GRACIOUSLY LIGHT for LADIES who LUNCH

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.....

This little healthy luncheon is ideal for the ladies in your life,
but I have to make this appetizing for the darling too......and
he actually said this may be his new favorite.....

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...

Who can possibly resist those summer sweet cherries?

And, I  saved the best for last....
a homemade apple crisp.....

Add a little scoop of vanilla.....

I would say life is pretty darn good at the moment.....
