Happy Summer!

How are you spending your first day? Aside from pouting because the days are going to start getting shorter.

Here are my suggestions for a perfect summer meal ~

Mussels steamed in a broth of white wine, fresh tomatoes, herbs, and garlic::

A light salad of pea shoots, beets, raspberries, snap peas and sunflower seeds::

Don't forget to set the scene with a bouquet of flowers from the garden and a pooch lounging on the deck {waiting for your leftover bits}::


I would say to end it with a dish of fresh strawberry ice cream, but check your freezer, that may have been polished it off last night! So maybe you'll have to settle for some watermelon?

Happy Summer*
