On the stove...

bubbling away and filling the house with earthy, healthy aromas are a big pot of pinto beans and a bigger pot of collard greens. I'm cooking the greens Teresa's way with an onion, a bit of chicken stock, some lemon juice, and a little salt. Homemade salsa with fresh tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and peppers from the garden will grace the beans and brown rice. Brown rice will get cooked in the rice cooker later. Love that appliance. It's a nice big one and can cook brown rice for a crowd.

In the oven...a carrot cake.

Heading back to the kitchen to mix up cream cheese frosting while it bakes.

Oh, yum. Coming home from church with the hungries and this really makes them go deep!

It sounds just perfect for the kind of day we're having today. It is actually cool and rainy - two things that seemed so foreign during this long drought and hot, hot summer.
