Happy Mother’s Day to all of you celebrating with your mom or your children! Chase is working today, so he and I will celebrate later this week, but I did get to spend some time with my mom. After church we went out for lunch. I had some nice grilled veggies with balsamic glaze…
… green salad …
… and a Poinsettia - cranberry juice and champagne!
Here’s a few pictures of what’s been cooking around here recently.
Isa’s Perfect Grilled Portobello. I had a Portobello the size of a dinner plate and of course needed to do something fabulous with it. Isa’s recent post seemed in order. Here it is marinating.
I grilled it outdoors the best I could on a very windy day.
I didn’t make a sandwich of it, but it was a juicy burger on its own. Perfect indeed.
I think I made three meals out of that huge thing!
I boiled and browned some Brussels sprouts, then coated them with my favorite mustard dressing and fresh dill.
I fixed myself a huge taco salad for Cinco de Mayo. It was really delicious with fresh greens, cilantro, onions, salsa, black beans, homemade cheese, and tortilla chips.
I picked up another CSA box that looks pretty similar to the last one with beets, carrots, cilantro, dill, green garlic, green onions, lettuce, radishes, swiss chard, turnips, and strawberries. Last night I made mashed turnips and kohlrabi …
… and turnip greens with green garlic and green onions.
So fresh and delicious.
I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend.
PS - This is my 300th post!!!

My mustard dressing recipe is equal amounts of Dijon mustard and apricot allfruit, thinned with a little water, milk, or yogurt.

Happy Mother's Day and Happy 300th!
Everything looks great, as always. I love your Cinco salad, what kind of homemade cheeze did you make? I've been contemplating that portobello post. I have a hard time cooking them and making them not-gooshy.
Congratulations on your 300th post! And Happy Mother's Day to you too :)
Happy Mother's Day, Diann! You're a great mother - Chase is a lucky guy! And 300th post - wee haw!
Ok, I've never, ever seen a portobello that big before! That's crazy!
Hey Diann, Happy Mother's day. Your post clearly indicates that you had a good one :) The portobello looks gorgeous!
Wow, that is the largest portobello I have ever seen....!
Happy belated Mama's Day.
That's the biggest portobella I've ever seen.
Happy 300th post and happy belated Mother's Day!
Happy belated Mother's Day! The veggies with balsamic look delish!
Wow, congrats on number 300! By celebrating again later this week, you get to extend the holiday!
How funny, we fired up the grill over here, too! (And twice, since we celebrated with both sides of the family) Looks like some great stuff, as per usual.
Beautiful portobello! I made those on mothers day at our cook-out. So fabulous!
Happy belated Mom's Day! Everything looks delish & I LOVE Brussels Sprouts!
Yum. All the food looks terrific. The peaches came from the Sunset Valley Farmers Market. They are delicious. Hope you have a lovely day.

I am drooling over that mushroom and the greens!
I'm celebrating Mother's Day this Sunday with my boys.. (I was sick on Mother's Day)
Happy Mother's Day!
No offense to Isa, but I'd rather have a mushroom burger taste like vinegar than wine :P
