Quinoa, Couscous and Cranberries (recipe another day)
Mom made these feta, tomato, and cucumber kabobs for NYE. So light and delish!
Just soak the tomatoes and cucumber in a little olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette and viola...a super easy appetizer!
Dad splurged and surprised Mom with an edible arrangement....I loved the chocolate covered granny smith apples!
