll are not one bit surprised by this statement, are you?

Crazy Daisies

I'm having so much fun makin' crazy daisies on this little flower loom!
Yarn, ribbon, or raffia wrapped 'round and 'round.

Add a wee bit of sparkle.
One package ready to go.

PS-  I think I need to find one of these.
