🌿 Sunday on Great Island

Published 1 day ago • 2 min read

Hey friends❣️

Happy Sunday!

Well. What a week. Insane heat. Smokey air. And scary produce. I'm actually looking forward to Monday!

I've blacklisted lettuce for now, which is overkill, I'm sure, but it has opened up some fresh new dinner ideas for mid July.

But first ~ if you didn't see yesterday's Spiced Peach Cobbler Bars, run, don't walk. I just had a leftover bar for breakfast and I can't rave enough.

Likewise my new Lemon Herb Macaroni Salad. Really good stuff. And if you're a cherry lover my new Cherry Almond Skillet Cake is a must. I was on a roll this week!

July dinners that aren't salad...

If you've ever lived on the Eastern seacoast you know that chowder is a summer tradition. I love it, my family loves it, and it's surprisingly quick to make, so it's a regular throughout the season. The classic, above, is made with any firm white fish, but I love making chowder with salmon and also smoked salmon. I make it vegetarian too:

Here are a few more ideas (clock wise from top left)

My favorite chowder pot sits out on my stove, I never put it away. Mine is white, but I love all the colors it comes in.

My recipes are bold and vibrant, but always approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun.

It might be the best thing to happen to macaroni salad this century.

Hey friends❣️ There’s something about macaroni salad that’s more than the sum of its parts. The chewy little elbow noodles, the tangy mayo dressing, the crunchy bits of celery ~ it makes my mouth water, and I’m not even sure exactly why. There’s no mystery with my new version, though. The lemon and herbs make everything I love about macaroni salad even more irresistible.

Let's do Thai tonight! 🌿

Hey friends❣️ It's that sticky time of year that cries out for Thai food. I've lived in very hot places, and very cold places, and I have to say it's the heat that's harder to deal with. During a long hot spell like this I always turn to my Thai recipe collection for relief. The flavors are refreshing and bold, with lots of acidity and fresh herbs~ from classic tom kha soup and Thai salad to a fun Americanized Thai spaghetti salad and lots more. Let's definitely do Thai tonight! Thai Inspired...
