Is it summer Yet?

Is it summer yet?! Let’s think about all of the things that make summer just FAB. Nostalgic summery things that make me say… yep here’s that summer feeling.

-yellow pear tomatoes right from the vine. there is nothing like it, I swear! I pop tomatoes like candy during the summer. If you have an overhaul of tomatoes in your garden, SEND THEM MY WAY :)

-farfalle (bow-tie) pasta salad with pesto, Ricotta Salata, and fresh corn off the cob. I actually can’t remember the last time I had this but it was too many summers ago??

-ice cream just about every other day maybe? It’s usually soft serve vanilla, extra fudge, and sprinkles. Why not! Just balance the rest of the day out…

-my mother's potato salad. It’s the only potato salad I will ever eat (maybe) because the russet potato: mayo: boiled egg: s&p ratio rocks. And, it’s eaten when the potatoes are lukewarm. That’s key! Sometimes I dip the potatoes in sambal too.

-to me, eating corn on the cob is like eating an ice pop. It just has to be from the right source, and perfection takes place!

what about you? what’s your summer nostalgia???
