Summer in Pennsylvania means a few weeks of these sweet things appearing at a little fruit and vegetable stand in the parking lot near the bowling alley. I serve them with pound cake. Madison makes a delicious Danish dessert called Rødgrød med fløde, which translates to red porridge with cream. I also throw some in my smoothie, but they are best eaten right as is, sweeter than candy.
Summer also means easier and lighter meals. This is one of my favorites. I made an easy slow cooker chicken cacciatore recipe this week for dinner, and it was delicious. I used this recipe RIGHT HERE. I added a large can of Italian Style diced tomatoes because I had some, as well as some fresh basil leaves. I served it over angel hair pasta to make it lighter. And using fresh parmesan makes a world of difference!
Leaving you with this precious picture.
Because who doesn't love a pup in a basket of freshly washed and folded beach towels? Have a nice weekend, my friends! Thanks for visiting!

ReplyDeleteThat picture of pup is just the sweetest thing.
ReplyDeleteEvery single time I see Mocha, I want a little one just like her! She's got to be the most adorable baby I've seen.
ReplyDeleteI still am not doing my own grocery shopping. I need to ask my hubby to pick up some fresh strawberries. Yum. There are so many things you can do with them.
Enjoy your weekend!

ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo~

I love strawberries. There’s a strawberry festival in the neighboring county because they are famous for strawberries.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend!
Lovely Summer post. That little puppy is a delight, beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteOh yummers, fresh strawberries! They're just so good, irresistible. That pup is pretty irresistible too! I also love the summer meals...around August, I'll start craving the stews and squashes though!
ReplyDeleteStrawberry season is nearly over in Oregon. I bought 2 pints of blueberries when I was at Baumans the other day. It is to be 113 degrees on Sunday and 103 on Monday. They are hoping berries still keep growing in the hot days. Not usual for Oregon. Marionberries are one of my other favorite berries which are only grown in Oregon. Of course an adorable pet loves to get into anything clean!! HAA!! I need to make something with blueberries soon as house is still cool for now. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose strawberries look delicious. X
ReplyDeleteI bought strawberries while on vacation and we enjoyed them several different ways, right out of the carton is my fave:) I am going to pull that recipe, thanks. I NEED new things to cook. Your basket full of cuteness made me smile! Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteDelicious looking strawberries! Your last picture...adorable!
