Sesame Crusted Tuna with Wasabi Ponzu Sauce
| 
I hope I’m not the only one who feels like summer has done a number on her diet. As much as I hate to see the beginning of a new school year, I do welcome a fresh routine and the chance to get back to somewhat normal eating restraints. For me this means and end to sneaking fries and popcorn chicken off my kid’s plates at the pool, and fewer s’mores washed down with beers around the bonfire. It was all sooooo good going down, wasn’t it?! Read the rest of this entry »
Risotto with Corn, Tomatoes, and Basil
| 
When I think of the perfect dish for a warm August evening, it would absolutely include the following ingredients: corn, tomatoes, and basil. Hence, today’s dish. This risotto is all about summer flavors and would be the perfect accompaniment to any grilled main course – I’m thinking my favorite herbed grilled shrimp, or seared salmon fillets, or even a big, thick steak.

Oven Dried Tomato Tart with Goat Cheese and Olives
| 
Every summer I go on a quest to find the perfect tomato tart or tomato pie recipe. Last year I made two epic failures, neither of which you read about here. Both contained copius amounts of shredded cheddar cheese and heaps of full fat mayonnaise – which, duh – I should have been able to tell by simply reading through the recipes that they wouldn’t be good (and that’s coming from someone who’s a self-confessed mayo fan). But that’s definitely not the case with today’s recipe – and there’s not a lick of mayo in sight. Read the rest of this entry »

Low Country Boil
| 
I’m bringing up this recipe today because it is one of my favorite summertime meals, and I want you all to have access to it be we run out of summer. I make it for the DamFam, party of five - but I’ve also served it for dinner parties of up to 10 or so folks. One of my college roomies served it to a crowd of 50 people at her rehearsal dinner. I absolutely love Low Country Boil. It’s the quintessential southern meal! Read the rest of this entry »

Grilled Zucchini Caprese Sandwiches
| 
Okay, okay – I know this isn’t the best photo I’ve ever taken. But I sincerely hope it conveys to you the overall feeling that this sandwich is trying to express — which is that of a gooey, casual, and somewhat rustic concoction on toasted French peasant bread. Yum. It won’t win any beauty contests, but I just ate the photo shoot and it. was. DELISH! Read the rest of this entry »

Summer Sandwich Challenge, Round 3: my favorite one yet! There are so many things I love about this sandwich, I hardly know where to start. I didn’t think it would be possible to beat my usual steak sandwich — this one comes pretty close though. I’m gonna call a tie. Read the rest of this entry »

Caesar Salad Bagels
| 
The heatwave continues, and so does my lack of interest in standing anywhere near my stove. The only thing I AM really interested in today is to go to the pool and stand in the water up to my neck. Hopefully, a cute cabana boy will be waiting poolside to deliver me iced tea with a lemon and a Splenda and a bendy straw. Ideally, he’ll offer to apply sunscreen to my shoulders and back - I’ll decline. I’m married and all. Finally, he’ll be waiting with a fresh towel when I decide to hit the ol’ chaise lounge to read my trashy romance novel or maybe take a snooze in the shade. Read the rest of this entry »

Herbed Chicken Salad Sandwiches
| 
Cooking Light has a great piece on summer sandwiches in the August issue. I want to try all of them. In fact … you know that movie, Julie & Julia? Where the food blogger makes and blogs about each of the 524 recipes in Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking? Well, I’m gonna make all those sandwich recipes. That’s right, all five of them! Here’s the first. Read the rest of this entry »
