Hot, sticky summer days are here – perfect days to think about NOT heating up the house and about eating light & healthy. And when light and healthy means cool and delicious, too, like this Pesto Pasta Salad, that’s a winner.
Fruited Chicken Salad with Honey Dijon
Way back when my sister and I were discussing what should be on the menu for a family get together. We got down to the salad dressing. “Honey Dijon?” I asked. It was kind of a new thing then. “No one likes that,” she said, flatly. But I didn’t say, “I do, I do!” And goodness help me, I do. Home-made at least, and especially on this Fruited Chicken Salad with Honey Dijon. Don’t tell my sis!
Jacques Torres’ Chocolate Mudslide Cookies
It might seem like my blog has a lot to do with baking, lately. I’ve been updating all of my Dessert Menus; organizing them properly and that means posting the results. So if you’re tired of multiple posts on Desserts, thanks for bearing with me. So I thought I’d reward you with a cookie, but not just any cookie. It’s a “Must Make.” These are Jacques Torres’ Chocolate Mudslide Cookies.
Asian Turkey (or chicken) Lettuce Wraps
I don’t know if I can think of a better beat the heat, quickie dinner for a hot, muggy summer day than these Asian Turkey (or Chicken) Lettuce Wraps.
