Puerto Rico, Bread, and Gardens

Let's here it for my 2nd post on a weekday so far this week ... woo hoo! ha.

I've been slacking off in that I haven't even mentioned the weather recently ... I used to do that all the time, lol. Here's all I have to say ... I'm loving this Spring/Summer-ey weather!! : ) (Though I must admit, I wish I lived by a beach ... anyone have one I could borrow? I can't seem to find any in Missouri!) Last time I was at a beach was in Puerto Rico about a year ago on a mission's trip. I sure loved it there! Can I go back, please?Back to reality ... I'm thankful for the beautiful weather ... beach or not.

Now onto some randomness ... I love sprouted grain bread! We recently tried this sprouted rye seed bread. Here are the stats and ingredients for anyone who cares:Conclusion? I liked it but there were a few bites that I tasted the caraway seeds just a little too much for my likings (I don't love caraway seeds, but they're growing on me). I decided I prefer they sprouted barley bread version much better.

Last night, I cooked some chicken breasts buuut we didn't feel like eating them so instead ... we had our wonderful stand-by ... egg sandwiches (did I ever mention my husband makes the best egg sandwiches ever? because he does!!)He cooks the eggs in coconut oil and mixes them with rice and seasonings, and they taste best with a laughing cow wedge spread onto the bread ... mmm!

He was even nice enough (even though he wasn't feeling well) to make one for me, too : )

And last but not least in all this randomness ... here is a picture of my mom's beginning-to-look-pretty-bountiful vegetable garden(Which includes potatoes, cantaloupe, onions, kohlrabi, beets and beans. You can't see the cucumbers, zucchini, summer squash, tomatoes and peppers. I wish I lived closer so I could go veggie shopping in her garden!)

Aaaand here is a picture of some of her really pretty clematis: (click to enlarge ... it'll look even better!) (Disclaimer: I know nothing about flowering or gardening. The only reason I even knew this was clematis is because of the caption under my mom's Facebook "Garden & Flowers" photo album, in which I stole this picture from. But one thing I do know is that my mom is pretty much the best gardener I know!)
