About

Summer  is here to stay for a while and the abundance of fresh vegetables is here as well. Tonight the only meal that sounded good was salad.  Yes, but not your conventional salad, a salad with a twist.
My mom just sent me from her beautiful garden some exquisite vine ripe tomatoes.  She sent me and assortment of sized and shapes . The cute small cherry tomatoes  have patiently been waiting for us to eat them since they have arrived.
Freezer door open and I pulled out some wonderful shrimps from Pete at Personal Gourmet.  We also have some avocados that are perfect to be enjoyed and our summer salad was created in a flash.
Easy dinner with little time in the kitchen is perfect ending to a wonderful day.
