I am in heaven.  I love it when my garden finally starts producing, and I can reap what I have sown.  I have told my four suntanned kids that my name is the Little Red Hen and I really shouldn’t be sharing a licking stitch with them.  They did nothing!! But I love them.  They’re really cute–thanks to James!  Anyways I haven’t been cooking anything out of the ordinary, just my favorite summer foods and I thought I’d re-introduce them since they were all posted 12 months ago and sometimes it’s nice for me to see my old favorites.

I’ve got 9 favorites pictured here and each one is so dang good!  Click on any of the names and it will take you to the respective post.  Try a few of these.  They are all delish.  Or better yet, try all nine.  You’ll thank me forever and I will be your favorite person in the world, and you will smile the whole time you’re making the yummy sound.  I love summer!
