summer fruit sauce

 to me summer means trying to eat as much local fruit as i possibly can.  and often i buy too much, and then we freeze, puree, or make sauces from what is getting too soft/old to be eaten in it's original form.  

i had some strawberries and nectarines that were on the way out, so we cut them up and cooked them with some butter and maple syrup into a lovely sauce that was delicious over ice cream, on pancakes, mixed into yogurt, or just eaten on its own.

 

what a day this was....

weekend breakfast - eggs with mock hollandaise sauce

 

homemade pancake mix

not that pancakes are difficult to make, but i thought it might be nice to have a ready made mix on standby for when The Girl requests weekend pancakes.  I used a Nigella recipe for the mix.  it was a breeze to have an easy mix on hand to grab - it only took a few minutes and the ingredients couldn't be simpler.

what i ate - Burrito Bowl

Cheeseburger Garlic Toast

 

Get some ground beef (or ground pork, chicken or turkey) and cook it up with some onion, garlic, whatever seasonings you want.  while that is happening, toast up some garlic bread in the oven and after it's toasted, use the back of a spoon to gently push down the middle of the toast to make a well for your filling.  once your meat is cooked, spoon into the toast wells, cover with cheese and broil until the cheese is melted.  plate and top with burger sauce, and any other toppings (tomatos, lettuce, pickles) that you like.
