Vegetarian Week Day 3: Mozzarella Sammies

Tonight we had Mozzarella Sandwiches and a side salad. I was inspired by a Caprice sandwich at Mollica's Deli here in town. Next time I will buck up and buy some good Italian bread rolls. Wasn't quite the same on whole wheat buns. I also want to find a recipe for homemade Italian dressing to top the sandwiches. I made a red wine vinaigrette tonight and it was okay.

Troubleshooting

So, as I'm trying to change my settings to use a password for my blog, it appears that is not possible on Blogger. I would have to enter the email addresses of all those who want to view my blog. Boo! I will research some more to see if it's possible to set up a password, but for now, guess it's open! I did ensure my blog is not on Blogger's list for searching. Guess that helps a bit?
If anyone knows a work around, please let me know! Cheers!

Vegetarian Week Day 2: Polenta

Tonight we made Polenta with black beans. If you like grits, you will like this dish. I'm not a huge grits fan, so I think when I make polenta again, it will be a side dish. I liked it, but I didn't love it. I have a bag of polenta, so perhaps I will seek out some more recipes for using polenta meal. I also will add more Parmesan before eating!

 This was my afternoon snack today. I cut up an apple into cubes and stirred in some peanut butter.

Amy's Visit

My friend Amy came to visit me a week ago. It was so very nice to get to hang out with her again! It was almost like college - okay, not really, but close enough!

Amy and I went to D Bar Desserts up in Denver and had a yummy meal/dessert. The owner of D Bar Desserts is on Food Network (which I am a junkie) and I was a bit starstruck to see him there.
We also hung out at a sleepy coffeehouse and I taught (or attempted to teach) Amy how to crochet. We ate some more yummy food from Thai Basil and Colorado Mountain Brewery. It was an awesome weekend!

Raz's 40th

My friend Raz had her 40th birthday this last June (yes, a bit late posting). She had a party at The Warehouse. It was a fun night! Raz, may your 40th year be most fabulous!! Hugs!

Better pic of Raz - Thanks Dian!
