sarahmichiganSummer is such a great time for cooking from scratch. I'm doing a better job with incorporating a variety of fruit into our diets than I am with veggies, but I'm planning to hit some farm markets soon and remedy that. Recently, some of the dishes or meals I've made have included:
-Another nectarine/mixed berry oatmeal crisp
-Tuna sandwiches & fresh corn on the cob (with butter and black pepper)
-Sweet potatoes microwaved with butter and jerk seasoning
-Lots of green salads and fruit salads
-3-cheese Macaroni and cheese with broccoli
-Black bean enchiladas
-Omelets with chives and fresh dill picked from our yard
That fruit and oatmeal crisp recipe is fairly new to me, but seems to be a keeper. Next, I'd like to find some new-to-me recipes that require little heating, since it's hard muster up the energy to use the stove or oven when it's in the upper 80s or 90s outside.
Our July 4 mini-picnic with a friend was divine. I made tuna salad finger sandwiches and a fruit salad of peaches and strawberries, and put out a green salad and a snack mix. Our guest brought a cold Thai peanut-noodle salad, blue corn chips and a 7-layer dip, and praline pecans for dessert. Yum, yum, yum!
