Picnic Dinner night chosen by Deavlyn! @ Avalon Park instagram.com/p/Cm7SwUiuf3W/…

New Years was busy. Made chili, split pea soup, and a shrimp variation on bruschetta. @ Avalon Park instagram.com/p/CnKev34O5_y/…

Threw the leftover stuffed pork loin on the griddle and melted smoked provolone over it. Grilled the fresh baked buns, top everything with a tossed caesar salad. @ Avalon Park instagram.com/p/CnaBHTpuJzy/…

Elevating left overs and making a meal out of what’s available is one of my favorite activities! @ Avalon Park instagram.com/p/CoS5cP0OHP7/…
