Hello, my toasty fellow readers,
I know I do not say this often enough... I would like to thank
each and every one of you for reading my monthly article,
emailing responses on my last write-up, requesting more
recipes and info, some of you are inquiring where I am
located, even though there's info everywhere...
LOOK RIGHT
I have come a full circle, I returned where I began in 2012, am
at The Covered Bridge, Glades Road in the Arts & Craft
Community!! YES, you read correctly and YES, I've always
said I do not go backwards, (return from where I left). I should
have known better. I also said the same thing about being in
another relationship, it was the best I have ever had.
Okay, lets get to the good stuff.
Cantaloupe Soup
2 Cantaloupes
1 Cucumber
1 cup White Wine, (I prefer Dry)
1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Dash or 2 of Hot Sauce
Directions:
In a Blender add the following:
* Cantaloupes: Seeded & scooped
* Cucumber: Peeled, seeded & cubed
* Add: Wine, cayenne & hot sauce
* Blend well & chill for 1 -2 hours
*Pour into bowls
(I garnish with a sprig of mint)
Fizzy Watermelon Delight
In a blender –
2 cups – Seedless Watermelon, cubed
1/2 cup – Pink Lemonade
Fill 4 Glasses with ice and divide mixture among them.
Un-cola soda – (7-up, sprite, ginger ale), top off mixture in
glasses
*adding spirits may make this cooling drink a more relaxing time
Simple Grilled Chicken
1 lb - Boneless Chicken Breast, cut fat off & pound down to
even thickness
In a freezer bag add the following:
3 tablespoons – Balsamic Vinegar
2 tablespoons – Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I like the Smoky
Pecan)
1 tablespoon – Lemon Juice
Dash of each: Salt & Pepper
Seal bag & shake well
Add Chicken seal & shake
In my continuation of getting back and growing - Doggie
Treats and small sections of needed items, larger collection of
Chris Jones pottery, more types of Drink mixes, Soups &
Jarred Recipes, my famous Apple Butter & more. OH, of
course I'll be carrying everything else I had at my other place
like, Belgian Chocolate Fudge!
In closing, I wish to thank everyone for their help, support &
kindness, before, during and still, through my transformation
back to my life.
Thank you!
Come and see me at The Covered Bridge.
