Its been a long time...

I have not posted in a long time, but I am hoping to get back into the swing of things.  I have been reading up a storm and have many good recommendations.  Today I will offer up Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight.  A mix between Gone Girl, Dare Me and Defending Jacob.  It is a suspenseful, fast read that alternates between regular prose, facebook posts, texts and emails/IMs. 

 

 

 This recipe was clipped from the ProJo a while back.  The entire family loved it.  Great summer salad!
