I grow asparagus in my garden each spring. But even if you’re buying it, asparagus is both fresher and less expensive when it’s in season. Wouldn’t you love to enjoy fresh asparagus throughout the year? Me too!

I’m making my own inexpensive RANCH-STYLE BEANS these days. The recipe is easy using items I typically have in my pantry. I prefer to cook a large 2-lb bag of dried beans at a time & it makes a LOT! Feel free to scale it down to cook a smaller bag of beans.

Stuffed Peppers are a favorite in our dinner repertoire. I love bell peppers and usually plant several bell pepper plants in my garden.
One of my favorite meals using bell peppers is making stuffed peppers.

Sometimes unexpected company comes to visit and lunch time rolls around – what to serve that’s quick and guest-worthy?
My go-to idea is quesadillas. It’s filling, delicious and quick to fix.
