Our power is back! It came back on late Monday night. Thankfully. However, we had to toss nearly everything in our fridge and freezer. I would guess somewhere around $200-300 worth of stuff, so that sucks. Basically I have some Grey Goose and kalamata olives left. And ketchup. A visit to the grocery store is in our near future.
Oh & giveaways. There’s still two going on: Kleenex Hand Towels and/or $500 Gift Card to Amazon. And another one coming up soon. Go enter!

This looks delicious, Melissa! Bummer about your groceries… that’s not fun!
Sorry about all your food! I hate it when the power goes out (we live way out in the country, so it happens often) because I’m always worried that I will loose my food. 🙁
On a positive note, this looks super! Love the sun dried tomatoes.
This dish looks delicious … perfect for summer too.
So happy your power is back!
