Salads

Orange, Avocado, and Watermelon Salad

Buy Valium Legally Uk Cool and refreshing to go with my b-b-q ribs!

http://www.wowogallery.com/cowlf8av I was laying in bed this morning thinking about the baby back ribs my husband was going to smoke tonight. I knew they would be delicious because he does the best bar-b-q around. I think my dad taught him well and over the years my husband has put his own spin on smoking/grilling by using all sorts of different woods to get a great smoke flavor to his meats.

So, on with the story. I was trying to come up with a salad that would be cool and refreshing to go along with his hot and spicy ribs. I was thinking about a watermelon that our neighbor, Anne, just gave us and what might go with that to make a delicious salad. Watermelon, orange, maybe some red onions, avocado and some toasted pine nuts. I thought about putting this on a bed of baby spinach for extra color. And, for the dressing, you can’t go wrong with balsamic, maybe a little lime juice and cilantro, shallot, some olive oil and perhaps toss in a little cumin to add a touch of spice to the salad to compliment the ribs.

https://www.prehistoricsoul.com/fiktoxrojp I remember years ago when we would go to Florida for summer vacations, my grandfather would pull over at local farm stands to buy some produce. Whether it be watermelon, oranges, or peaches, he always wanted to taste the fruit before buying it. Of course, we only bought the ripest and most flavorful fruits. Wonder, why we aren’t allowed to taste our produce in the grocery stores? Guess they only sample the things they know are tasty OR we wouldn’t be buying all the hard, tasteless fruits and vegetables we get at certain times of the year.

Grilled Flank Kebabs with Chimichurri Sauce

I love Chimichurri on this flank kebab. The color of the sauce is so vivid and pretty on the plate.

https://fireheartmusic.com/zd8epa1u34 I love flank steak. It’s one of those pieces of meat that a lot of people don’t know what to do with because it can be tough. I have cooked flank steak for years and have found that if you marinade it for a few hours it will be very tender. Flank should always be cut cross-grain and never cooked more than medium to medium-rare.

https://www.chat-quiberon.com/2024/01/18/45c5syzwjr The flank comes from the abdominal muscle of a cow and is a long thin piece of meat. It looks a little like skirt steak that is used in making fajitas. Normally it needs some type of moist cooking method. But I have found just marinating it, grilling for about 30 minutes, produces a juicy, tender steak.

https://modaypadel.com/t58i7przb Over the years I have taken flank steak strips and spread them with a blue cheese spread, rolled it up, skewered it and served as an appetizer. We have had it as an entree marinated in my teriyaki sauce (see below), and I have skewered it with marinated mushrooms for an appetizer. Always cut it very thin and you will never be disappointed in this piece of meat.

Grilled Peach Prosciutto Kebabs

https://www.ngoc.org.uk/uncategorized/future-events/mtj1uwn4 https://gungrove.com/gkrin7ua Fredericksburg peaches — I finally bought some good peaches!

Buy Cheap Carisoprodol Online Peaches, prosciutto, balsamic and honey. Perfect ingredients for a quick summer appetizer.

Seems like I am always late on making it out to pick whatever fruit is in season. I have missed picking blueberries for about four years in a row. I have missed raspberry picking season for years. But, I did manage to get in the blackberry patch this year and picked 12 pounds of berries.

So, when I received an email from a local farmer’s market about ordering Fredericksburg (Texas) peaches, I jumped on it knowing that if I didn’t another season would roll around and I would be complaining about the hard, tasteless peaches I would be buying at the market. I get so upset when I buy peaches at the market and they look beautiful, feel firm and ripe, only to have a mushy, mealy peach with no flavor when I cut into it later. Not so with these Fredericksburg Peaches.

Pepperoni Stuffed Black Olives

https://gungrove.com/jgtfb5gd8 Buy Alprazolam From India Such a simple appetizer that will be a hit at your next party.

https://therepairstore.ca/7zrjkceqe A couple of years ago I catered an “Old Hollywood” theme birthday party. It was such a fun party. It was a surprise party for the hostesses’ 40th birthday. Her husband had a limo pick her and their kids up for dinner. When they returned to the house, there was a red carpet runner laid out on the walkway to the front door. All the people were dressed like their favorite movie star (there were a lot of Audrey Hepburns) for the night and they greeted the birthday girl at the door with applause. I made a copy of all these old Hollywood star pictures, matted them and used them on the tables around all the food trays. (See more pictures from party table below.)

https://www.prehistoricsoul.com/yusyu9sn There were movie popcorn boxes on one table, two chocolate fountains going in the kitchen, food covering the table, and champagne everywhere. I loved catering this party. Everyone had a great time and the table looked great and the food terrific.

