It seems I've been so busy enjoying summer that I forgot to write anything about it. I have been taking in some delicious made-at-home meals lately though, so I thought I'd share a few of the colorful photos. That's one of my favorite things about food in the summer...it always seems to be so much more colorful :)

First up: sloppy joes with sweet potato fries and baked beans (I'm not a baked beans fan, but my friend made this delicious feast, so I gulped down a few bites just to prove I could). The sloppy joes were made of a zingy ketchup/mustard sauce and topped with mixed cheeses and peppers. |
|
I absolutely love fresh salsa in the summer. This one made by a friend. |
|
Here we have this linguini with bleu cheese and sunflower seeds recipe from the National Sunflower Association and roasted vegetables. I also added chicken to the linguini. |
|
And here is another salsa variety (this time made by me). |
|
This is a colorful stuffed and roasted pepper made by my friend (who seems to be a surprising chef in the making). |
|
And then we have the little mini caprese toasts (garlic toasts, topped with fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar). |
|
And finally, the most recent dinner: grilled seasoned chicken breast, sauteed cucumber and portabella mushrooms with slices of dill Havarti cheese and fresh strawberries. |
Aww, summer. And all its fresh food splendors.
Brownie is right. For pete's sake woman, invest in a REAL camera!
ReplyDeleteDitto. This food probably looks delicious. But in these photos, looks like something for Soylent Green.
ReplyDeleteOh, hey now. Brownie doesn't have a nice camera either. And, plus, who wants to lug a camera around with them everywhere? iPhone on the other hand...wouldn't leave home without it. I'll try to do better for you though, my darling, photo elite friends.
