Beat the Summer Heat ~ August 2015


Bring on those hot, sultry summer evenings... great for dinners at the beach, sunset ride on a boat or a simple picnic in the backyard.  We did just that... dinner on Jeanne's back porch.  It was an intimate group of four.  A great evening sipping sangria, fine food and great talks with friends.

Jeanne poured nice glasses of red sangria... yum!



When your summer gardens are overflowing with zucchini we are always looking for a new way to serve this vegetable.  Angi brought a sweet corn and zucchini pie.  It had mushrooms and cheese too. A summer tart - really yummy.

Sweet corn and zucchini pie

Jeanne made a fruit salad... fresh, cool and delish.


Denise made ribs with a spicy rub on it.... they were so tender with the right amount of heat.


I brought mini lemon bundt cakes with a blueberry compote... I couldn't get the damn things out of the pan.  I refer to them as 'fugly' cakes... but they did taste pretty good!  Nothing that a little (or a lot!) whipped cream wasn't able to help with.


A great night with sharing thoughts and stories while enjoying a great bite to eat and drink!  
Thank you Jeanne, Angi and Denise for a fun night!