I have been doing this appetizer for years. I usually buy jumbo pitted black olives, roll up pepperoni and insert in olive, and stuff with a cream cheese mixture and then just stack up on a tray and watch them disappear. I used to cut a thin strip of green bell pepper and insert into the cream cheese, but after doing 200 of these for a party once, I decided to quit doing the pepper garnish. It was way too tedious to cut and insert these strips of pepper into the olives and they are just as good without it.

Tuscan Bread Salad (Panzanella)

https://manabernardes.com/2024/5lsj9azffzv Have any left over bread and vine ripen tomatoes?

Buy Soma Us To Us Panzanella is a tomato bread salad that is made with left over crusty bread and the freshest tomatoes and basil you can put your hands on. You can also use that leftover bread to make tomato bread soup. If you find yourself at a farmer’s market, pick up some extra tomatoes to make this salad.

Buy Valium Mexico When we were Italy several years ago we ate this salad and also made a wonderful tomato bread soup in a cooking class we took one day at the villa where we stayed. I hope to make the soup in the fall and will share that recipe with you.

https://serenityspaonline.com/eupf8rzwn Now in our house, if I were to make Italian bread or any kind of homemade bread, there would not be any left over the next day to make either of these dishes and certainly not even enough to feed to the birds. When my kids were younger that was their favorite part of the meal was homemade bread, cornbread, biscuits, and muffins. Growing up we always had homemade biscuits and cornbread. I never attempted to make Italian Bread or French bread until after I got married. I love making bread. There’s just something about getting flour all over the place and myself.

Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

https://therepairstore.ca/cau9twe Who doesn’t like peanut butter, strawberries and chocolate!

Almost everyone has enjoyed chocolate covered strawberries, BUT have you had peanut butter filled, chocolate dipped strawberries?

https://mmopage.com/news/obdjn98jar I first had these at little berries at a tea room in Plains, Georgia. We were at one of Magnolia and Ivy’s tea rooms having an Alice In Wonderland tea party and along with all the other delectable goodies, these strawberries were the hit of the dessert tray.

Buy Diazepam Uk Cheapest I’ve done chocolate covered strawberries for years. I have also filled them with a lemon curd filling (stand them up on their bottoms, no chocolate) and also filled them with a chocolate mousse and dipped the edges in coconut. All these are delicious, but the peanut butter filled ones are my favorite.

https://www.prehistoricsoul.com/2h9sevp Try these for your next party, shower, lady’s luncheon or just because. I know you will enjoy them. You may want to let your guests know that they have peanut butter inside just in case anyone is allergic to peanut butter.

The Tortoise and The Hare

Buy Valium Diazepam Online Slow but steady did not win their race this day!

Buy Generic Valium Uk We all have heard the story about the tortoise and the hare and how the turtle was slow but steady and won the race. Neither one was very lucky the day my dad caught this turtle and rabbit.

https://sieterevueltas.net/wghakad2y3 While visiting my sister a couple of weeks ago, she found a couple of bags of turtle in the freezer that she had gotten from our dad’s last year. So, we decided to have fried turtle. If you didn’t know it already, turtle has 7 kinds of meat. These are the seven types that I came up with from researching turtle meat — turkey, fish, poultry, veal, pork, duck, mutton. After thawing the turtle she found that my dad had frozen a rabbit in with the turtle. Maybe that was my dad’s way of giving us one last laugh when we thought about him catching turtles on his fishing lines he put out everyday.

Blackberry Spinach Salad

Buy Soma Carisoprodol I went blackberry picking a few weeks ago and found all of these wonderful plump blackberries.

I love picking berries whether it’s blueberries or blackberries. When my kids where younger I used to take them to pick strawberries. All I remember about those outings is they seemed to stomp on more berries than they actually helped to pick or they were chasing each other around the berry patch.

When we moved to Texas we had berry patches all over the place where we could go pick. But, the one problem was the heat. I remember being able to talk at least one of the kids at a time to go picking for at least 2 hours. After that, they were done and never returned to the berry patch. So now that their berry picking days are behind them, I have to talk a friend into picking with me.

I picked 11 lbs. of blackberries the day we went to this local field and now I’m ready to go pick some blueberries.

Dessert/ Ice Cream

Caramel Nut Ice Cream Dessert

https://equinlab.com/2024/01/18/ndskzziy9 I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

I didn’t realize this was a lyric from a song, but who doesn’t scream on a hot summer day, “I WANT ICE CREAM”!

