You can serve me Focaccia Bread any time of day or night lol! Thanks for always sharing your creative ways! Sending hugs and wishes for a wonderful day!
Thanks for featuring my Honey Balsamic Roasted Acorn Squash! I make acorn squash about once a week in cold weather. Sometimes I just cut it in half (scoop out seeds), turn upside down in about 1″ water and microwave about 8 minutes. Then you can stuff it with whatever you want. One of my favorite stuffings is cut-up fresh apples w/cinnamon, sugar and a little lemon juice ~ stick them into the oven to bake with whatever else is in there (especially good with pork). * Happy Valentine’s Day and I’ll see you again next week!
Hi there Cynthia! Sounds like you love acorn squash! I love it too! I never tried that microwave method… that is now on my list of things to try! I usually stuff it with a veggie stuffing and wild rice or do a simple brown sugar/apple/cinnamon … it never fails to be yummy! Thanks for sharing your ideas and I know I will be doing the balsamic this weekend! I LOVE Balsamic! You take care now and enjoy your week! Hugs!
Thank you so much for featuring my Valentine art & for hosting the party.
Our weather has been crazy here in Georgia, as usual. It has snowed twice, which is rare for us. We had several days where it never got above freezing (also rare) & now our temps are in the 60″s. Next week we are supposed to have temps in the 70’s all week. I hate cold weather so I spent a lot of time in January at home. Looking forward to warmer weather!
Hey there Virginia! So great to see you and hear from you! Weather here has been nuts and continues to be crazy! 70 DEGREES… that is whack!!!! Like I said… we have gone down to 2 degrees and today it is 42! Well I hope you get your warmer weather soon!!! I like it about 50 degrees… it could stay that way all year lol! Sure hope you enjoy your warm weather this week! Have an amazing week! Sending hugs!
Mondays are special, Andrea, because I get to visit your link party and share with other bloggers. Thanks so much for hosting each week. I really appreciate the feature for the thrifted Valentine’s table. It is amazing what you can find at a thrift store. Hope you have a lovely week.
