Rain ~ Mushrooms ~ Gary Sinise ~ Pesto Dip ~ Spanish Paella
Good 42ยบ raining morning. Another 1/4".
I'm waiting.....
This is interesting about mushrooms, some things you might not have
known...
Because mushrooms are white or tan in color, some assume that they don't
pack the nutritional punch of more colorful produce, like tomatoes or broccoli.
But, what mushrooms lack in color, they more than make up for in their health
benefits. A serving of about 5 medium mushrooms has just 20 calories and
contains niacin, selenium, riboflavin, vitamin D, iron, and calcium. They have
been shown to help maintain a healthy immune system and may have anti cancer
properties to fight the development and progression of cancer ... and are also
said to help prevent heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels. Mushrooms
also act as a great meat replacement in recipes for vegetarians because they
have some of the same flavor characteristics of meat.
One of my favorite Hollywood people is Gary Sinise. He will be given the
highest honor the Army bestows on civilians...
Now I love pesto, and this is a super easy quick
dip...
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 container (7oz) pesto sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Mix it up, refrigerate until ready to eat, and serve with
chips or veggies.
Yesterday was catch up day. So exciting. Let's see, clean out fridge, wash
sheets and make bed, vacuum, dust. UGH!

Rain ~ Blooming Tree/Running Creek ~ Brian & Sami Disneyland ~ Eggstractor ~ ♥Cats♥ ~ Pizza Potatoes ~ Spinach
Good 41ยบ drizzling morning. Another 1/10" of the wet
stuff.
We were supposed to get a "chance" of rain yesterday, but the
"sprinkles" came and went all day... so, guess that means "chance".

I have one tree that has started blooming...
The creek is still running pretty good....
And I tossed out corn for the birds and one lonely young Jake came

tour. Can't wait to hear about it and see pictures. Here are a few pictures from
Brian and Sami's trip to Disneyland last week...
So............ yesterday I tried the new Eggstractor I
bought.
I hard boiled eggs, according to the Eggstractor
instuctions... Then I used it to take the shells off the eggs...
Some of the egg shells came off fine, some didn't, one egg broke in
half..... I spent $14.99 for it and really, not worth it! Will stick to the
peeling by hand, although I never had the problems of that one gal in one of the
videos!

National Spinach Day
Oh how I love it!!! Cooked or raw!!
National Spinach Day celebrates, this healthy and nutritious spinach.
Popeye the Sailor touted the value of spinach. Nutritionists agree, that Popeye
is 100% correct!
Gardeners know that spinach is easy to grow. And, it's hardy. You can plant
it as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring. Why, that's today in many
parts of the country! More on Growing
Spinach.
Celebrate today by:
1. Eating spinach. There's no shortage of recipes. It is in everything from
soups to salads, casseroles, omelets, and much more. It can be eaten raw or
cooked.
2. If you are a gardener, go out and plant some spinach.
