Gorgeous hydrangeas! Love your marinated tomatoes recipe. I’m not ready for summer to end, but fall is in the air. Your recipes are so great with farmer’s market produce.
Thank you! I can’t stop making the marinated tomatoes! So easy!
I love that Hydrangea tree I only ever see the blue/purples ones here in the northeast. I love that we have had the taste of fall weather this week, but I know that heat will definitely be coming back. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow’s recipe is. Try and stay cool!
I love all colors of hydrangeas. I hope you love the recipe! Stay cool!

I just got a lot of summer apples from a friend. What can you make with these kind of apples? I live in California & never heard of these. BTW, love your recipes and have your cookbook.
I’ve never had a summer apple. What do they look like and taste like? Thank you!
Just wanted to say hi and have a great weekend and keep those great recipes coming. My family loves them and happy back to school day for your family.
