I took some pictures as the sun was setting on the way home today. We get to enjoy some of the most beautiful sunsets on the way home some days.

Grandma Brown’s Banana Bread
Banana bread is a favorite in our house and this is a recipe from my husbands’ grandma. He’s a guy who doesn’t like nuts or chocolate chips thrown in so this is a perfect ‘plain’ recipe. The guys really like having this treat in the field. This recipe is for a double batch it just seems like one loaf is not enough and is typically gone in a day.

Kim’s Poppy Salad
This is one of our favorite summer salad recipes and it is so easy to throw together. 
Kim's Poppy Pasta
Ingredients
- 1 box Bowtie Pasta
- 1 cup Cashews
- 1 cup Red Grapes, cut in quarters
- 1 bottle Brianna's Poppy Seed Dressing
- 1 lb. Chicken, cooked (may be canned, rotisserie or leftovers)
Instructions
- Cook pasta until al dente. Cut grapes and break chicken into bite size chunks. Rinse pasta under water until cooled. Combine pasta, chicken, grapes, and ½ of the poppy seed dressing. Mix well. Add more dressing as needed.
Notes
The noodles typically absorb the dressing overnight so I add more the next day and another handful of cashews for crunch.
