Summer Supper

Simple, fresh, and tasty. This is a meal I grew up with. Last Summer I was nursing a newborn that did NOT like it when I ate tomato products. So I missed out on the Summer treat of fresh garden tomatoes. Yum!! My Dad is an amazing gardener and he supplies us with fresh produce this time of year. We had this for supper the other night:
Toasted bread layered with fresh tomatoes, onions, and bits of bacon. THEN...comes the good part.Creamy cheese sauce poured over top, sprinkled with paprika...Yum!

Here's the recipe for the cheese sauce:
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. flour
1 C. milk
1 C. Velveeta, grated

Melt butter in heavy saucepan. Blend in flour until smooth. Add milk slowly, stirring rapidly to prevent lumping. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and cook 1 minute until it thickens. Add cheese. Remove from heat & stir well to blend. Enjoy!

Living on the Edge

Besides the fact that there is a near mishap because she gets too close to the edge of the couch...I LOVE this video. Her laugh makes me smile.

Saturday

Somebody seems happy that it's the weekend! :)

Hope everyone has a fabulous Saturday! I've been battling a nasty cold/sinus crud for the past few days and had to miss my dear friend's going-away party today because I felt so yucky and didn't want to pass any germs along to anyone else! I've been feeling better as the day goes on though...so maybe I'll feel good enough to go to Joel's work picnic/baseball game tonight?? Time will tell!

We celebrated Joel's 30th last weekend!! His parents had us all over for lunch and bought him a cake for the fellowship last Sunday night, after church. His Birthday was Monday, so we had a family day at the zoo and went out for lunch. For supper, I made him stacked burrito pie (so good!) and we had cupcakes.
I love this man!
