It has been sooo hot here its hard to think about much in the food dept.but... a girls gotta eat!
This morning hubby, Savannah and I started out with some fresh eastern peaches, I wait all year for June and the mouth watering sweetness of these babies... I mixed in some juicy strawberries and we were all happy campers!
We puttered around the rest of the day with various projects,I have been working on a story board for my youngest daughters wedding next Spring... more on that later, Savannah worked on writing her name, she is starting kindergarten in the Fall! We are really enjoying her visit with us but she is heading back home next weekend. Anyway..... back to the food.... for supper I had planned a charred Romaine salad... I use Romaine hearts... wash them and take off the outer leaves, brush them with olive oil and grill, yes,grill them for 3-4 minutes to warm and char them. Sprinkle with glazed walnuts, dried cranberries,sauteed red onion and some blue cheese. Top it all off with some raspberry vinagrette. I can't tell how delish all the flavors are together... you really gotta try for yourself!
We topped off the meal with fresh green beans sauteed with olive oil, pine nuts and garlic and some sun dried tomato polenta! It was a very light and summery fresh meal. Yummo!
Hope you have had a good weekend!

ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of all of you with sunny weather. What's hard to believe is last summer my daughter could barely write a word and now she's reading books and headed into the 1st grade! Everything changes so fast.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks very yummy!! It is a blessing to help teach our grandkids how to write...:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gift from God!
Have a happy 4th of July weekend!
