I give up trying to be wordless. It just doesn’t happen!
So, we’ll call it “Slightly Loquacious Wednesday” instead.
A couple days ago I made pork bao buns.
They were pretty good, but not perfect. I’ll have to try again.
I also made whole wheat linguine with clams. It was amazing and I was mad I forgot my lunch leftovers.
Tonight was herbed flank steak with asparagus and Jess’ amazing mushroom recipe.
Our amazing dog Raven…
Has a new friend! Meet Maddux…
He’ll be staying with us for a while… or forever… let’s hope for the latter!

A while ago, MyBlogSpark sent me this care package featuring Green Giant broccoli in cheese sauce, an insulated tote, bowl, silicone spoon, and pedometer. We ate the broccoli a week or so ago, and I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious it was. I’m not usually a processed cheese fan, but for the nutrition, it rocked!

I love brussels sprouts, especially when they are soft. Hot siracha (sp?) really makes them yummy.
My favorite veggie combo is potato, broccoli and cheddar cheese, yum.
Love that laughing Maddux!
Hmmm…. i love roasted brussel sprouts and artichokes
Hahaha!! I can’t believe I’m an entry possibility! Excellent. Since I can’t exactly follow myself, I’ll tell you that I love red potatoes with dill and butter. Yum!

One of my favorite veggies would have to be spinach! You can mix it with lots of things for a yummy salad or smoothie.

I absolutely love carrots! They’re great raw or cooked. I’ve recently found that they’re also good dipped in hummus. You can’t go wrong with carrots!
One of my faves is creamed spinach. It’s so bad for you but so tasty!
My favorite vegetable right now is probably either broccoli or kale.. One of my favorite veggie combos is celery with PB or AB
YUMMM!!!

I LOVE broccoli and cheese!
I’m in Canada, so probably can’t enter (but for the record, my fave is asparagus with butter and parmesan) – but had to comment on the lovely Maddux! Actually, I “awww’d” out loud at BOTH of the dogs! Can’t wait to hear the story of his background and if you end up keeping him. AWWW. Have a great day Mara.
Roz´s last [type] ..This post is a quickie!
It’s hard to pick a favorite combo, but I think brussel sprouts roasted with balsamic vinegar is quite delicious!
I love spinach and beets with feta cheese!
And I liked you on FB
What an adorable new friend! What’s the story on Maddux? I love goldens, they have just the sweetest faces.
Fave veggie combo has gotta be brussel sprouts with butter! NOM!
Roasted asaparagus with rosemary….so good!

Mara – Tony and I were at the Crystal Lake Friday’s last night – first off – I got carded! Then I tried their sweet potato fries – pretty good. Even better? The sweet potato fries, dipped in mustard and then sandwiched between pickled jalapenos I had on the side of my turkey burger – yum!
Oh, and my new job is right by The Lucky Monk in South Barrington – I think you and Adam have been there already, right?
Carrots, celery and string cheese or PB!
Hooray for Raven and Maddux! Very cute.
I adore a baked potato with sour cream. If I’m trying to be healthy, I like lightly sauteed spinach with garlic.
Baked potato and cheddar.
Broccoli sauteed with cashews…. yum!
Broccoli and cheese!
