Sunday Dinner, Pork Tenderloin on the Grill~

After all the hard work we did today an awesome dinner was had by all.  We made pork tenderloin on the grill and it was great!  We put the loin in a zip lock baggie and marinated it all night long.  Then we grilled it and it was nice and juicy and melted in your mouth.  Here is the pork on the grill and the after when we were getting ready to eat!  Mangia!~

Strawberries

These babies are as good as they look!  Did something different this time.  Put shaved chocolate on top.

YUM-O


Had to hurry up and put in the fridge it is so hot out!  This is Marsha's surprise.  However I had a bad container of strawberries, (a-hem  Bos), but I made one container.  I will still drop them off!

Summer is here~

All this wonderful weather that we are having has kept me busy all week with all the Coca-Cola we have been selling.  So once again, I have not been able to blog this week.  However today I was a busy gal, I mowed the lawn, went shopping and found some time to make some great things to take to Kyle's house tomorrow.

First, I made the Bow Tie Pasta Salad and this time I made it with the tri-color bow ties, just to give it some extra color.  It looks wonderful! I can't wait for everyone to try it.  So if you are reading this and you are going to Kyle's tomorrow, look forward to this salad.

I also made the famous Garlic Jalapeno Dip! This is fab and once again I did not take a pic of this I will try to tomorrow.

I also have a special surprise for my friend Marsha.  I can't post it just in case the girls read this before they get over to see what I am dropping off.  Don't tell her, let her be surprised!~

Sunny and 86* and my first giveaway!

Hello everyone from sunny Saginaw!  I know I have been bad all week not blogging for you, but I do have a good excuse!  I was busy!  Work and my stupid knee have prevented me from doing alot this week, however guess what.  I am here today!  I didn't make anything special this weekend, well except for my yummy garlic dip but I forgot to take a picture of it :(  But I did get alot of cleaning done. I cleaned the basement and did lots of laundry.  I also worked on my cookbook this weekend.  I did make one.  I have a lot on order, so 1 isn't putting a dent into it.  However there is light at the end of the tunnel.  I am getting closer to publishing it.  I am just waiting for them to get back to me!~  Isn't that exciting.  We are going to have a contest to see what the name of it should be!  I have an idea of what I want to call it, but suggestions are always good.  So lets see if anyone is thinking on the same page as me!  If I pick your name that you e-mail to me you  win! You will get a free cookbook.  If there are more than one winner I will give that person also a cookbook too!  So come on here we go send all suggestions to Krisbrandi@att.net!  Thanks and as always..... Mangia~!

Lasanga Rolls

This is my first time making them, however I have had some in the past. About 10 years ago when I first started calling on Midland I ate Lasagna Rolls at LaLonde's Market in Midland. They have a wonderful lunch set up there, lots of hot dishes. Anyway getting back to my Lasanga Rolls, I made the recipe up myself so we will see when we taste them. This is a good recipe that you can make ahead. I actually made it for Monday nights dinner. And in less than a half of an hour I had these beauties put together. Then bake them while you are multi-tasking elsewhere around the house and wala! A make-a-head dinner has been made~
