This is our sweet little Jack Russell Terrier, Holly.
We bought her a thunder shirt last week. She has storm issues, and our friend Terri (who is a vet tech & a dog expert!) suggested we try one. It does seem to calm her down quite a bit. I'll have to take some pictures of her modeling it. She looks adorable in everything.

~ California Casserole ~
My adaptation of a recipe from "The Big Book of Casseroles." Monterey Jack cheese makes a delicious difference in this dish. It is a perfect main dish for vegetarians, or side dish for a cookout. It was a big hit at our house. I hope you enjoy it, too!
3/4 cup vegetable broth
3/4 cup Minute Rice
1 cup light or vegan sour cream
1 can (4 ounce) diced green chiles, drained
1/4 cup slided green onions, including green tops
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
fresh ground pepper
salt, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 large zucchini, unpeeled, cut into 1/4 inch slices
3/4 can stewed tomatoes (or 3/4 cup diced fresh tomatoes)
2 cups freshly grated Monterey Jack cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small saucepan, heat the broth to a boil.
Add the minute rice, take off of heat, stir & put cover on. Let sit for 5 minutes,
until done. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix sour cream, chiles, onions, oregano, salt, pepper and parsley.
In a 2 quart casserole dish or bowl, lightly coated with cooking spray, add half of
each of the following items in layers: rice, sour cream mixture, zucchini, tomatoes,
and cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with cheese.
Bake, uncovered, until bubbly, 45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Serves 4.

Blogging - I'm back....
It's been a while. I feel that I should get back into the habit of writing....
About vintage finds, recipes, dogs, business ideas.
Now that tax season is wrapping up, I feel creativity creeping up. Yeah!
