What's for Lunch Yesterday and Today?

 First I made a simple salad - about a 3 serving size.

 I love carrots!

 I dumped out the sugar juice on the fruit. I live in Wisconsin and our choices of fresh fruits are small, so this is good fruit option for me.

 The melon was on sale. I love fresh melon. It's a good choice for lunch.

I added about one serving of the carrot salad to a large bed of romaine lettuce. No extra dressing! 

I had some leftover pasta chicken salad and a few slices of cheese for the protein part of my meal.

 I got the plant just before St. Patty's Day for only $3.87 at our local grocery store.  It brightens up my day to have all the plants in my home. 

Up close of the leaves.  The plant closes up at night - leaves and blossoms. It's really cool. Never had a plant like this.

 I love the little blossoms.

The berries in my water don't really add flavor, but they look cool!

 OK, I couldn't eat it all, so put it all on one plate and saved it for a mid afternoon snack.

 I drink all my water.  I saved the berries for the afternoon snack.

Today, I fried up 2 eggs and added a little shredded cheese, sliced a tomato, and had another helping of the carrot salad.

 Some of my parsley was ready to pick. I added it to my lunch! 

What did you have for lunch yesterday and today? 
Enjoy!

Parsley's Making Progress and More...

When the snow is swirling around outside, I am very thankful to have my little indoor garden. I planted parsley and basil together in large jar.

 In the bottle next to the parsley I planted some more parsley, but it hasn't sprouted yet -- I think it was too wet in the bottle.  I forgot about it being moist.  When I plant the rest of my herbs this weekend I will dump it and start over.

 My aloe plants seem to thrive in the winter and the summer!

That's the first Amaryllis that is leaning over on the jar.  It's bloom was beautiful.

Remember the one that didn't bloom.  

Someone left a comment and told me it might be too moist.  Sure enough, I dumped it out and stuck it in a bucket with another plant that I was quickly re potting.
Look at it now!

It is not going to bloom, but it is looking pretty healthy now!

I really don't have a green thumb, but I sure do like having the green plants around me in the winter.
Enjoy your day!
Marcia
