Southwestern Steak Salad



This evening I made this really great salad. I don't even know where to begin in describing it. Everything about it was delicious!

Blueberry crumble


It is blueberry season and one of my favorite ways to use them is in a simple crumble.

Salad with Raspberries and Cucumbers




This time of year we eat a lot of salads around here. And since we started receiving our weekly CSA, even more so. There are always a lot of salad greens in the box along with new and unfamiliar veggies. This is our first year taking part of a CSA (community-supported Agriculture, see note) and I can already tell that it is making us eat a lot more veggies than we normally do. And to know that it is so fresh and organically grown is very satisfying.

Lemon Yogurt Mousse with Blueberry Sauce



This is a delightful little dessert that I made over the Memorial day week end. It was really airy and light and the combination of slightly tart lemon and sweet blueberry sauce is a match made in heaven. My family really enjoyed the presentation in the individual ramekins and loved, loved the dessert. There were a lot of mmm's and yum's around the table.

Broiled sesame salmon with carrots and leeks



My oldest daughter has asked me many times to make salmon for dinner and I finally did. This is only the second fish recipe I have posted which shows that cooking and eating fish isn't something I naturally gravitate to. It is not that I don't like fish. I will often order fish at a nice restaurant, but preparing and cooking it at home is still rare.
