Glitch

Not sure why a post I made in August just decided to appear. There seems to have been a glitch in the system. It's fall, I know, but save the recipes when summer rolls around again :-)

Summer eatin'

I'm not going to go into the fact that in the last year and a half I have been hard pressed to be consistent in my blog entries....I'm just not. So, let's just move on :-)

I am so inspired about the following summer recipes I have had the pleasure to try in the last few weeks, that I had to tell you about them! Thank you to the wonderful women in my life who made them and injected my taste buds with the wow-factor, bigtime!

This salad was found in an Oprah magazine a few years ago....and will move to the number one spot of your summer sald repetoire. Like Tom Shane, I guarantee it. It'a a watermelon, feta, mint salad that is unbelievable. Wait, you say...ah yes, I've had that before....no, this has kalamata olives, parsley, onions soaked in lime juice...I'm telling you what...make it, but print the recipe, because everyone will ask you for it.

My new favorite main course, is a Scallop dish with corn and nectarines.
The combination of flavors is really inspiring and makes you want to think of other interesting combos that will surprise and delight! Serve this with an Israeli cous cous topped with roasted tomatoes and voila...amazing.


Lastly, the Paula Deen Peach Cobbler recipe to just hit it out of the park. What? Do you think I'd let you get away with a deliciously healthy meal without a little butta? Top it with fresh whipped cream you whip yourself, and send everyone home in their food coma.
Good stuff.

Best of all, it's the people gathered around the table, the stories told, and laughs felt deep in the heart that make this food that much tastier.
