Happy Monday to everyone! I hope your week and weekend was as productive as ours was. I think I mentioned last Monday that C & I built another raised garden bed and raised flower bed while we were off for spring break. Last Thursday, C’s dad helped us out a bunch by using his handy dandy tractor with a front-end loader to bring us four beautiful scoops of composted dirt to fill these and top off the old beds.
I got up Saturday morning to weed and top off the strawberry patch with fresh dirt and it looks so good! There are plenty of green berries already and we made sure to cover them so last week’s cold snap wouldn’t hurt them. The two garden beds and the flower bed are also ready to plant so hopefully I will start filling those up this week.
C & I are also helping his parents refresh their landscaping a little so we worked on that Saturday afternoon. Fresh mulch always makes plants look so much better. We hope to get more accomplished this week and weekend. Wish us luck! Since we are doing so much outside, this week’s menu is a little on the simple side again, but I do have a couple of new recipes planned for next weekend. Have a blessed and wonderful week, everyone!
Grilled pork chops for 2 & oven baked fries
Tacos with fresh fruit
Grilled steaks with butter roasted potatoes
Pizza night
Sliders (new) with oven baked fries
Orange juice cake (not new but I have never posted it on here.)
