Beat the Heat

It's a scorcher today.  Who wants to cook dinner?  Not us!  On a hot day we usually eat a late dinner once it's cooled down and the breeze comes up the cove.  We like to have cold roasted chicken, green salad and an iced tea out on the back porch.  My mom will get a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and we'll do an easy salad with tomatoes and cucumbers.  What do you eat on a hot summer night?

What's up Doc?

Carrot Wheel of Color

Carrots!  

They come in all shapes, sizes and colors.  Did you know carrots can be purple, orange, yellow, and white.  You can eat them raw, grated, shaved, boiled, roasted and mashed.  They can come with long, green tops or small and baby sized.  Carrots also help your eye sight!  Look for fun colored carrots at your grocery store and try to eat as many different colors of the rainbow every day.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!  We're grilling steaks for dinner and making rice pilaf and green beans -  all your favorites.  I hope you have a great day - Love Julia :)
