Steamy photo taken at 6AM. Summer is steamy as can be here in Charleston, SC – but also areas that aren’t typically steamy. So much heat and humidity spreading across the country. What do you do to beat the heat? One thought, whip up an Orange Julius…

I love the recipes from the New York Times (NYT) Cooking site! I’ve run across some amazing recipes – and I always read the comments – they’re full of helpful substitutions, ideas, etc. It’s a hot summer day here in Charleston, SC – so I whipped up this gazpacho which was a welcome dinner – I had to forgo anything warm. I served it with homemade sourdough bread and brie. #wow

Avocado toast can have such an exquisite taste and luxurious feel on the palate. Done right it can be silky, creamy and heavenly. Avocados are a healthy fat (which keeps you full longer) and are just plain delicious! I have a hint on how to keep your ripe avocados staying fresh for longer… #gamechanger

The weather is beginning to heat up in Charleston, SC – which makes the perfect weather for enjoying a nice smoothie. We’ve visited a few areas and have tasted their green smoothies which were surprisingly good, so… This is a change from our favorite banana smoothies that we love so much (and have drank for years). Now we’re on a new kick and loving it!

I last made these lemon squares back in 1999. Yes, the year I was born! I remember them because they were so ama-zing. I made them for a small dinner party and we ate them all. I’ve been thinking about these lately and wondered if they would still be good to me. Oh, WOW! Less butter and sugar than other recipes yet divine as can be. You’ll want to make this recipe! #perfectforsummer

Do you make sourdough bread? If so, you’re familiar with the term ‘discard’ – the amount that you take out when you feed your start. You hate to throw away the start, but you really only want so many pancakes, etc. Well, let me solve the dilemma of what to do with your extra start (discard) – because once you have these cheese crackers there is NO GOING BACK. So read at your own risk!

Asparagus is out of the world right now – we’ve been eating it all year long, but right now.. #PERFECTION Time to make another veggie pasta. You can mix the veggies up daily and it’s always so different. I’ve been making our asparagus pasta recipe for a few years now and after having some leftover mushrooms (all but two mushrooms in a package) it was time to change things up – plus I added another veg that took this over the top. This was delicious and QUICK!

Wow! This is so much better than it sounds, trust me! We used to get a tuna melt at a restaurant (they stopped carrying it) – it came with slaw that had a sesame taste to it… it was delicious, and it was HUGE, we would usually split it along with a salad. We have been eating at home since early March because of Covid19. We did pick up some carryout for my birthday last week and it was fabulous. I’m trying to think of things to make that are different – I can get stuck in a rut recipe-wise. THIS IS AMAZING!

I love this time of year, when there is a chill (vs. humidity) in the air. I also love to make soup – a nice pot that can be heated up when the mood strikes. This bean soup is amazing – I’m not big on the super hammy flavor of the ham bone, you won’t miss it, I promise!
