NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It's my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian 'Quote Cup' passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, and sometimes some photos of family fun. I love trying new recipes...and love getting recipes you would like to share!
Our granddaughter got some great photos of the cousins last week...
When I woke up this morning I was surprised at how bright the room was... then I looked out the window to see the ground covered with snow! It reminded me how snow brightens our winter days... it's amazing how much light snow reflects! Unfortunately, it is no longer winter and I have been meeting with people getting their homes ready to sell, waiting for the green of spring before putting their homes on the market. We are supposed to get 6-10 inches by the time snow stops falling tomorrow night! I told buyers here from Los Angeles last week that it's unusual to have snow this late... but I guess I was wrong, found a photo I had taken of snow on April 11, 2011... I must have thought it was unusual then, too!
RECIPE OF THE WEEK
One of our grandsons loves fish... and dips everything in ranch dressing. So... I figured, why not combine the two. I slathered some cod (have also used walleye) with ranch dressing (thick style), topped with finely shredded cheese, and finished with buttered bread crumbs... simple and delicious.
