The First Day of Summer

June 21, 2015

I’m really getting exited about this blog. To introduce The Recipe Page, I’ve decided on a “summer meal”.  When  I was a child and it was too warm outside and  even  warmer inside( no air conditioning), for my mother putting on the oven was not an option. Speaking of “warm”,  at some point we’re going to need to talk about GLOBAL WARMING. Now back to my mother’s “summer meals”. The exceptions would be an ear of corn  or meat on the grille during the week, but it would be full throttle on Sundays: Always two meats. Usually, beef, ham or lamb and something else- chicken, fish (fish has always been a favorite in my home.) Holidays in our house were festive: with family, great food, laughter…..great memories. Okay, enough of that! Back to Today’s Summer Meal. Halt, wait a minute! You will not believe what just happened! I’m ready to start writing about Today’s Summer Meal when I get a call asking me to make some fresh fruit salad for tomorrow. So, I made it. The call to duty caused me to put the cart before the horse because the actual meal consists of Chicken Salad, Fresh Fruit Salad and some yogurt on the side.

Top if off with a nice glass of freshly brewed lemon iced tea, and there you have it! So, my next Recipe Post will feature the entire meal including the chicken salad. Enjoy, Nel

Fresh fruit salad consists of honeydew melon, cantaloupe, pineapple and blueberries. Blackberries, raspberries and kiwis are an added delight but need to be added in when serving. Watermelon and Bananas and strawberries can be added then as well.

 

Zucchini Chips

Just though I would slip this in for fun. They’re Delicious !

Not only is it healthy, it’s dirt cheap too! Cut a zucchini into thin slices and toss in 1 Tbsp olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with paprika and bake at 450°F for 25 to 30 minutes. Using paprika not only to flavor this healthy snack, but also to boost your metabolism, reduce your appetite, and lower your blood pressure.
