Chipotle Shrimp Tostadas With Simple Pico De Gallo
There’s a darling Mexican cantina on Pewaukee Lake called Seester’s. It’s a cute little spot with sidewalk dining, just across the street from the public beach. The nice people at Seester’s keep big bowls of fresh water on the sidewalk for all the thirsty dogs that pass by – their owners clutch dripping ice cream cones in one hand and leashes in the other.

Chilled Avocado Soup with Fresh Ginger & Lime Crema
When I was in college I had a reputation. Not THAT kind of reputation, silly — I was known for my lipstick habit. Because very, very rarely was I ever spotted around campus without a bright-pink pucker.
(Well, once on spring break in Daytona Beach, I forgot to put it on. But I had mono and I was staying in a roach motel and I was really, really unwell.)
But nevermind that. I LOVED the day-glo pinks and fuschias of the 80’s. A roommate of mine once said, “Ah’ sway-uh, Leah, do yew keep yo-wah lipstick on yo-wah naht-stay-und?”
I went to college in South Carolina. Did you catch the accent?

Cherry Granita
If you’re looking for a refreshing treat for the Holiday weekend, it’s your lucky day. And if you want it to be simple, easy, and fun to make at the same time, I’ve also got you covered!
But if you want it to be neat, tidy, and mess-free to assemble (jeepers, demanding much?) –- well, I make no promises. Not to dissuade you from whipping up this delicious dessert, but my hands and white t-shirt are now stained a vivid purple.

Grilled Herb Shrimp
Surely by now you’ve planted that herb garden we discussed a couple of weeks back. If you haven’t already planted a few pots — don’t delay, act now! You still have time! Trust me, you need fresh herbs in your life. I’ll be using them A LOT in my summertime posts – because fresh herbs make everything taste extra fabulous!

Grilled Swordfish with Tomatoes & Capers
The last time I had this dish was at a friend’s house, about seven years ago. Seven years later I still can’t get it out of my head, and I’m surprised that I haven’t ever bothered to make it myself.

The Way to a Father’s Heart…
……is through fiscal responsibility. This week’s sale ad features ribeye steaks, crab legs, and jumbo prawns. Delightful. Delicious. Delovely, for sure. But even at their sale price, they’re some pricey menu items. The father of my children would not appreciate a meal of such extravagance at this particular moment in time, I can guarantee you that right now……oh yes, I certainly can.

Bacon Wrapped Scallops
It’s Thursday and I’m dog tired, man. Beat. Bushed. Bleary-eyed and world-weary.
I’m looking forward to Friday night and possibly hanging out with our neighbor friends on the patio or around a roaring bonfire…I’m secretly hoping that someone out there in the cul-de-sac will read this today, do the neighborly thing, and invite us over for conversation and good cheer.

Sloppy Jose’s
Seven super-short school days to go before summer vacation begins, and the countdown is on! Is it just me, or does it seem like there’s a LOT to cram in before next Wednesday arrives?! We’ve gotta get our kids through field day, picnics and class trips; help ‘em wrap up last minute projects and study for final exams; attend music programs, graduations, dances, and carpool to a seemingly endless string of parties…the list goes on and on. You probably have a few fabulous functions of your own that I haven’t mentioned. Go ahead and pile ‘em on. We’re moms. We can deal.

Cedar Planked Salmon with Apricot & Jalapeno Glaze
I had an adventure yesterday afternoon. I’ll admit that I was a little jittery and nervous to start with, but it turned out to be a fun little thrill and I can’t wait to try it again sometime soon! It’s exciting to dabble in risky behavior, right? Face your fears head on? Step out of your comfort zone and learn something new?
