 many evenings these last two weeks have called for dinners on the grill- burgers, ribs, & fresh vegetables from the garden. we are still enjoying fruit smoothies for breakfast & veggie burgers for lunch. we are continuing to cut our food budget & save for other needs. i continue to stare at our package of lamb liver & wonder how i will ever use them... ideas? share recipes with me, you lamb liver enthusiasts!
