How is your summer going? How is your garden growing? Have you been asked to leave any establishments? Have you, like me, started to really enjoy that Airplanes Like Shooting Stars song, so much so that the lump in your throat is no longer a joke but a real one, you stop doing fake SYTYCD moves to it and begin hoping that TABITH-ERandNAPOLEON choreograph something real involving Twitch to it, and you have to change the station or leave the room? Good. Tell me all about it.
I've got some stuff to share, including my forays into ice cream. Another entry for FULL, more Summer Round Ups. But to assuage guilt, here are some of my favorite summer-friendly recipes I've shared over the years, as well as some recipes other people are tempting me with. Let me know if you've got something that has changed your life. And stay hydrated.
Also, forgive the formatting that follows. Or think of it as rustic. Jaunty. I'll fix it as soon as possible.
Blame Me:
Brown Rice Salad, Sugar Cookies, Roasted Green Salsa
Buttermilk Biscuits, Beans with Tomatoes and Lemon-Dill Vinaigrette, Ultimate Brownies
Baked Macaroni and Cheese, Chocolate Cupcakes with Raspberry Cream Cheese Icing, Stuffed Artichoke Bread
Blame Them:

Whipped's Giant Gingersnaps, Heart of Light's Granola Bars

i'm blaming those shrimp scampi pizza breads on my 5 lb weight gain this summer. Yes- all that pizza. So worth it though! Love your little roundup! xo

New post!
The tomatoes are starting to come in. I'm glad they worked out because the lettuce did not. I think next year I'll really try to get a table for them.
BoB like the song, I saw him once on carson daly in the middle in the night months ago so it's cool to see he's actually making it. Not into SYTYCD this year and I usually love it but I usually just watch now to see who's going home.
These recipes look tasty but I'm trying to lighten up this summer the rice salad and tomato salad might work though!
I did make a "light" blueberry cobbler over the weekend from the cooks illustrated. No weird ingredients and it was really good.
