Fresh from the Garden BBQ – Monday’s with Mami

As usual, Friday and Saturday’s are super busy in my household. On Friday night I finished a cake for a girl at my church.



I learned how to decorate cakes this past winter. My sister had alway’s wanted to learn so I tagged along. Together we took 3 Wilton classes at our local hobby store and I actually ended up teaching myself quite a bit by digging into online tutorials. I love YouTube! I had fun with this cake and am feeling super comfortable using fondant. I’d really like to start making some 3d figurines as they do in Europe.

Saturday was filled with a baby shower, grocery shopping, and softball games. My hubby’s team may have won their league. He was pretty pumped about it.

Sunday, sweet glorious Sunday. I’ve been trying to make a point of relaxing on the Lord’s day. My 3-year-old son and I had a mommy sonday! We had so much fun sneaking in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, gummy worms, and juice boxes to watch Transformers on the big screen! The big TV as he calls it 🙂 He picked the movie and fell asleep halfway through. As usual, after the show, we ended up in my garden at my parents home. My garden is doing amazing and my beans are producing beautiful colors of purple and yellow pods. They are amazingly crunchy and sweet! I love to eat them right off the plant.


5 pm rolled around and my mom and I had no dinner plans. So.. we looked at what was growing, what we had fresh from the farmers’ market, and made delicious fresh and healthy vegetable mixes. It doesn’t take a recipe to enjoy fresh vegetables from the garden. If you have extra virgin olive oil, onions, garlic, and herbs, you’re good to go!
