This was a wonderful lunch for my Hubby and I while we played Chinese checkers…(which is really a German game…)?! Since zucchini are pouring out of my garden, making them new and delicious is a must. I didn’t want to make the same old fried or spaghetti zucchini and since I love all things smoked I decided to make the whole dish a smoky flavored dish…Success!!! Don’t you love when that happens???

Born out of my love for lemons and Champagne, this cocktail is the gift that keeps giving…so lemony good and refreshing! I just love making these around the pool with my friends. While the Italian ice keeps the cocktail cold it also allows you to continue adding champagne with continued lemony goodness! Continue reading

Also to add to the simple excellence, I cut some square wontons in half and give them a super quick fry in some olive oil…Today Heaven!!!! Continue reading
This was the perfect breakfast to surprise my Hubby with this morning. It’s an easy and impressive way to serve a treat to the ones you love.

Instead of making one big one which is the norm, I made 4 individual ones in my 6″ little cast iron skillets. Drizzle with the curd butter, top with powdered sugar and put a little fruit compote on the side! Continue reading
If you have a Wegmans in your area you’ve seen a version of this salad before. I’m not a fan of store bought dressings, I love to make my own. When recipes call for a brand of dressing I go off the grid. I also believe that every recipe can be made even better. Well, I took the idea of blueberries and cucumbers from a picture and made it my own! It was a huge hit with my family and a real winner in my book! Great for the 4th of July, great for summer, great for parties and great for you! Continue reading
