Crazy-Busy-Crazy

That's how this weekend felt. 

Saturday was a party potluck style.  I brought Apple Baked Beans, Strawberry Spinach Salad, and Buckwheat Cornbread Muffins. It was all very good.

Today we visited a couple different churches. The church that met this evening has a meal before their time of worship.  I had enough beans leftover and the fixin's for another Spinach salad.  I only needed to mix up a new batch of dressing and we were good to go.  I also cooked up a batch of brown rice, tossed it with a bag of frozen broccoli, half a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, sautéed mushrooms, onion, and kale and we were good to go.  I like that we can bring our own food to events like this because not only do I know we have food that we enjoy eating, but we can share our new recipes with others.

Tonight we came home and mixed up some food for tomorrow's Birthday Brunch.  We're celebrating David's birthday with a feast and then a hike.

Here's the menu:

Pineapple Baked Beans
Vegan Breakfast Sausage
Mushroom Gravy and biscuits
Date-Nut Fruit Pie
Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole
Potato Crisps

Granola for the Hike

Portabella Burgers with White Bean Sauce
Salad
and some kind of vegetable that I can't remember. ;)

Tonight I put the beans on to cook overnight, granola made, and E made the biscuits. 

Tomorrow morning we're going to be hoppin' before we ever get out the door for hikin'. ;)

OH!   Today when I was getting dressed, I tried again with that white top that's been hanging in my closet.  Yeah, that one that someone gave to us a couple months ago and I couldn't even button it.  Yep, I tried it on a couple weeks ago and I was still popping the buttons.  Today it FIT! Fit, like, I didn't have to worry about popping buttons, even. 

I just really love that.
