Portobello Mushroom Pizzas

I'm so happy to be sipping some cabernet while watching the Rangers and waiting patiently for more photos to transfer into iMovie....When you have about 581, it takes approximately 7 minutes on this beautiful Mac. That's impressive.

I had a fabulous day...

The day started in Flower Mound at Mommy and Daddy's house. Mommy and I sipped coffee on the bistro and enjoyed our morning. After Laura woke up, we went shopping. In the afternoon, I popped on over to Oak Cliff to see George play. 

At the venue, there were two adorable renovated vintage trailers.  Inside were cute antiqued relics and old clothes. I found a dress and a shirt that I fell in love with...for a total of $15. Nice! Fits like a glove.

Tonight I cooked some delicious portobello mushroom pizzas. I thought I'd share the recipe because it's (a) delicious, (b) vegetarian, and (c) gluten-free (I have two celiac friends who might be reading this!)...

All of my produce was fresh, organic, and from Central Market. 

Mmmmm...

(Recipe from Pinterest, an awesomely addicting virtual pinboard that you should DEFINITELY check out if you haven't already)

Basil, Tomatoes, Red Onions

Saute onions and garlic...after soft, add tomatoes and chopped basil.

Smother a portobello mushroom with the sautéed deliciousness. Cover with feta cheese... 

Put in the oven (preheated to 400) for about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley. Oh my goodness, to die for.

Enjoy!

A Day at the Farm

Our family has a farm out past Justin, TX, and I have always enjoyed going up there since I was a young girl. It's nice to get far away from "normal life," and walk on a dirt road, while gazing up at trees older than anybody in my family. Today was no exception. The entire Van Meter family was there, plus George. Allie, my cousin, has been taking guitar lessons for 8 weeks, and has REALLY caught on. She is a natural! And hearing the two of them play together...absolutely melted my heart. Mimi cooked a delicious meal, complete with a vegetarian quiche made especially for me and Laura. Everything from the amazing food to the family time made for a beautiful and WONDERFUL Saturday.

My favorite pic of the day.

A Beautiful Saturday in March...

What a Perfect Day.

I started off by working the Saturday morning clinic at work, and that made me feel productive. George came and picked me up, and we ventured to Dallas for the Dallas Flea. $5 to get in, free parking, beautiful sights to take in, and I ended up with a few great finds. Afterward, we met up with a few friends at Twisted Root for a bite and some beer. I had the veggie burger, fried green beans, and Shiner. Unbelievably delicious. After grubbin', we headed to the Bath House Culture Center at White Rock Lake in Dallas. That was Papa Georgio's fabuloso idea. The day was beautiful and I was so glad to be out and a part of it!!! Here are some pictures of the day--
