Lemony Thyme Peach Lemonade
When I spotted this Lemony Thyme Peach Lemonade recipe in BHG magazine it instantly became 1st on the must-make list. It’s very well documented that I have a huge crush on lemon & thyme.

Tomato, Cheddar & Basil Pie
This Tomato Cheddar & Basil Pie might just be the prettiest pie I’ve ever made. There’s something so beautiful about a rainbow of homegrown ripe tomatoes. I’ll let these pictures do the talking. Words wouldn’t do it justice.

Peach, Berry & Basil Fruit Salad {with Orange Vinaigrette}
Peach, Berry & Basil Fruit Salad with Orange Vinaigrette. Something special happens when the warm orange vinaigrette meets the sliced peaches and berries. Something really special. This wonderful Peach, Berry & Basil Fruit Salad is sweet and sexy enough to be served as dessert. I say let ’em eat dessert for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Asian Noodles With Perfectly Seared Sea Scallops
My choice was Asian Noodles with Perfectly Seared Sea Scallops. We found such a bargain on Sea Scallops. Great big juicy sea scallops. I believe the steep price tag is what keeps me from eating them every day. But I do love them. We bought eight (should have bought more) and decided to prepare them two ways.

Homemade BBQ Sauce
We ran out of our favorite bottled BBQ sauce about the time I developed an insatiable craving for BBQ Chicken Pizza. Sadly it’s not available locally so this time I turned the tables and challenged myself to come up with a Homemade BBQ Sauce that was equally as good as our favorite.
