Parmesan Popovers - Remember the Salt

I was inspired to make Parmesan Popovers today after watching Everyday Italian with Giada De Laurentiis on FoodTV this morning. I've never made popovers before today. They're like little quiche with the crust baked right in, but easier and quicker to make.



To see the recipe, visit FoodTV.com . I also made her Almond Blueberry Cookies today. Next I'll try her Iced Tea with Grenadine.

Thanks Michelle!

For Easter weekend this year John and I and Natalie and Kevin and Brent traveled to Fremont, CA to visit David and Michelle. We (John, me, Kevin and Natalie) left on Friday morning to get there in time for dinner at a local pizza joint called SFO. Brent left Friday afternoon in his own car because he had to work at the pool in the morning. Saturday we spent the morning having breakfast together fueling ourselves for a mid-morning/afternoon hike. Little Yosemite is a destination in of Niles Canyon that really is reminiscent of Yosemite National Park complete with a little half dome and a valley similar to that of Yosemite's valley with the stream running through it. Here is a picture of us at the "W" tree. David was there, really, he was taking the picture. Thanks David!


We hiked four miles, had lunch, skipped rocks, played with nature


and enjoyed the outdoors as well as each other's company. Brent left shortly after we returned; he was scheduled to work Sunday morning. His first "real" road trip. Way to go Brent! He made it there and back very safely. Saturday night we had dinner with David and Michelle and some friends of theirs. Sunday we went to church. Conveniently we were able to find a Calvary Chapel close by right in Fremont. When we returned Michelle and her dad treated us to a complete Easter Sunday brunch.



Yum! Thanks Michelle!
