Catching Up

I have a great post planned about this past weekend, but I'm waiting to get a couple of pictures from Brandon's sister.  I've decided I like to include pictures in my posts when possible because I think it makes things more interesting. 

I spent last night writing an article for our church newsletter.  This is the first article I have written for the church so I'm a little nervous to send it because I'm not totally sure what they are expecting.  I had all of the information handed to me, I just had to compile and condense it.  Hopefully it will pass the test :) 

I also tried out a new side dish recipe last night and I liked it pretty well.  I had some cucumbers, tomatoes and fresh dill leftover from our trip to the farmer's market a couple of weeks ago and I needed to get them used up because I plan on going again this weekend.  I'm not sure if Brandon liked the salad too much, though.

Cucumber Dill Salad (source: Kraft Foods)

1/2 cup Reduced Fat Sour Cream

1/4 cup MIRACLE WHIP Light Dressing

2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

2 large cucumbers, sliced

1/4 tsp. black pepper

MIX sour cream, dressing, dill and lemon juice.
POUR over cucumbers in large bowl; toss to coat.
SPRINKLE with pepper.

*I added cherry tomatoes to mine and also added some seasoned salt.  I thought the dressing was a tad bit bland.  I think it would also be good with some red onion thrown in the mix.

I served the salad with grilled BBQ chicken and Ore Ida Crispy Crowns (my new love!).
