Simple Pleasures~
Written by Sue, February 23, 2011
My simple pleasure today is being able to go out to my garden and gather these...
Come in the house slice them and add to this....
To put on and in this....
 go for a walk, come back in the house to the most wonderful aroma of this...

And the best simple pleasure was to hear dh say"mmmm this is so good." Such sweet music to my ears. I love to garden and I love to cook, especially if the veggies come from my garden. I found many simple pleasures today, but I chose this one because the end product brought a much welcomed Simple pleasure to DH.

I am linking up with Dayle for Simple Pleasures, please feel free to join and share or go and read more simple pleasures (HERE). or click on the icon.

Oh, my I can smell that delightful looking chicken all the way over here! There is nothing quite like picking and cooking with your own garden picked veggies. Loved your Simple Pleasure today.

Some of my best recipes have come from Blogging friends. It looks like I got another one (recipe & friend)!

Julie Harward said...

I know that feeling...and your chicken looks wonderful too! :D

Oh I so agree...what a wonderful pleasure...and stopping by here is one of mine!

Debbie said...

I think you nailed a very good simple pleasure. When we put in a garden last year for the first time in years, I had a whole new interest in cooking.

Now on another topic. I'm confused. I thought you weren't posting because there was never an update on "Where Memories are Made". That's the one that comes up on my homepage even though I think it says "Pear Tree Lane."

How do I follow here so I don't miss a post? I don't see little faces grinning back anywhere...

Can you email me at wordsonwheels@live.com if it's possible?

Heather said...

Mmmm...mmmmmm :) I love the smell of chicken baking with all the yumminess of fixings and the best part is the pure freshness of it all.

Vee said...

Nothing better than the aroma of a baking chicken and I do believe with your fresh onions and spices, it must have been out of this world.

Debbie said...

PERFECT simple pleasure...yummmm, but your right..a happy hubby is definitely another! Have a wonderful day! HUGS

Hope you'll top by the Beach Bungalow sometime for a visit!

That chicken looks so good. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I agree that picking fresh things from the garden and then turning them into a delicious meal is truly a simple pleasure.

Oh I am green with envy! My garden is still under about 5 feet of snow! Last week it was under 6 feet but we had some warm weather for melting! Spring is coming.

Simple pleasures have a way of becoming the big things!

After reading your post about spring onions I walked out to my garden and harvested some growing in my garden. Tomorrow I will use them when I bake a hen. You turned your simple pleasure into mine also.
