my girls never got dirty. at least not THIS dirty. brody eats dirt. so there's that. at least now i have big girls who will tell me when their brothers start doing something mischievious. of course i am learning to let go and just let them be. also to be noted after i gave the girls permission they also rubbed dirt on themselves.</div>

yep this was a recipe in the book. watermelon topped with lime zest mixed with sea salt. it was a good mix of sweet and salty, and clearly the easiest recipe in the book. memorial day was the best time to try this one out.</div>

we took a break from new recipes. partly because we were getting our grocery budget under control and partly because not much was in season. i am definitely NOT cooking 2 recipes a week. that was expensive and too time consuming. i found out most of these recipes are not hard they just take time and with 4 kiddos i dont always have that. but i am back at it and excited about all the summer season produce.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
also, this tomato pie. i made it twice this week, and if you need a tomato recipe give me a holler. this one is divine.</div>

this was a take on dirty rice. it was super filling and didn't even need an entree but we ate it with mustard baked chicken. i would definitely make this again for a filling easy to make big batch kind of meal. it did use chicken livers though and that may have turned me off a bit because i am not a fan of handling raw meat and they were extra slimy...and not something i usually have on hand.</div>
