I am glad to be home from vacation.  The best part is eating better.  I cant tell you how much I missed my healthy basket of food.

I am sorry but no matter how I cook it I still don't like fresh artichokes. So thanks for the family members that took them home and ate them.

Onions are one of those items that are great to have handy.  I keep one in the fridge and the rest I cut up and freeze.  I add the frozen chopped onions to anything that will be cooked.  the fresh ones I use in fresh salsas and salads.
