A long silence indeed

I never thought I would stay for such a long time without blogging, but our last days in Portugal flew back, then we arrived here and had two days prior to opening our home and family to our new addition an International student we are hosting, Miss sleepy head!

Then school restarted, getting used to one more and her schedule of school and extra curriculum activities, then dance and so on and I kept on delaying posting.

Meanwhile as i was preparing for my trip to head to headquarters for my job and on my last trip to the local supermarket with my toddler, what had to happen??? As I was grabbing my last item at the store I do not notice some squeezed defrosted peas and there I go all the way to the floor and hurt myself big time... So that Saturday evening and night instead of cooking for a whole week worth of meals I was laying in bed in pain as I had never felt. Ended up in the ER, more laying down and of course I canceled my trip and now am dealing with physical therapy and looking forward to getting back to a normal life.

But.. I HAVE been busy not only cooking as well as testing some recipes, so as I still do not have all of the posting of the recipes I have been cooking here is a list I did test and or tried out and loved:

Buttermilk Sandwich Loaf

Crunchy Oven-Fried Drumsticks

Lemon Cucumber Cocktail

Sausage and Chutney Picnic Puffs

Yogurt Ice Pops with Berries

Beef Teriyaki

Steak Chimichurri

Vietnamese Iced Coffee

So enjoy some of these recipes until I get back into schedule!!!
