If you love mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and basil, this is your salad!

Caprese Salad with bread & wine
Caprese Salad Recipe
2 - 3 ripe tomatoes
Fresh mozzarella medallions(I prefer Paula Lambert's Mozzarella)Paula Lambert Mozzarella Company
25 -30 Fresh Basil Leaves (I like to use sweet and purple basil)
EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
balsamic vinegar



Caprese Salad
 On salad plates, layer your basil leaves, sliced tomatoes, then mozzarella slices, then layer again. Season with coarse salt and fresh ground pepper. Drizzle with EVOO, and balsamic vinegar.

Very Simple, quick, and easy! But the best part is how delicious this salad tastes.

Dog Care with Herbs

Take good care of man's best friend!

"I've seen a look in dog's eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think that humans are nuts." - John Steinbeck


My little "Esparanza" Hope is a lot of fun. Roy has said that we covered all the bases, "She's black, chinese, and has a spanish name." She is also a star! She was featured with me as Mr. March in 2007 in a calender, Hunks and their Huggables." That was when I decided to come out with an herbal dog shampoo and conditioner. They both work really good, and use aloe vera, nettle, pine, burdock, chamomile, rosemary, ivy, arnica, ylang ylang, lavender, eucalyptus, and cedarwood.

Today I have decided to share a simple recipe to use between your dogs baths.

Rosemary Oil Flea Spray

Mix 1 teaspoon rosemary essentail oil, with 1 cup of water, in a small spary bottle. Shake well and spray on your dog and rub in their coat, to help repel fleas.

Here is a link on how to make herbal dog biscuits.

Hope you all have a great day, and enjoy your "hope."
