I missed you!

Hello blog world; I am BACK!!!  I realized how much I missed blogging and communicating with you all on my recent vacation.  I visited with my sister and brother-in-law who live in the Northwest.  I love that part of the country!  It is so advanced in "being green" and healthy that I knew when I got home I had to get back to blogging!

Not much is knew...Josh and I have not gotten very far on the wedding plans aside from the year (2012).  I had a great end to the school year and now a great vacation where I got to climb Mount Saint Helens and see the Pacific coast!  It is such a beautiful area...you are truly lucky if you live out there!

I have given myself two challenges this summer.  First, Josh and I are going to visit and hike as many state parks in the area as we can.Here are a few pics from our first hike:


Also, I am giving myself a challenge of Eating Well. You may be familar with the magazine and cookbooks.  I am going to only prepare Eating Well recipes for dinner this summer.  Tonight I made Cornmeal Crusted Nuggets with Blackberry Mustard Sauce.  I was kinda weary of blackberry and mustard together but the end result was delicious!

Here is the link to the recipe

Along with it I prepared fried zucchini with garlic powder and scallions, and salad.  I made a quick dressing with mustard, balsamic vinegar and honey...yum!

Here is the complete meal



Are you trying anything new this summer?
