The past week has been wonderful in regard to rain and happy gardens! Along with the green vegetation that flourishes after a series of rainstorms, there is usually a runoff of the “spare” water. Sometimes, when enough water comes down over a short time, the runoff hits the river and causes the river to rise.
This has been another great week at Art, Texas, USA. The leaves are almost under control at my house. Our kids and grandkids spent Sunday with us. We had to use the wipers on the way to church this morning. Life is good.

This is a great recipe when you have company coming. You can make this ahead time. I think you could even freeze it. Its one my favorite recipes my sister makes. Serve it with a side salad (I like to serve it with a guacamole salad) and some tortillas and you’ll have a complete meal.
