Bean Salad

 

 

 

Ever wonder why I don't share many recipes here?

Even though I really enjoy cooking and entertaining?

 

Well, the answer is that I am really not much of a recipe cook.

I am more often a "fly by the seat of your pants? cook.

Oh, yes!  The other reason is I never remember to take a photo.

Following is a perfect example.

 

My husband had been wanting a smoker,

and just last week he ordered one, it was delivered

and he smoked for the first time.

 

He smoked two pork butts,

and they smelled and tasted so good.

We got rolls to make sandwiches,

and our son and grandson were bringing chips and dessert.

 

I called my girlfriend to come over to join us.

Then I decided I better throw together some kind of side dish.

I looked in the pantry and pulled out a can each of

black beans, cannellini beans, corn niblets

and a jar of chopped pimiento.

(Just about any kind of bean would work.)

 

Next I look in the refrigerator vegetable drawer

and pulled out a zucchini, some fresh parsley

and some green onions.

I also pulled a pack of diced pancetta out of the freezer.

 

I rinsed and drained the beans, corn and pimiento

and poured them in a medium sized bowl.

I diced the zucchini, chopped the parsley and green onion

and added them to the bowl.

Finally, I added the diced pancetta (which I cooked on a paper towel

in the microware for about one minute) to the mix.

 

I seasoned to taste with rice vinegar, salt, white pepper

and stevia (any sweetener would work).

 

The salad not only looked colorful, it was delicious

and received rave reviews.

 

So, there is a share of a lot of my kind of cooking.

Spur of the moment, appetizing, easy

and what I have on hand.

 

Hope you don't mind the lack of measurements and specifics.

Maybe one of these days I will remember to take a photo.

Six Years of Pink Saturday - May 24, 2014

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can you believe we have been

 

pinking together for six years?!!!

 

 

Thank you for making

Pink Saturdays special!

 

And, thank you for celebrating with me!

 

 

 

Happy

 

 

 

 

6 Years of

 

 

 

Pink Saturday

 

 

♥♥♥

 

 

It is time for pinking.

 

 

It is each and every one of you that have made Pink Saturday what it is today.  I appreciate your friendship and support more than you can ever know.

 

I've been thinking so much about each of you.  Smiling at our shared memories, laughing at shared fun, remembering our tough times, and with a full heart thinking of those who are no longer with us.  We have shared smiles, laughter, sweet memories, broken hearts, sickness and loss.  I consider each of you a blessing in my life, and I treasure our time together.

 

Today, I want to recognize one "pinkie" who has never missed a single Pink Saturday since she began in our first month.  Can you guess who it is!  This person has made us laugh until our sides ached, and she has made us proud of her diligence and accomplishments.

 

Thank you to

 

Dana at The Stone Rabbit. 

         

 

 

Here is Izzie at Dana's first

Pink Saturday.

 

 

And, here is Dana's fun pink party.

 

 

Don't dare miss this one!

 

It made me laugh until I cried.

 

 

So, to Dana and every other

"Pinkie" ever,

I salute you!!!

 

 

Here is to many more years of

 

pink love.♥♥♥♥♥♥
