Chicken Sausage, Peppers and Couscous #WeekdaySupper

Posted on June 14, 2013 by Cindy Kerschner

Weekday suppers around here can sometimes take on a yard sale effect. Not exactly leftovers but more like fridge, freezer, pantry use ups. That BOGO chicken sausage deal sounded so good at the time, but now the one I paid for -I always eat the free one first, I know but let me have my small victory – 🙂 sits in the freezer and its not getting any younger.
I see a little bit of couscous or rice or orzo hanging around that’s not enough for a full dish makes me think, casserole.

Gifts for the Gardening Dad at Garden Sense

Posted on June 10, 2013 by Cindy Kerschner

Gardener Gardening (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Picture a garden. You’re wading waist deep through bushes overflowing with flowers. Off to the sides is a patchwork bouquet ready for cutting. Ripe fruit and veggies are abounding. The lawn is lush and green. Who do you see tending this paradise?

Chances are you think of Mom or Grandma. But often, it is Dad or Granddad who tilled, mowed, pruned, planted the trees, and built the raised beds, arbors and trellis.
Father’s Day for the gardening Dad, husband, brother, son or Grandfather is often overlooked. Instead of another tie, try gearing your gift towards his special interests.
Join me at Garden Sense this week at Daily Dish Magazine for gift ideas for your gardening dad. Remember, a gift isn’t always something purchased but it is something coming from the heart.
