Summer has arrived and the warm temperatures are here to stay.....
I love reading and sharing ideas on how we can eat a bit lighter
during summer, yet serve our family a great tasting and
eye catching lunch....

Summer is all about having fun in the sun and
enjoying life to the fullest.....
add a touch of whimsy to create the mood.....

All summer foods must contain those sweet and beautiful
fresh from the Farmer's Market tomatoes....
I remember my Daddy used to sprinkle sugar on his tomatoes....

And oh my gosh, if y'all haven't tried fresh avocado on top
of cottage cheese,,,you simply must...it's just divine....
serve on a toasted whole grain bread, a toasted baguette or even
your favorite cocktail crackers...so, so good!
And adding a slice of hard boiled egg creates the perfect bite...

I would say life is pretty darn good at the moment.....
I agree... life is good. And, that food looked better than good!! Good thing I was eating when I read your post or I would have died of hunger!! Just saying.
ReplyDeleteOf course your menu looks delicious and also very healthy - perfect mix of the food groups--but your photography takes it to another level. Were you ever a professional photographer or food stylist?
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind Eileen, no I have never been a professional photographer or food stylist but how lovely that you thought so....what a magnificent compliment....just love photography as a hobby of sorts and have a passion for cooking.....thank you so very much!
