Say that three times - Bourbon Blueberry Banana Bread. Ha!
I made up the recipe. Sort of. I whipped up a loaf of it, and frosted it with an oh-so delicious, bourbon-y frosting. Not kid friendly, but a guaranteed way to make your bread last longer if you do have kids.
Oh, and I forgot the oil, but because I added blueberries, I was lucky it added some moisture to it.

Shopping Day ~ Black Bean and Corn Salsa
Saturday was a big shopping day. We hit four stores to restock dog food, salt for the softener tank, organic meats, and so forth. We had to make one stop for a new printer too. We had the trunk filled, our stomachs were empty and screaming for dinner.
Thankfully, before we left, I filled the crock pot. It's my healthier version of Pasta e Fagoli. I make this with whatever I have, and it always tastes good. Some years I use tomato sauce and paste, with extra broth, but this time I used some tomato basil soup and paste. The combination was delicious. I just had to boil the penne noodles and add them when I got home.

Random Tidbits ~ Project Complete
Woke up to find this fella laying near the driveway. It's not an odd thing. Every year we find one there for some reason. Usually after a rain storm too. He is far from the river that runs behind us, but he may be on his way there from the ditch too. We left him alone, but King wanted to eat him.

Millet Crust ~ Fruit Trees
Looking for ways to cook green beans? Or Millet?
We had a very good harvest of green beans and this combination of vegetables was not only delicious, but utilized my garden goods we stocked up on.
Here is what I did using organic and homegrown ingredients.

Discombobulated
Honestly, today feels like Monday. I feel sort of discombobulated due to everyone's schedules being wonky yesterday.
Two things happened that surprised me. I don't even have photos. Yikes.
One, I dressed for cutting wood, and as I was putting on head gear (to keep the wood chips out of my hair) Hubby said, "I going to go pick up R to help me cut wood."
"What?"
