AUGUST 2008


SUMMER



Summer one dish dinner that goes well with a side of  fresh salad....


Summer Ribolita with fresh field peas and cherry tomatoes.








Polpette con Spaghetti/ Spaghetti and Meat Balls.








Sausage Gumbo with Ciabatta








Mini Burgers with Corn Chips: Grass-fed Beef with Blue Cheese and Lamb burger with Sun Dried Tomato.








Chicken Cacciatore.  Poulet Rouge enhanced the taste of this dish with fresh tomatoes and black olives.  I brought some leftovers to work and one of colleagues commented that I have a superior lunch!  I wonder if I had given her an inferior lunch complex.












Fresh Tomato and Cucumber Salad









Figs, figs, figs... they are ubiquitous in August from the local farmers markets to the neighbor's yard.   They are so juicy and sweet with yogurt and a little oregano honey.
















Pan Bagna Salad 







Squash Casserole. The local farmers markets provide the best squash in August.  A little Bechamel, a little Parmesan, and a lot of bread crumbs created  the best dish I've made all summer long. Indeed, it was Superior!
Fresh Figs, Greek Yogurt, and honey.
