I loaded this honey-lime salad down with strawberries, mushrooms, and some shredded Parm!
Hot Black Bean Dip leftovers came in handy the next day when we made layered nachos
Stand back when Mr H is mixing spices for his nachos! 
3-2-1 Dressing was a quick assembly, and fresh with dill weed!
Our table is still of the floor variety, owing to the fact that we don't have chairs yet...


The vegetables for the lo mein noodles with peanut sauce were lightly, lightly
sauteed in sesame oil
The Trader Joe's brand did not disappoint, although I added a few tablespoons
of peanut butter for extra peanutty-ness
Cold Overnight Salad
It behooved Young Master J to sit on the table at supper!
Six of us gathered 'round for a meal on the floor, followed by Mama Beryl's
exquisite desserts.  She is welcome in my home ANY time!  
Blessings as you plan your menu this week!
