Summer is nearing and there will be much more outdoor cooking. Today I grilled a nice salmon fillet simply seasoned with salt, pepper and olive oil and then served with a lemon wedge – very tasty!

Easy!! Dice one mango, add chopped onion, cilantro, a dash of lime juice and a dash of wine vinegar (red or white will work, I used red) Let sit for 15 minutes. Enjoy over grilled fish or chicken. YUM!

Okay – so its just pancakes…what is so special about pancakes?? Well, nothing especially, unless you get to make them on a weekday morning because one of the schools you teach for is out for summer. I made a heaping helping of these for the weeks to come since [...]
