EASY, BREEZY BUTTERNUT SQUASH
I discovered this dish earlier this year at Los Angeles restaurant, Nick & Stef's. Everyone at our dinner party loved this recipe! I so much so that I called the restaurant the next day to ask the chef if he'd share his recipe with me... lo and behold... he was kind and gracious enough to do so. Feel free to play with different seasonings that you really enjoy. Can even combine with rice or pasta. However, admittedly, I love it just the way it's described below... Bon Appétit!
Oven Fried Squash Rounds
My Great Aunt taught me how to make this, so I'm guessing it is an authentic southern recipe! I like it most because you can stretch a few squash to go a long ways! It is also good with any of the squashes - but, my family prefers it most with yellow squash. Even my kids eat it.

Chamomile Meditation Tea
The beauty of growing your own chamomile is you can pick just the flowers which look beautiful floating in the teapot or cup of tea. I personally like the German over the Roman chamomile. The Roman just seems to fruity to me. The meditation part of this recipe comes from spending a couple of hours outside carefully picking each of these flowers. Seems tedious but then you find yourself adrift in thought, smelling the beautiful scent of chamomile, and the soothing buzz of insects cruising from bud to bud. I eventually wind up with about a gallon container full of flowers. I will put the flowers on a large screen to dry and I won't drink any of this tea till late fall or early winter. But rest assured when I do it will instantly take me back to the warm early summer afternoon of flower picking. I really like it when I can find a little bit of summer in winter.
Cucumber Agua Fresca
This translates into cucumber fresh water and a better name could not be found. Because refreshing with a citrus zing is exactly what this is. I prefer this unsweetened, but I have a friend who adds a tiny touch of honey to his glass, which is nice too (a little vodka wouldn't hurt either!) - SippitySup
Dill Cucumber Salad with Shaved Machego
Fresh cucumbers, to me, don't need much seasoning. They have a refreshing flavor that is best accentuated, rather than drowned. Therefore, this recipe is simple, quick, and deliciously appealing on these hot, humid Florida afternoons.

This chorizo and cabbage stir fry recipe is so easy and delicious. I love it with hearty bread or couscous. This is amazing, try it for yourself!

Simple Sicilian Potato Salad
This Sicilian potato salad recipe is best served warm, soon after the potatoes are cooked which also helps spread the dressing around.
Watermelonade
My sister and some friends recently threw me a lovely bridal shower. The food, provided by Go Catering, was delicious. Happy guests devoured crudités, curried chicken salad, mini grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon, sausage rolls, and homemade currant and ginger scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam. To drink, there was a crisp rosé and a refreshing concoction of fresh watermelon, lemon, sugar and water known as "watermelonade." Apparently, it's one of the caterer's specialties, and everyone raved about the juicy, pink drink. This past weekend, I couldn't resist attempting it myself.
Bell-less, Whistle-less, Damn Good French Toast

Tarty Rhubarb-Thyme Compote
My mother often made a rhubarb sauce in the spring to have on hand as a treat, usually with vanilla ice cream. Rhubarb is often paired with strawberries to temper its tartness, but as I get older, I appreciate a bit of tartiness in a woman (or a man, for that matter), and certainly in my compote. Although thyme is usually served in savory dishes, with rhubarb it adds an earthiness and depth of flavor that takes this beyond a typical sweet treat. In this super simple recipe, the thyme flavor is subtle because I still want the rhubarb to be the star of the show, but you could play with it to suit your taste. I love this compote best for breakfast spooned on toast, over a scone, on pancakes, or swirled into yogurt. But Mom was on to something pairing it with vanilla ice cream. - Margy@hidethecheese
