Family Vacation

We're taking off on a family vacation tomorrow. I'm not quite sure where the wind will take us, but I do know I'll be off line all week long.
Wishing everyone a great weekend and a nice week ahead!
I'll be back soon!

My Huge Bowl of Apricots


Today me and my kids got to harvest my very first bowl of apricots!
Wow! I have to say they're very sweet and tasty too. They're also organic, no sprays or pesticides what so ever.
I harvested so many of them that I'm going to make up bags and give them away, or some will end up going to waste.
I look forward to snacking on these delicious fruits all week long!

Summer Slaw with Lemon-Soy Dressing


Here's another great recipe I got from my local grocery store. It's delicious and perfect to serve on those hot summer evenings. You won't end up feeling guilty about eating a whole bunch of saturated fat either, because this recipe does not contain mayonnaise.
Ingredients;
1 (10 oz) package of coleslaw mix
3/4 c chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
In a large bowl, combine coleslaw and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, soy sauce, and oil.
Add the dressing to the coleslaw and mix together.
cover and refrigerate for a few hours or 1 whole day.
When ready to serve top with chopped peanuts.
