The end of summer veggies...

Summer is winding down here in New York and I'm trying to take advantage of the ease of throwing some vegetables together for dinner.  Last week I picked up one yellow squash and one zucchini without really knowing what to do with them.  After a little research I found this recipe for yellow squash ribbons on the Cooking Light website.  The result was a colorful step away from the veggies we normally eat.  I also made another new favorite- steamed green beans with a dash of olive oil, lemon juice and salt.  Yum.  What vegetables are you eating now?  And what are you looking forward to as the season changes?  I can't wait to experiment with apple crisp.

Nacho is tired of the heat...and ready for football season:

Sad Puppy

We've left Lucy home a lot lately while we have been travelling non-stop.

Think she is having a pity party?

Don't worry, it healed quickly. But it was pitiful while it lasted!

Today they are also giving out free reusable plastic grocery bags at all stores in the UK, Canada, and US.
What a great idea!
