summer ushers in the season for delicious salads, vegetables & grilled meats
bountiful summer salad
Most of my meals are not complete unless there is a large bowl of salad.
have to have a Hugo spritz
Move over Aperol spritz, here comes the Hugo. My Italian friends have moved onto this drink because it is just plain cool.
Wild flower centerpieces
Bring nature indoors with a massive display of wild flowers-whether you have access to some summer wild flowers in a garden or walk in the countryside, or find a variety at your local farmer’s market.
deliciously good flank steak with cocoa rub
An easy seasoning made of cocoa, coffee and a bit of cayenne pepper for flank steak or any type of beef. Delicious!
desserts of fresh berries to topple onto a cake, ice cream or meringues
luscious lemon olive oil ice cream
Lemon ice cream…it does not curdle, and it does not disappoint.
meringues with fresh cream and seasonal fruit
Meringues are always a crowd pleaser for adults and children alike. Meringues can be made with relative ease though many people feel they are complex
the best ever key lime pie
Ahhhh….key lime pie is creamy and tart and creamy and delicious, and the recipe is a real showstopper. Making the pie could not be more simple, and the cookie crust creates a delicious crunch. The accolades you’ll receive from anyone taking a bite is almost embarrassing. Pure heaven!
