Thank You Gwyneth!

I bought Gwyneth Paltrow's new cookbook and it is great!  I probably have about 60 books and mostly use them for inspiration and ideas but last night I cooked from it.  She calls it a hot nicoise salad...I don't think the name does the dish justice.  

Green bean-from Earth Fare

Tomatoes- from my garden and Earth Fare

Tossed in Olive Oil-

Tomatoes

Roasted Red Peppers-from Earth Fare (I roasted)

Sardines- from Earth Fare

Tuna Steaks-Blue Ridge Seafood

Arugula and Spinach- farmers market

Cooked @ 400 for 12 minutes (med. rare) = yum!

Smoked mozzarella on baguettes.

Saturday Farmer's Market

This is one of the best summer salads around (toot toot); very light and refreshing.  All ingredients are from my garden, the farmers market or Earth Fare.  We often serve this over fish or chicken-and sometimes I make it without the black beans. 

cilantro-my garden!

corn, garlic-farmers market

onion, beans, pepper, mango, avocado- Earth Fare

(season with salt)

A little catch up

I have not blogged for quite a few weeks...but I have been taking pictures.    Here are a few things I have made in the last few weeks.
