During the Summer, I always try to have an assortment of salads in the refrigerator. I never know who will be around at dinnertime. Family and friends are often over enjoying the pool and it is great to have sides available for whatever I am throwing on the grill. This Southern Style Potato Salad is always a big hit.

Cherry Crisp
I am lucky to have a daughter with a cherry tree. Normally this tree is very prolific and I am the happy recipient of all the bounty it provides. This year was rather sparse. It only provided enough cherries for this delicious crisp so we savored every bite.

Chicken Spiedini and Il Sorriso from Sicily #ItalianFWT
It's Summertime throughout the northern Continents, so we try to beat the heat by breaking out the grills. If we were visiting or living in Italy that might mean Spiedini. Spiedini translates to skewers. Any meat or item can be used. If it is on a skewer it is Spiedini.
