Inspired by my sister, Laura- My first Blog Giveaway!

Okay, so I thought this blog was primarily going to be a homeschooling blog.  Turns out, it's mostly about all the food I've been cooking lately.  To celebrate the unexpected in life, I'm going to have my first giveaway on my blog.

$25.00 gift card to Target   to be randomly selected from those who leave a comment after this post.  


So leave a comment, suggestion, cooking tip, homeschooling anecdote or other useful quip, and I will enter you in the drawing to be held on Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 1:00 PM, eastern time.

Bonne Chance!

    Well, I think my comment should be, as it was on Laura's, that to be able to successfully post a comment you have to click on "post comment" three times before it actually posts. And also that you don't need a URL.

    I think we should make something with potatoes.

    How did I not know you had a blog? How great!!

    And I have to agree with The reluctant academic and suggest potatoes. I've been thinking of starting a potato blog.

    O no..how can I almost miss this....wait..I need to write something useful right?
    Here is a recipe from a friend: I dont know if you knew it before.

    Very healthy salad:
    -Romaine lettuce (or something similar)
    do not use prewash, wash it your self carefuly to remove all chemical (if any), wipe it with kitchen towel (if you have time:))and wash it with lime juice.
    -Cucumber
    -Tomato
    That 3 veggies are the basic, if you have apple, avocado,or other fruits that will be great.
    Homemade dressing:
    Extra virgin olive oil, fresh garlic chopped,lime juice, salt and pepper
    No Carb...
    As much as possible , whenever you want... as your snack too
    Eat itu with protein (chicken or fish)steam or grilled

    what a wonderful idea to blog about the days of you homeschooling the kids. Time flies by - and by having a blog you will be able to reflect. I wish I had a good recipe to share but can't think of one...it's Fall just make something pumpkin flavored : )

    I don't know. I can't figure it out. I'm not that technologically saavy. Did you see that I'm doing the drawing at 3:00 PM? I'm leaving in a bit to pick up the farm produce.
