You talk a good game

I know I've done a lot of eating out and talking about the places I have been. I bet some may wonder, "what about the entertaining aspect of her blog?" Well I will let you in on a little factoid about me...I can cook like nobody's business, and throw a party together in a pinch!






This weekend marked my Spring Jumpoff. I did a bunch of gardening, hammered my little tushie off, and had some good people over for some simple fare and one heck of a cornhole game. The fire pit was lit, and Jase stood at the helm of the grill.



We started with a simple avocado dip. I like to use a little corn in my guacamole. I love the little bit of crunch you get when you bite into it. There was a little cheating involved, I used a can of Rotel tomatoes. What can I say, a little cheating goes a long way! The canned tomatoes have a little lime and onion in them and it packs zing and spicey punch.















I may have gotten a little ahead of myself; but I enjoy a tomato salad. I know, it's a bit early for tomatoes; I just couldn't help myself. Impromptu gatherings call for a simple salad of tomatoes, cukes, and onions, drizzled with olive oil and rice vinegar!

This post was a little light. It is just the beginning of what's to come.
