summer

This is an all-star of a recipe and one of my absolute favorites, especially in the summer months. It highlights the best of the summer garden- fresh cherry tomatoes & fragrant basil.

To make the perfect summer side dish toss corn and grape tomatoes with an easy apple cider vinaigrette and finish with lots of fresh basil.

These crab cakes are loaded with fresh, delicious, crab meat and seasoned to perfection. The are baked, not fried, and can be made several hours in advance.

Fresh herbs are tossed with warm potatoes, champagne vinegar and white wine to come together for a fabulous summer side dish.

This recipe is delicious, can be made in advance, and sure beats any fruit salad from a store! It is perfect for a Sunday brunch or as a light, refreshing, summer dessert.

Nothing quite compares to picking fresh zucchini flowers off the vine, dredging them in flour, frying them and sprinkling with sea salt. It's a little taste of Italian heaven and one of my all time favorite treats.
