Summer is my favorite time of year for eating! There are so many fresh fruits and vegetables available. I believe I was over eager when shopping last week. I bought strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, fresh pineapple, nectarines, grapes, bananas, romain lettuce, carrots, fresh green beans, sweet corn. My refrigerator is bulging. I've begun enjoying the cucumbers and tomatoes (red and yellow, large and cherries) from our garden. Green peppers will be ready soon. Herbs are readying for harvest, fresh dill, rosemary, Italian parsley, thyme, oregano and fragrant lavendar, my favorite scent. I love that this opens up so many different meal ideas and healthier choices. Here comes the rain I've been hoping for to water my flowers and garden and our poor parched yard. Nothing like a fresh summertime rain.
We are firing up the grill tonight (once the rain stops) to grill some chicken and prepare a fresh salad for a grilled chicken salad, grill the sweet corn, grill some fresh bread with butter and garlic, then finish the meal with a fresh fruit salad. If you're not hungry after reading this...you surely will be soon.
May you all enjoy the bountiful food that summer brings!
