Farm-fresh eggs (not our farm yet, but look how yellow they are!!), leftover Easter ham, hashbrowns, and orange smoothies.

Maid Rites, California blend, and fries. Nothing fancy, but very satisfying!

It was actually nice enough to grill last week, instead of this week when you barely walk outside without freezing right where you are. So, we had grilled pork chops, shells and cheese (from a box-it’s delicious!), and peas.

This was awhile ago, but it was yummy!! Breakfast bake with potatoes, sausage, peppers, scrambled eggs, cheese, and guacamole. And, of course, strawberry-orange smoothies. Meg LOVES smoothies. She’ll down a 10 ounce sippy cup full before I even get our glasses filled!

Bean soup (with my apologies to Andy’s Grandma Plochberger for adjustments to her recipe) and cheddar biscuits!

After a weekend of lots of food and activity around our house (check the link for the Picasa pictures at the bottom of the page for what we did!), we were ready for something lighter last night. No work for me today, so we had a liter of Millstream Brewery’s Amber Ale with our snack supper while we watched the John Wayne version of True Grit.

Last Saturday we enjoyed our last weekend of nothing to do for awhile by staying home and relaxing. It was wonderful!! Meg and I made banana bread in the morning with orange smoothies made with some creamsicle jelly that never jelled before Andy even got out of bed.

Then, we had meatloaf, egg noodles, and the last of the Grandma corn from last summer (I think I said we had the last of it already, but I found a rogue bag in the bottom of the freezer).

I’m going today to get seeds to start for our garden. We’re looking forward to summer’s bounty already!!

More freezer/pantry clean out happening around here: Stuffed clams, the last of the carrots from last year’s garden, and noodles from a packet. We’re working hard to be fancy around here…

Southwest casserole, a la Brooke T. and avocado. For once, Meg actually downed her share of the avocado. Guess this means we’ll have to get it more often if she likes it!

We’re playing “clean out the pantry” at the Linsenbardt house these days in preparation for new spring and summer goodies that will hopefully soon be coming. So, we had pasta, that honestly wasn’t very good, with tomato cream sauce and bacon. Also, some fruit salad with weekend leftovers.
