Wow - this has been a great Memorial Day! My new work schedule has me off on Fridays and Ned's schedule this week was pretty light so we started our three-day weekend early :) I finally made it out to Mission Hills Nursery (had a Groupon for 50% off, woohoo!) and we picked up new pants for the deck and the cute planters outside the guesthouse. All drought tolerant - so if I forget to water every one in a while it won't kill them. Let's hope at least!
We also did some good cooking. I had been wanting to try a homemade onion dip, and I found a recipe online that was quick and easy. Um, if you're ever doubting whether or not it's worth making your own, it is. So tasty and healthy, we had it with pop chips and veggies. Also made some cookies - a new chocolate-cherry combo. Also ridiculously good.
Going to watch a funny movie tonight and hang out with the doggies on the sofa. Good times.
Here's the recipes! Happy Sunday!
- Caramelized Onion Dip from Southern Living
On this one, I added in my Kitchen Stories french herb blend and I also did a slightly higher onions-to-sour cream-ratio, cuz I cannot get enough of them.
- Chocolate-Cherry Heart Smart Cookies from Cooking Light
A really yummy healthy-ish cookie. I did all whole-wheat flour, mini semi-sweet chips instead of bittersweet and took the sugar down to one half-cup, lightly packed. Tasty noms.
