Cantaloupe is one of my favorite fruits. That might be because it’s known as a “beauty fruit”. No it’s not a beauty to look at, but it’s packed with beta-carotene which makes skin beautiful! And who doesn’t love beautiful skin especially when you get to eat delicious fruit to go along with it!
This recipe for a cool, light summer appetizer doesn’t get much fancier – prosciutto, basil leaves, sticks = fancy. But with your flowing skin you feel fancy so it all works out in the end right?
For the past month or so I’ve been enjoying mini bell peppers in my salads and stir fries. Is it just me or are they crunchier and tastier than regular bell peppers? They sure are more colorful!
You know the old saying, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen?” It’s been a reality around here the last week or so. We’ve had temps reaching over 100 for the past two weeks. Summer arrived with a roar. So, I’ve been conjuring up new recipes to cook on the grill.
Here in South Carolina, we have to deal with the heat and the humidity. It’s like being in a sauna! Humid heat feels much hotter than dry heat. It does a number on my hair, too. Curly hair frizzes and straight hair gets flat and limp.
It’s summer! yayayayay! I’m a summer girl through and through, so now that it’s summer I’m elated. Although, allergies seem to be particularly bad this year, so that’s an uphill battle for me right now. But as soon as those subside, it’s full speed ahead to summertime glee.
These little bites of joy really help with that summertime happiness! There’s something about melon and prosciutto that just makes my taste buds smile. But I decided to take one of my favorite, refreshing appetizers and step it up a notch by adding arugula and honey to the mix.
The heat has definitely turned up in Phoenix. We’ve been experiencing a crazy heat wave, like most of the country, all week with temps above 110 every day. With this crazy hot weather, I’m doing my best to stay hydrated. Sometimes though, I need something a little different than water and I find myself craving special drinks during the summer. So I decided to round up some great summer drinks (alcoholic and non) to try out this summer to beat out the heat!
