And $1.69 for a sweet pepper! I wonder what the local farm stands will be charging this summer. I know the cost of their supplies, from compost to seeds to containers, has increased tremendously. I do hope they raise their prices, as their profit margins have always been low.
Today I made Tropical Muffins, with orange juice concentrate, Greek yogurt, dried fruit (apricots, pineapple, mango, cherries), and my own candied orange peel. I topped them with lemon streusel. This is the weekly drawing from my husband's Treat Jar.
An idea on a different track: Your son Will is very interested (and gaining skills!) in cooking/baking. Consider using some of the gift card money to buy something for him - for birthday, Christmas, whatever. I don't know what is available on Breadtopia, but you might find something perfect for him.
Today I prepared a one-pot casserole, with sliced Kielbase, yellow peppers, diced onion, minced garlic, shredded zucchini from last summer, rice, shredded cheddar and mozzarella. It was excellent, but it is pretty heavy, not the healthiest meal.
Burgers on the grill, and fries. The snow held off until just as my husband was bringing the burgers inside! I think we are not supposed to get much, but the temp should drop from 40s to 20 or below. Good for sugaring!
