Happy Monday, y’all!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.  We got a pay it forward surprise yesterday when a neighbor walked across the street and handed Nathan an envelope with 4 tickets and a parking pass to yesterday’s Astros vs Marlins game.  This was the kids first ever MLB game and they loved it!  The seats were amazing, and we even ran into Greis!

I didn’t do much cooking this past week, since I was in Wisconsin with Kikkoman and my fellow ambassadors: Whit, Tessa and Ericka, I did however manage to perfect the Creamy Avocado Sorbet with Candied Pistachio Brittle from my California Avocados trip!

 

Y’all had some pretty yummy stuff going last week, which made me wish I’d been around my kitchen more!!

================================================================================

The combination of Strawberry and Mint in this Strawberry Mint Smoothie immediately caught my eye.  It sounds absolutely delicious and refreshing, perfect for a hot summer day.

Candied Ginger Tropical Fruit Tart.  The beautiful colors in the picture made my mouth start watering, and then I caught sight of the name of the recipe and immediately hopped over to True Blue Baking to check it out.  This is sure to be a hit with anyone you make it for!

Rolo candies are one of my favorite candies to make treats with.  The chocolate and caramel combination just lends itself to delciousness, as proven once again by Life With The Crust Off’s Rolo Milkshake.  Oh yes, you read that correctly. Rolo Milkshake!
