Busy, busy, busy.

That about sums up the last couple of weeks around Badnana's place.  
Went to Arizona to visit the "should have been, and really are family/friends"  Had a great time as always.  All the love in the world lives in Arizona.  

 Plus, there is the benefit of inside jokes and no one caring, - even embracing, how weird I can be ..........

And then we cook. Stress makes me want to cook, so the people in the house are thrilled, with the cooking that is, not the stress.

Plus , goal this year is no repeating foods.  So I need to try out lots of different things.. and I am having the best time

Ricotta gnocchi

Then we moved onto ham and spinach quiches, it was such a hit I ended up making four of them!

Grating butter is a real time saver! 

Dijon Chicken was also a hit 

And these lovely granola fruit bars disappeared almost faster than I could get them on the plate!!

And I have discovered that I love, love, love parchment paper!!

Now, to rest for the evening and then back to it!
