I just posted a new recipe for Jicama Slaw (vegan and gluten free)!

A Beautiful Day at the Dallas Farmer's Market!

On Sunday, we took a little trip over to Dallas to enjoy the Farmer's Market.  While there, we sampled and purchased lots of FRESH, locally grown produce. Although it wasn't a frugal trip, it was well worth the money spent knowing that we are supporting local farmers.

You have many choices at the Dallas Farmers Market. You can support local farmers, who bring their in-season, super-fresh vegetables and fruit to Shed 1 for sale every day, or you can opt for fresh produce brought in from all over the country. You can buy prepared foods or the ingredients to cook them. You can take classes to learn more about nutritional, healthy food, or you can schedule a special event for your organization or company. dallasfarmersmarket.org

Gorgeous peppers!

The mangoes and tomatoes were delicious!

Fresh Black-eyed peas remind me of my husband's grandmother "BawBaw" - she would buy them fresh in the summer and them freeze them to use all year.

This is our "haul" - fresh beets, mangoes, tomatoes, jicama, black-eyed peas, raspberries, peppers, pears, cabbage, cilantro, limes, garlic, onions, peaches, and corn.  We're gonna have fun cooking this week!

So proud of Our Yearbook!

I have been the yearbook rep at my school for 4 years and have thoroughly enjoyed working with *School Annual Publishing.

• The book is produced completely online - no picture developing, cutting, or pasting.  
• All of the school portraits are uploaded and can be flowed into the class pages with one easy click.  
• The candid photos can be uploaded into categorized folders and then placed on the pages by simply clicking and dragging. 
• A special photo upload link is also available for parents and students.
• School Annual offers a huge selection of designs and clip art to make your book unique and special.
• Products and prices vary based on your needs.  Our school made a 56 page, full color, soft-cover book with the "Flashbax" insert for under $15 per book!
• Customer service and tech support is excellent
• Production time is less than 6 weeks

If you are involved in producing your school's yearbook please check out School Annual Publishing before signing next year's contract!

A wide variety of covers are available to choose from or you can  use your own customized cover.

After you create your template for the class pages, "flowing" in the pictures is a breeze.

Creating "events" pages is fun and easy with the huge selection of clip art and background designs.

The "Flashbax" section recaps the year's events and trends - the kids love it!
