OK, so this summer has been INSANE. A good insane, but insane nonetheless. We've had such good times with family and friends and those good times included some amazing food (and maybe just a little wine...)
Unfortunately, I didn't have the ambition at the end of the day to document those meals. I'll just tell you, they were good.
Things have slowed down a little in the last week or so and I've been able to make a couple of meals for my family. One of them was some grilled mahi mahi which was tasty but nothing super special; heat the grill, stick some fish, olive oil, thyme, lemon, salt and pepper in some tin foil and cook for 10 min or so. Pretty easy. I made this pretty little salad to go with it
Its sort a caprese salad, but instead of fresh mozzarella I used avocados, and instead of basil I used thyme. Oh yea, there's a balsamic dressing over it too.
Also one night I wanted pizza, but you know, pizza is BAD for you or something...So I made it anyways, but instead of a normal crust I used tortillas. This was SO easy. And not at all ground breaking, but it was yummy.
Just pile on your normal pizza toppings and pop it into a 400 degree oven until it turns pretty (which means melted, browned mozzarella).
The last thing I remembered to take a picture of was an amazing strawberry shortcake.
I got the recipe out of a Magnolia Bakery cookbook. I thought about sharing the recipe with you, but I'm going to force you to do yourself a favor and buy the cookbook. Its my dessert bible. I love it and I'll be eternally grateful to my Mother-in-law for buying it for me.
So I'll try not to disappear again anytime soon. Tonight I'm making scallops like I saw my sister-in-law make this summer. I'm excited!
