MY MARBURGER FARMS INTERVIEW WITH SUE WHITNEY...

I was so blessed to have the lovely SUE WHITNEY of JUNKMARKET STYLE stop by my booth at the Spring 2011 show at MARBURGER FARMS to film a segment on garden style. I just saw it on the MARBURGER site.

Go HERE to watch SUE and I chat about garden charm. I was so NERVOUS! I hope I don't look like a total dork.

Be patient, it's at the end of the segment.

Oh my goodness...

SLIPPIN...

on the blog time lately.

Here's where the time goes.

1. Three days a week go to taking care of the grandies.

2. Of course, getting ready for MARBURGER in four weeks.

3. Working out even more than before. Walking three miles per day at least six times a week and now going to the gym with a friend for spin class four to five times a week in the evening.

4. I'm taking a styling/design gig for a sweet lady who contacted me through my blog/home sale.

Promise to try and do better with posting.

Promise...

CAN YA HELP A SISTA OUT?

Help wanted!

For some time now I've been unable to "follow" any new blogs I've started reading.

I click the "follow" button on the blog. Then I select "google" to sign in under my account.

 

And thus begins the circle of the above actions. I have even reset my password.

Still can't follow any new blogs.

Frustrated...

Anyone else having this issue with blogger?

Easy Peasy Summer Salad

I recently did a post about my veganism, and received a few requests for recipes for some great vegan food. This delicious and so simple salad is perfect for summer when hot food just doesn't sound appealing.

 

Tropical Black Bean Salad With Mango

3 cups cooked or 2 (15.5 ounce) cans black beans (drain and rinse)

1 ripe mango, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2 inch dice 

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

1/4 cup minced red onion

1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro

1 jalapeno, seeded and minced (optional)

3 Tbsp grapeseed oil

2 Tbsp fresh lime juice

2 tsp agave nectar

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp ground cayenne

In a large bowl, combine the beans, mango, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, and jalapeno if using, and set aside. 

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, agave nectar, salt and cayenne. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well. Refrigerate for 20 minutes and serve. To make the salad a main dish you can add 2 or 3 cups of cooked long~grain brown rice. 

This recipe is from ROBIN ROBERTSON'S fabulous vegan cookbook
