Southern Outdoor Wednesday

It is Outdoor Wednesday at our friend A Southern Daydreamer’s blog. Here is our entry in the post. These are pics from where I used to live. Spring in the Ozarks.

A sunrise like this makes it worth it to get up really early!

I loved living in that house. The view was great and the sunrises were greater!

Today’s Lagniappe: Pasta Primavera

12 ounces pasta, bowtie noodles
2 yellow squash, thinly sliced
10 ounces asparagus spears, cut in 2″ pieces
8 ounces baby carrots, cut lengthwise, half
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups skim milk
1/4 cup sour cream, light
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Add pasta to a large pot of boiling water and cook 10 minutes. Add squash, asparagus and carrots and cook 8 minutes or until pasta and vegetables are tender. Drain and place in a large serving bowl.

Meanwhile put flour in a large skillet. Slowly whisk in milk until blended, taking care to get into corners of skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to low and simmer 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat, whisk in sour cream, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Pour over pasta mixture and stir to mix and coat. Sprinkle with cheese.

    I love the Ozarks. Haven’t been there in years. But I use to go to Eureka Springs from time to time. That was where I got my inspiration in the late 1980s to start making my own quilts

    What great pictures. Where did you live in the Ozarks? We live in Missouri and they call these the Ozarks, so didn’t know if it was the same. Thanks for stopping by my blog today and I love the header on your blog. Have a great day!

    Your pictures from the Ozarks make me homesick. We were supposed to be in Fayetteville for a weekend earlier this month, but my husband got sick. Tell your husband that he can get some of those flip flops from the Arkansas Alumni Association. The link is https://www.arkconnection.com/cgi-bin/ark.sh

    I love the Ozarks. We just went there for the first time three years ago.

    The view from your deck was amazing. I love all the colors.

    That recipe sounds yummy too. I’m going to print that one.