I have had this recipe since the 70’s and it is so quick and easy. Who doesn’t want desserts that are quick and easy to throw together when company’s coming. I’ve made this with regular ice cream and this time, I made it with a Light Blue Bell Vanilla. This recipe has everything that most people like -crunchy texture, vanilla ice cream, caramel and nuts.

Every time I hear an ice cream truck I think of living in Kansas City. There was a little girl in our neighborhood that would go screaming all the way home “ice cream man”…… if she heard or saw the ice cream truck in our neighborhood. She’s all grown up now and I would imagine she still loves ice cream and I’m sure she still remembers the ice cream man from our neighborhood.

We are already up in the 90’s in our part of Texas and this will be in my freezer so on a hot summer’s night, we can pull it out and have a bite of cool, refreshing dessert. I think you will agree with me after you try this that it’s delicious.

Zucchini Corn Boats

https://www.chat-quiberon.com/2024/01/18/9k8hmegf3 How about putting some of that summer produce to use with these Zucchini Corn Boats.

This is a delicious recipe using zucchini and corn that you may pick up at your local farmer’s market this summer.

I love going to farmer’s markets in the summer and getting all kinds of wonderful locally grown produce. I purchased some corn and zucchini recently and just love making these little boats. I have made this often and think they are so cute.

If you don’t want to fool with trying to make the boats then I have put all the mixture in an oval casserole and put some corn husk at each end and pile in the corn/zucchini mixture. Looks like a big corn cob. Then you can just sprinkle all the chips and cheese mixture on top and bake in the oven or out on your outdoor grill. This is a great accompaniment to your summer bar-b-q.

Quick and Easy Banana Pudding

These cute little jelly jars make the perfect containers for this rich banana pudding.

My grandmother always made the best homemade banana pudding and she still could if she wanted to. She just turned 97 in May and is still occasionally cooking up things in her kitchen. Her banana pudding was always from scratch. She would get out all her ingredients, slice her bananas and make a rich, sweet, homemade custard to layer between the bananas and vanilla wafers and then top it with a fluffy meringue and brown it just the right amount in the oven. We could hardly wait for it to be chilled so we could dig into a big bowl of the pudding.

Smoked Salmon Chip

Ok, so smoked salmon on a potato chip — who would have imagined a quick little appetizer!

I had these little apps at a friends house a couple of years ago. It’s such a weird idea to me to put something like smoked salmon on a potato chip. I used smoked salmon in other things that I garnish with caviar, boiled chopped eggs, red onion and capers but NEVER potato chips.

On an afternoon’s sailing trip that my daughter, Alexis and I and my twin sister and her son took in Charleston last Labor day I packed this appetizer in a small softsided cooler that I put in my suitcase because I knew we would take this out on the boat. After shopping at a local gourmet grocery, Caviar & Bananas for some cheeses, pates, sausages, breads, and wines, which they delivered to our boat, our smoked salmon on potato chips joined this array of scrumptious food for the day’s outing.

We had rented this 49 foot sail boat just for the four of us and we actually had a stewardess who waited on us. We didn’t expect to be waited on but after all the food was delivered to the boat, she organized everything and after we set sail (hey, sounds like sailor talk, huh), she came up (two bedrooms and two baths plus full kitchen below) to see what we wanted to drink and then she started arranging small plates of food to bring up for us to eat. This was a fantastic lunch and she prepared the little chip and salmon thing for us and it was a perfect accompaniment to all the other goodies along with champagne and wine. We offered to share with them but, of course, they refused, but did say they would be glad to enjoy anything leftover after the trip.

This is the perfect little appetizer that you can have in your refrigerator ready for any drop in company this summer. You can also use the cream cheese with chives spread that comes already made instead of making the cheese mixture from scratch. Kettle chips or some type of thick chip works best, although I have used Pringle chips.

These are so quick to throw together and I love my little trays I picked up at Hobby Lobby.

These lasted about a couple of minutes once I put them out.

Smoked Salmon Chip

Ingredients

1/4 c. parsley
3 oz. cream cheese
1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 tsp. lemon juice
salt and pepper
36 whole potato chips
4 oz. smoked salmon

Instructions

Process the parsley in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Add the cream cheese, lemon zest, juice and pinch of salt and pepper. Process until pale green and smooth. Scrape the cream cheese into a zip lock bag. Squeeze it down to one of the bottom corners of the bag and snip 1/4" off the corner of the bag. Top each chip with 1-2 pieces of salmon, pipe on a dollop of the cream cheese, garnish with small parsley leaf.
**Note. I put the cream cheese mixture on the cracker first and then topped with the salmon and then a parsley leaf. You can do it however you want. Also, I used Kettle Chips because they are a thicker chip. I have used Pringles before but they are pretty fragile.
