Remember our Veteran’s tomorrow and every day.
Today, I got my hair trimmed, now I have to go to Cape to run a bunch of errands, meet hubby for a late lunch, then go to Optimist Bingo. It sure is nice to be closed for the season. I have much more free time. I know, things will get boring by February, but in the meantime I’m enjoying it.
It was 25º here this morning, but it’s sunny and supposed to get up to 50º today. Let’s hope. Have a great weekend. See you Monday.

Quinoa Salad With Roasted Squash, Dried Cranberries, and Pecans
This recipe is proof that quinoa salads are anything but boring: This recipe, loaded with sweet roasted squash, kale, and feta, is a total flavor bomb.
1 cup quinoa
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 medium Delicata squash, seeded and thinly sliced into half moons
1 bunch Tuscan kale, thinly sliced and stems removed
1/3 cup pecans, toasted
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup crumbled feta
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Spread out on a sheet tray to cool completely.
Meanwhile, arrange squash on a baking sheet and roast until tender and golden, 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, toss together quinoa, squash, kale, pecans, and cranberries. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Drizzle over salad and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper, crumble feta on top, and serve.
As you waste your breath complaining about life, someone out there is breathing their last.
Appreciate what you have.
Be thankful and stop complaining.
Live more, complain less.
Have more smiles, less stress.
