So I haven’t posted in a while. Life happens.

I finished up the school year with my preschoolers; went to South Carolina for my oldest friend’s wedding (I don’t mean she’s old. I mean I think out of the people I consider “current” friends, I’ve been friends with her the longest. haha); started cleaning up from the school year, reorganizing, rewriting contract/schedule/other documents to prep for next year;  dug up the sad diseased pea plants and replaced them with new seeds; planted lots of bulbs in the garden; cleaned the bathrooms top to bottom; cleaned the kitchen almost as thoroughly; and the list goes on.

Last night I made homemade lasagna with fresh herbs from the garden.

No pictures of the final product, but it was GOOD… the sauce layers had sauteed onions and mushrooms, lean ground beef, and tomato sauce. The cheese layers were “Italian blend” shredded cheese, fat free cottage cheese, spinach, fresh basil and parsley, eggs, and salt and pepper. YUM.

I also made cookies yesterday.

They’re my chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, but with butterscotch chips too.

And… I let some of these green beans get too big (ok, most of them) but I harvested beans yesterday. Aren’t they adorable?

I blanched them today and have munched a few… delicious! So sweet and fresh.

Also yesterday, I edited a ton of photos for joyful abode posts, so there will be a slew of upcoming recipes and such coming up. Woo!

What’s been happening in your lives? Has Summer given you a “fever” that results in a change of priorities? I know I can’t be the only one!
